9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |
5/1 |

7th 5 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |
7/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

10st 12lb |
Last won at Clonmel in October 2024 off 4lb lower (2m4f, good); posted a decent effort in a handicap chase when last seen at Wexford last July; likely to need this run. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Last season's hurdle win came in 2m4f Clonmel handicap (good); returned from a 174-day absence in handicap chases in May, tending to jump right when third at Limerick and pulled up after never counting at Tramore; others preferred. |
25/1 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Returned from an absence to finish a tired third of seven on chase debut at Limerick nine days ago (2m4f, good); he has some decent hurdles form including winning a handicap from a mark of 80 last October; from the point-to-point scene so may have more in his locker with fitness on his side. |

Got off the mark over hurdles here over a similar trip to this but was poor at Bellewstown since; has to rebound on chasing debut but is at least proven on this track. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Made the breakthrough at Sligo last week on 21st hurdle start, had been threatening to win, and could go well again off a 5lb higher mark. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |

Still a maiden after 20 runs over hurdles; not far off her best when fourth over 2m2f at Downpatrick in June; chased home easy winner Chance Another One at Ballinrobe; fourth behind the in-form Mephisto at the same venue nine days ago. |

Now a 20 race maiden over hurdles; his run at Punchestown on New Year's Eve when a runner-up would give him a definite chance; however, he has been beaten by 26l+ in his last two runs. |

Maiden runs not without merit; looked in need of further when keeping on for sixth on handicap debut in a 2m1f contest at Cork in June; hard to be confident after a poor run at Killarney a month ago, but early days still and might be transformed by a hood. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |
