14th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Has done well since joining this yard; ran creditably at Cheltenham in January when bidding for a five-timer, then shaped better than bare result suggests in the Imperial Cup; remains on highest mark, however. |

11th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won first four races for Fergal O'Brien, shooting up the weights as a result; creditable fourth of 15 off this mark at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft; wind surgery since) six weeks ago; a repeat of that would put him thereabouts again but he'll need another jolt of improvement to return to winning ways. |

Four from four since joining Fergal O'Brien and fitted with tongue-tie, with the first three of those wins gained over 2m/2m4f on soft going and the latest in pretty smooth style over 2m1f here on good; raised another 8lb but he still looks capable of better. |

Smart novice at 2m-2m3f, including on soft, but was very highly tried on handicap debut in the Betfair Hurdle last February (was only 13-2), then in the Supreme at Cheltenham; off since and initially due to go chasing but should have plenty to offer at this level over hurdles. |

11st 0lb |
Irish novice hurdler who arrives in promising form, having scored decisively under Shane O'Callaghan at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) last month; likely player provided she copes with the drop back in trip. |

5th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 150y |
10st 4lb |
Showed a fair standard of form in bumpers, highlighted by a front-running win at Tipperary last July; maiden hurdle win was gained over 2m5f at Tramore; pleasing handicap run over 2m4f here at Christmas, but may be vulnerable over shorter trip. |
