6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 44y |
11st 12lb |
Now 0-14 over hurdles but several solid runs in handicaps over this trip; well below best back in maiden company at Sligo last time but on best form holds every chance here in a weak enough maiden. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 11lb |
Twice placed in maiden hurdles in 2024; weak form last year; good enough to win a recent maiden point at Castletown-Geoghegan, but the form does not amount to much. |
10/1 |

Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |

Took a big step in the right direction when a 4l second of 11 at Killarney (2m7f, yld-sft) last time; should stay this far and go well again off 2lb higher. |

Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |
