Won slow-ground handicaps at Punchestown earlier this year and was respectable in defeat there last time; off since late April but rain would bring him into it. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 5lb |
Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal in January; pulled up at Thurles on his final start for the now-retired Des McDonogh; 10lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display. |

Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form so far; premature to write off but hard to recommend until he shows some spark again; runs off 12lb lower than current hurdles rating. |

Gained his only hurdles win in this race a year ago, making all to win easily on good ground after 200 days off; trying to repeat that feat; also ran well here a couple of times in August before form tailed off. |

Shot up the handicap after winning by 10l over 2m2f at this track in May; some decent efforts in defeat since though was below form at Galway last time; needs his best. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 97y |
10st 12lb |
Maiden went close to gaining a breakthrough win at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) last month; up 2lb but handles softer ground and can go well again. |

22-race maiden (0-12 in hurdle races); never in the first three; flashes of form, but hard to make a strong case for her. |

His best hurdles form for Charles Byrnes seems long gone and he's now regressive; well beaten in his previous chase this January. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 55y |

Had smart form in his younger days when with Charles Byrnes, but has regressed considerably; starts off with new yard now. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |

First reserve; Sligo maiden hurdle winner in 2024; not a bad run on return from a break at Clonmel latest and handicapper giving her a chance, but stamina a query over this trip. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Front-runner's sole win came in 2m2f Sligo mares' maiden in 2024 (good), good second in Limerick handicap over a year ago off 99; 0-10 chasing and well held back hurdling when last seen in October; ground to suit, don't rule out off this reduced mark. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 118y |
11st 6lb |
Three wins at up to 2m6f but not for a while; Tipperary comeback run last month very promising but didn't back that up at Killarney; possibly vulnerable to stronger stayers here and ideally wants it softer. |
12/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 1lb |
Made an error at the last when beaten roughly 2l behind Queenofthelodge at Tipperary a fortnight ago; 3lb rise is fine and entitled to come on for that first run in six months; two of his wins have come on heavy so warrants respect. |
8/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 4lb |
Return to form of sorts when 6.5l second at Limerick over Christmas last time (2m4f, yielding to soft); winner off a mark of 100 in 2023; appears to like softer conditions. |
18/1 |
