15th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Initial promise as a novice (October 2021) has not been fulfilled; probably best run since when staying on in the 3m Kerry National last September only to fall at the last; unraced beyond that distance; changed hands and left Emmet Mullins before penultimate start; latest was a step back in the right direction but he has a lot to prove. |

8th Feb 2023 Soft 2m 7f 124y |

Seven-time winner, including twice fences; scored on the Flat last summer; left Emmet Mullins after a hurdles run at Thurles in October; down the field in the Pertemps qualifier at Leopardstown on first start for this stable; form has become erratic but merits respect in this company. |

11st 12lb |
Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 141y |

Veteran won this race for Noel Meade five years ago off 81 and last win came on Dundalk AW in February 2022; fair AW form last winter for the late Kevin Prendergast, reappearing for current yard when placed in 2m5f Sligo handicap hurdle last month; retains enthusiasm so can't be ruled out; first-time tongue-tie. |
