2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 70y |
12st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner on soft; yet to show a great deal over fences; flopped when favourite for Clonmel race won by today's rival Druim Samhraidh; possibly unwise to rule out. |

Flat/hurdles winner on soft; creditable Flat run on good ground last summer; shaped much better on latest chase start when beaten 8l and is 8lb lower than his hurdles mark; headgear an interesting addition. |

Stepped up on her previous form when only finding the gambled-on Pont Audemer too good in a 2m handicap hurdle at Limerick two weeks ago; will be hard to beat if able to reproduce that. |

Distant second at Punchestown two starts ago was a promising run but pulled up at Ballinrobe since; his better form has come on softer ground. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No reason to recommend on strength of modest efforts this year at Chepstow and Hexham (twice); however, the handicapper has cut him some slack, and he sits just 1lb higher than when winning readily at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) last November; best form is on soft/heavy. |
16/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in November on second stable start and, with this hood back on, took a step back in the right direction when 7l sixth of 14 over this C&D (soft) last month; showed promise on good to yielding ground earlier in career; capable of building on that latest effort. |

Won a 2m1f Killarney handicap last October when returning from an even longer absence; later showed that she can cope with this higher mark; possibilities if bouncing back from some lesser efforts. |

Got quite tired here when last seen on handicap debut but that was another promising run; not sure what to make of him now; new trainer a son of 6yo's old one, who often targeted this Festival. |
