21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
11st 2lb |
Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come. |

Is 1-9 over hurdles, scoring at Gowran last October and a solid handicap run next time; has also been placed at this track; chasing debut after a break; could run well. |

Runner-up on five occasions before trouncing The Mediator at Gowran early last month; the reopposing runner-up has since won a maiden in similar fashion; every chance he can feature in his first handicap. |

Good dual-purpose performer and did well in amateur-rider contests in the autumn, winning over 2m at Clonmel and placed twice over 1m4f at the Curragh; fair bit to find with a couple of these; first ride for jockey. |

Bumper winner who upped his form to another level when winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in April with a subsequent winner back in third (2m4f soft); tailed off when out of his depth at Punchestown festival last time (2m3f, yielding); will likely be seen at his best over fences. |

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims. |

Took the scalps of Air Of Entitlement and Bacchanalian when scoring in a four-runner rated race over C&D (sft-hvy) in November; no show in handicaps twice since and failed to complete at Navan last time; eased 3lb and return to this track a plus but needs to rebound. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y |

Some promise in bumpers and placed in three maiden hurdles last year for his former yard; Won very easily for this rider on stable/handicap debut at Bellewstown; hit with 16lb rise that looks punitive. |

Made the breakthrough under this rider at the 15th attempt at Punchestown in December (3m, heavy) when making all in first-time cheekpieces; up 5lb and beaten 16l at Punchestown last time (2m7f, heavy); capable of more. |

Back-to-back runner-up finishes at Punchestown at the end of last year/new year were the best of his handicap efforts; three runs since then have been disappointing, finished 24l behind at Wexford last time; can get involved at his best but risky. |
