25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

Well held on first two starts but improved to finish fourth at Cork 35 days ago, beaten 13.5l; that was a step in the right direction but he needs to improve to be involved. |

26th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Won his bumper here in early 2022; hasn't got close to that RPR since sent over hurdles but Wexford last time was a step in the right direction, finishing fourth of 14; however, he was beaten 16l and this 8yo looks to have limitations. |

Impressive Downpatrick bumper winner in March 2022; hasn't built on that since in three starts since; beaten 28l into fifth at Ballinrobe 27 days ago after 15 months off; entitled to come on for that but will need to. |

10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-7 as a chaser but has placed form over C&D; beaten favourite when a fair third here last month on stable debut; ran poorly when again the market leader at Killarney; may have lost confidence after a mistake at the first. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Won back to back races last summer, a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) and a Kelso novice (2m5f, good); out of depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen in October; not bred for this game and probably best watched after a 219-day absence. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
All his best form is on good ground and he was withdrawn from a yielding-to-soft engagement; made all for wins at around 2m5f at Bellewstown and Kelso, latterly by a narrow margin; up in grade and down in trip, others appeal more. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, despite some indifferent jumping; posted an RPR of 127 in the process and that sets the standard here; stable won this last year; softening ground might not be ideal (withdrawn from a yielding to soft engagement). |
