13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Looked promising in good-ground bumpers in summer 2023, winning here and at Stratford; makes hurdling debut after 673-day absence but solid market support will heighten interest. |

Brother to useful jumper Delusionofgrandeur; led close home to win good-ground Irish point in May, his fifth start; the second from that race was placed in a recent Southwell bumper; considered each-way on rules debut. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Solid record in bumpers but has dismal form figures since switched to hurdles; however, drops to weaker level on return from a break and may improve. |

11st 12lb |
Won 2m2f Downpatrick bumper last season (soft); emerged from over a year's absence when never travelling (pulled up) in Grade 3 Navan novice last month and never sighted since in Fairyhouse maiden; best watched. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner built on previous chasing promise with a 2l win at Kelso in February (2m5f, good to soft) in a four-runner field; this is a different challenge altogether and needs to improve again in first-time cheekpieces. |
16/1 |

1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Ayr maiden hurdle winner (2m4f; made much of running) last winter; shaped well over the extended 2m7f here on his first two starts this season and he wasn't disgraced over 3m at Down Royal last time; this drop in distance should suit him and he could be ready to strike. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has won three races over fences, the latest off this mark over C&D in October (good); has not been in top form last few starts; could bounce back. |
11/2 |

8th 6 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has only won over fences (three times) and still held some sort of chance when unseating nine days ago at Market Rasen; his hurdle form isn't so convincing, though. |
20/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won three chases, the latest at Hexham in October; not at his best on last two runs but on a fair mark now and could go well. |

2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
First foal; dam well held in bumper/fell in 2m hurdle, closely related to fair 3m hurdle winner Blairgowrie, half-sister to fair 2m5f/2m7f hurdle winner Victarion; one of two newcomers from stable with 8% strike-rate in bumpers. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 11lb |
Well-exposed mare; ran ten times in points without winning, placed on three occasions; second in a seven-runner Sligo bumper in July; down the field in a stronger race at Galway last time. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 175y |
11st 11lb |
Maiden has run respectably over 18.5f on good ground at Sligo the last twice; looking exposed now and needs more to get her head in front. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 59y |
11st 11lb |
Competitive without winning in points and has shaped with promise in a couple of bumpers so far this season; may give the Mullins representative the most to think about. |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden over hurdles; plenty to make up with a few of these on his below-par tenth at Ayr last time (2m, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); tongue-tie left off here but blinkers now tried. |
