16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Point and bumper winner who also showed promise in maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott; it's possible he'll be suited by the switch to fences on today's handicap and stable debut, but he's been absent since January and no chances have been taken with his mark; may be best watched. |

Point and bumper winner; has gone close in a couple of maiden hurdles over 2m4f; sets the standard on form but he didn't seem to appreciate the step up to this sort of trip at Fairyhouse three weeks ago so has stamina to prove. |

Breakthrough win at the eighth attempt over hurdles in Clonmel maiden on latest (19.5f, gd-yld); respected on handicap debut off what could be a workable mark. |

Bumper winner in 2023 ran his best race over hurdles when second at Fairyhouse in November having returned after an absence; some decent runs since but was poor back at the same track last time and has to return to best. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Bumper winner and second on hurdling debut in 2023; has come back from a two-year layoff; good second to 114-rated rival in a 2m maiden at this venue, fell here next start; fourth in a Limerick novice face last time; would get 12lb from He Can't Dance in a handicap. |

Beaten 18l on debut in a soft ground Thurles bumper in March over this trip; started 2-1 then so better was expected; still, is entitled to have improved and this sounder surface could suit more, so still highly respected from this yard. |

Both hurdle wins came at Cork on good ground last year; 0-4 chasing this year, just headed when unseating two out at Limerick last time; reverts to hurdles with trip/ground to suit. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Handicap chase debutante; 2-10 over hurdles (both wins on good ground) and rated 4lb higher in that sphere; not many positives to take from three beginners' chase runs on soft at 15.5f-2m2f; this trip more suitable but needs the forecast rain to miss. |

Two-time winning hurdler (rated 119); always near the back in first two beginners' chases at Thurles (both 2m2f, soft); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out. |

Irish-trained novice who has improved the last twice, easily winning big-field handicap at Leopardstown (extended 3m, good to yielding) in December then second of 16 at same track (2m5f, yielding); could do with jumping better than last time but this progressive 7yo may have more left in the tank. |
