Second runner for yard; a record of 1-12 over hurdles; was a 12l runner-up in a Tramore claiming hurdle last time so can run well but needs to do more. |

Maiden; yet to deliver on promise shown in 3yo hurdles in 2024; badly out off form over fences and hurdles in 2026; not easy to make a case for. |

10st 0lb |
Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April for Noel Meade and some decent runs in defeat since; can be forgiven a poor Flat run on testing ground at Gowran five days ago but still needs more; 5lb out of the handicap. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April and runner-up in a Kilbeggan handicap was his best run since; well beaten in Flat return in a claimer around here last month (1m, good); cheekpieces on now but others preferred. |

10st 6lb |
It was a low-grade 1m4f handicap she won at Limerick 16 days ago and that was hard work; had made a good start to hurdling career until let down by her jumping when pulled up in a Downpatrick handicap; not bred for chasing but she's a 4yo filly receiving all the allowances. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
5/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 150y |
10st 4lb |
Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal, let down badly by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown last time; has an edge over Laurie Blue on that running and holds a leading chance. |
7/2 |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal last week; let down badly by his jumping; may do better, although it is hard to know what inspired the market move, since he has failed to reach the first three in 13 races over hurdles. |
8/1 |
