17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 41y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Last campaign was very hit and miss but included two wins over about 2m4f on heavy going and he seems to be working his way back to form this season; not proven beyond 2m5f but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 2lb
|
Reserve; far better known as a smart hurdler, runner-up at this meeting in 2023 and 2024, with latter race the 3m Grade 1; below form over jumps over the last year, however, and he looks poorly handicapped (particularly from 4lb wrong) judged on his results over fences. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Third in the 2m4f Martin Pipe at this meeting in 2023; creditable fifth in last year's Grade 1 Stayers' here but he's not really sparked since, including over fences; 6lb lower now than his peak British mark; equipped with cheekpieces on latest outing (stiff task) and today. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
12st 2lb |
Interfered with early when tailed off on the Flat last time; didn't run too badly in the Galway Plate the time before when mistakes didn't help, but this smart hurdler has yet to reach the same heights over fences; respected but others appeal more. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
10st 7lb |
Record of 5-13 in points; opened account on the track at the 18th attempt, improving on hunter chase form to land a 2m5f handicap at Fairyhouse off 104 in January (soft); maintained consistency with a promoted third at Thurles last time (2m2f, soft); others preferred. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 118y |
11st 6lb |
Three wins at up to 2m6f but not for a while; Tipperary comeback run last month very promising but didn't back that up at Killarney; possibly vulnerable to stronger stayers here and ideally wants it softer. |
12/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 1lb |
Made an error at the last when beaten roughly 2l behind Queenofthelodge at Tipperary a fortnight ago; 3lb rise is fine and entitled to come on for that first run in six months; two of his wins have come on heavy so warrants respect. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Return to form of sorts when 6.5l second at Limerick over Christmas last time (2m4f, yielding to soft); winner off a mark of 100 in 2023; appears to like softer conditions. |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 3f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Showed some ability in bumpers last year but hasn't built upon that over hurdles; a decent effort on yard debut at Galway but was tailed-off at Gowran since. |

30th Sep 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't built on the promise he showed in bumpers in early 2022; no improvement in handicaps but it was a step back in the right direction at Galway 19 days ago when beaten 8l on his yard debut; might have finished closer without a mistake at the last and entitled to come on for that first run of the campaign; could go well. |

11th Sep 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 55y |

Down in trip; was off for 21 months prior to a decent effort in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Limerick in December; failed to back that up a week later at Cork; best watched. |

7th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

10st 8lb |
Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good); probably in need of the run on course return in February; likely to strip fitter now; won here on her second start after a break last year; strong contender. |

Very lightly raced 8yo; won 2m5f Limerick handicap in late 2022 (heavy) and touched off at Cork a year later on return; two December comeback runs after further absence leave him with plenty to find. |
