28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Belied 80-1 odds when placed off today's mark in this race last year but was well beaten on next hurdling start and has been absent since some disappointing Flat runs in the autumn; too risky. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner in Ireland (1m1f/1m2f) but the latest of those wins came over two years ago; didn't run badly at Beverley on her Flat debut for this yard but she was beaten a long way at Catterick three weeks ago; down in class but others look stronger. |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 40y |
10st 2lb |
Five-time winner; last scored at Leopardstown in May 2025 off 4lb lower; struggled on soft ground on seasonal return over 1m6f here in April; might need another run or two to hit top form. |

8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 180y |
10st 3lb |
Won his fifth race on the Flat when scoring over 1m4f at Leopardstown last year; some fine runs in defeat after up to 2m; below form last two runs but a chance if at best on return. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Fifth career win came over C&D in May (good) and somewhat mixed form since, standout run when just denied over 2m1f at Clonmel last month (Bottler'secret 3L away third); heavy ground could have been too testing at Listowel last time so remains of interest back on better ground. |
