17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 12lb |
Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |

4th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account in similar event over C&D (good) last week, taking Bath record to 42321 and adding to his AW/hurdles wins; incurs 4lb penalty but defied this mark a couple of years ago; very solid chance. |

Multiple AW winner who has won over hurdles but is 0-18 on turf on the Flat; won at Wolverhampton in March (1m4f) but he's not easy to predict. |

Landed some tidy bets when taking this in 2024 but subsequently went on a barren spell; finally back on the scoresheet last month but disappointed in a classified (also C&D) one week later; had an excuse that day but others look more solid. |

Three-time Flat winner although she last won nearly four years ago; maiden over hurdles but a reproduction of her Ballinrobe second off 87 last August would give her a squeak; well beaten when last seen at Tramore. |

Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he returned to the Flat with an eyecatching third over C&D (hood reapplied) on recent stable debut; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix. |
