25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer; third in the Irish Lincoln here in March; has won two small-field hurdle races at Cork since then, well below his best on the Flat at Listowel. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 197y |
11st 12lb |
Good dual-purpose performer; third in the Irish Lincoln this year off 94; won a 2m conditions hurdle at Cork in April; below best when facing a stiff task in a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary in July; comfortable winner of a two-runner hurdle at Cork in August; never in contention in a Flat handicap at Listowel; meets Glen Kiln on 13lb worse than handicap terms |

11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner; bounced back from a poor show at Royal Ascot to be beaten a neck in 12.5f handicaps at Galway and Gowran Park, rallying strongly, before his fair sixth of nine at Listowel when trying 1m6f; all those were under 7lb claimer; just four ran at Gowran but he could be on a good mark. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 55y |
10st 0lb |
Front-runner; beaten a neck in 12.5f handicaps at Gowran Park and Galway on last two starts; probably flattered by margin of defeat last time but did rally well and looks well worth trying over this longer trip; should make a bold bid. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 3lb |
Won a Thurles Grade 3 novice chase in March before a solid Punchestown fourth behind Sea Music; placed in a 20-runner Flat handicap at the Curragh in May; stablemate of the strongly-fancied Nurburgring, and same colours as another leading fancy Down Memory Lane. |

Second runner for yard; useful dual-purpose sort scored sole Flat win over 1m4f at this track in 2022; mostly jumping since and won a Thurles Grade 3 novice chase in March before a fine Punchestown fourth; respected back on the level. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive in 2023 and well handicapped on best of that form; it's not been repeated and she finished last in her only two races (last August) on firmer than good; while there's renewed hope to be gained from the competitive displays on her last two outings, others look more potent as win prospects. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
16th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Smart handicap form in 2023 included C&D win in premier handicap; below par during a light campaign last year but much more encouraging effort on second start this term when forcing pace in 1m4f Cork handicap 10 days ago, rallying well when beaten a neck; less negatives than some of these regarding trip and ground so could be the one to follow Kyprios home. |
