30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 120y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles but 0-6 chasing on soft ground, reportedly struck into at Gowran last time; some encouragement at same track previously; longer trip and better ground could see improvement; 1lb wrong. |

8th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Two wins over hurdles; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at last season's Punchestown festival; ran prominently in a 2m4f handicap chase here on return, had weakened before falling two out. |

15th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Two-time hurdles winner is 0-4 over the bigger obstacles; reverts to chasing after two poor efforts over timber; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen in May 2024 in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); rated 6lb lower over fences but he's hard to fancy. |

Has won a point, maiden hurdle and beginners' chase but lost her form over fences for Gordon Elliott last autumn; no better on debut for this yard but could do better returned to hurdles today. |

Consistent hurdler was a chase debut winner for Gordon Elliott at Tramore last summer (2m, yielding) but well held in novices and handicaps afterwards; debuts for new yard here. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Mainly in fair form this season and can be forgiven a below-par run on testing ground at Exeter last time; these conditions suit; each-way chance with cheekpieces back on. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat towards the end of 2025; 10l second of four at Carlisle 17 days ago on chase debut, showing she has some way to go before she's matching today's rivals over fences. |

Three front-running hurdle wins in 2024 (2m5f/3m, soft/good to soft) and she was running pretty well in defeat against fellow mares towards the end of 2025; receives 7lb from the males today and holds leading claims if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

10st 13lb |
Gained a breakthrough success in a 2m7f Clonmel handicap in March off a 9lb lower mark; fair fourth at Killarney on penultimate start but hard to be confident about his chance |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |

Off the mark in 2m7f Clonmel handicap in March off 10lb lower mark; okay runs since over shorter trips, stamina unproven over this far. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 85y |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in point-to-point and a bumper; opening two maiden hurdle runs came in good company, notably sixth at Punchestown; recent Tramore fourth not at the same level, plenty keen then; hood tried here and rider had a recent winner in Britain. |

31st Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still lightly raced for his age but pulled up on all three starts for Henry Oliver this season, the last twice in handicap chases; sports first-time cheekpieces here; big leap of faith required to support him. |

27th Jan 2024 Heavy 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner in 2022; showed some promise over hurdles on his penultimate run for Henry de Bromhead but he's been pulled up in both runs for this yard, including on his chase debut at Wetherby (3m, soft); has lots to prove and can only be watched. |

11st 2lb |
Irish raider who is 0-13 but ran okay to be fifth in a Killarney handicap (2m4f) last time and looks up to winning a race of this nature; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Pick of form came when C& third (Hard Target second) last month but faller at Wexford since; remains of interest. |

11th Aug 2023 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Showed a hint of ability in maidens and best handicap run came over 2m4f at Killarney last time, running on; this step up in trip should suit and runs off the same mark, so one to consider. |
