1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Useful 3m hurdler for Willie Mullins before fruitless spell over fences in Britain; seems to have been revitalised by point-to-points, winning three in the spring; in contention when slipping up in banks race at Punchestown; chased home Solitary Man at Killarney and 3lb better off here. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins; in good form in points prior to slipping up late on at Punchestown when he was keeping on; still up against it with some of these. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Decent novice hurdler for Willie Mullins (suited by a sound surface) but still a maiden chaser; however, comes here on the back of three point-to-point wins for Michael Mangan, having earlier chased home Fountain House over the banks at Lingstown; not one to rule out on return to the track. |

Failed to prosper in top staying handicaps after winning the 2024 Troytown for Gordon Elliott; should show the benefit of a point-to-point run at Oldtown in February. |

18th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 180y |
10st 1lb |
Hurdle winner is a Flat maiden but has been largely consistent in defeat this term; a cracking run last time in the Apprentice Derby at the Curragh and should go well with a repeat. |

0-9 on the Flat but has hit the crossbar in two recent starts at this sort of trip at Gowran; up 3lb for latest effort though and this is tougher so he's opposable. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 0lb |
A maiden in 18 starts, four over fences, but put in three fair efforts over fences last year, most notably when second to Hit The Frame at Wexford, before being pulled up at this track over hurdles 177 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap off basement mark here but could go well. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in 2023 and is 1-10 over fences; hasn't had much racing in the last two years but ran two fine races in valuable Cheltenham handicaps last winter; not as good after wind surgery in the Ultima handicap last time; player if at best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't jump well when 16l fifth to Myretown in this race last March (good to soft); solid course record otherwise and he twice made the frame here (3m1f/3m2f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year; has had a wind operation since and he's an each-way candidate if jumping better than 12 months ago. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Perhaps unfortunate not to win this 12 months ago and returned in March with a highly commendable fifth in the Ultima given that his jumping was a major hindrance (had fallen the time before); simply never gave his running at Punchestown on final start; if he can find any fluency over his fences he'd be a danger to all; stable has won the last two editions of this. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
No threat to front pair when third in recent Ulster National (a race she won last year) at Downpatrick (3m4f, good) but that was still a pretty good effort and she remains on a workable mark; considered each-way. |

4th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 95y |
10st 10lb |
Beaten favourite in four of her five maiden hurdle attempts, including 6l second at Killarney last time; has been placed in small-field Grade 3 races and gets a fair bit of weight from the winners with Ben Harvey's valuable claim in play; no easy task all the same. |

15th May 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Turned over at odds on but wasn't far off her best when third of 13 in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month; worth another go at this trip, particularly if the ground dries out but she has to give weight away. |

3rd 9 |
9th Apr 2023 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner was runner-up over a bit further here on hurding bow and consistent since, including when good third against geldings in Thurles Grade 3; beaten a long way in another Grade 3 latest but good opportunity here in an ordinary race. |
