Lightly raced since winning back-to-back 2m4f handicaps in 2023; encouraging comeback run at Kilbeggan but pulled up on latest at Punchestown; the jury is out. |

Lightly raced since winning back-to-back 2m4f handicaps in 2023; after six months off, his Kilbeggan comeback was encouraging and he's on a good mark if he comes forward from that. |

Won back-to-back 2m4f handicap hurdles on testing ground in early 2023; struggled in a light campaign in 2024-2025 and pulled up in sole run last season; hard to fancy. |

Better known as a chaser but has shown smart hurdles form in the past; would have a squeak if back in top form off a lower hurdle mark. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Two wins include this race last year off 2lb lower; standout run this term when second in Grade 3 Punchestown contest (2m7f), tame effort last time (albeit stiff task) in Grade 2 at Thurles; not one to rule out back in handicap company. |

Useful sort; best form at Punchestown, including when second to the talented Heart Wood three starts ago; 2-16 record over fences is not a great return bearing in mind his 147 rating; inferior to the four Mullins-trained runners on official figures |

11st 9lb |
Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |

Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest. |

Rated 139 over hurdles, two of three wins having been at Bellewstown; ran well on chase debut when second in Galway beginners' last summer but didn't count at Tipperary more recently; not easy to assess back chasing. |

Sole win from 20 attempts over fences came in a Clonmel beginners' chase in 2023; however, he has been running well in defeat, with several placed finishes including on seasonal return at Wexford in July (2m3f, good); pulled up at Market Rasen when last seen. |

Irish challenger; 3lb out of the weights and over two years since he last won (overall strike-rate of 2-33); however, good second at Wexford on his return from a break and he's one who won't mind what the weather does. |
