Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time, but his two runs at this track last autumn were some of his better efforts. |

Five-time winner over hurdles is rated 49lb inferior to Ballyadam in that discipline; belated Flat debut when well held in Bellewstown maiden last month (5.5l off Battling Ski); good bit to find. |

Won a Clonmel maiden hurdle last December and some decent runs in defeat since; moved to this yard after being 4th in a Sligo claiming hurdle last time; of interest. |

Clonmel maiden winner on soft ran okay on last month's comeback in 3m Bellewstown handicap; not one to rule out off a handy weight given his rider's claim. |

Maiden winner who ran okay in a Leopardstown handicap next time; jumping has let him down over fences the last twice but of interest back hurdling. |

Five-time winner including two here over 2m; scored over 2m4f at Cork in November; well below that level in three starts since but could rebound now dropped into this grade. |

Won his fifth race over hurdles at Cork in November (2m4f, yielding); unfancied and struggled off revised mark in two runs following that; needs to return to form. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 4lb |
Three hurdle wins; best effort this season was when just denied over fences at this track in July; not as good since and questions after being pulled-up on last two hurdle starts. |
20/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
Pushed Lakefield Flyer all the way over 2m3f here last month but has since pulled up over hurdles at Galway and finished last of the four in a beginners chase; did face a tough task last time and this is more realistic. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 12lb |
Maiden chaser last won in November 2022; went close in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last month off 104; pulled up over hurdles at Galway latest; likely up against it in this company. |

Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix. |

Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his eighth win when scoring over 2m on AW in March; poor run at Bellewstown last time but that was only a day after being placed at Dundalk; goes well at Ballinrobe and this track isn't dissimilar. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Triple hurdle winner but his last success was in 2023 and he was well held at Taunton last Saturday; now returns to the Flat for the first time in 16 months and he's 1-24 in this sphere; opposable. |

0-18 over hurdles, placed only once, hard to fancy on chase debut at the age of nine; the only slight positive is that her best hurdles run was when third in a handicap at this venue two seasons ago. |
