11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in October and bounce back from a lesser effort when runner-up over fences at Thurles last month; now 9lb lower in this sphere and should go well. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 2lb |
Two chase wins; went close at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); twice placed from three visits to this track; shaped quite well for this when fourth at Limerick ten days ago on first run after a break; made a lot of the running then, every chance with fitness advanced. |

Two-time chase winner, including here (2m2f, good to yielding); went close off 1lb lower at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); lacks a recent run but goes well fresh; a drying track would enhance his chance. |

23rd May 2023 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 180y |

More than two years since the last of his two wins and, from the front, he weakened out of the picture at Thurles three months ago; others appeal more. |

23rd Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y |

Maiden; runner-up twice over hurdles in Ireland but hasn't produced a great deal in four British starts (for John Mackie), the latest in a chase; better required on stable debut if he's to figure. |

11st 1lb |
Won over hurdles on stable debut in September and was third in valuable chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; struggled in heavy-ground hurdle last month but he's better than that and now returns to fences on a good mark; might be the answer. |

3m winner over fences in Ireland and made a winning debut for this yard over hurdles in September (2m5f, good to soft); his subsequent defeats, all over 3m and divided between hurdles and fences, suggest his current mark is on the high side. |
