13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won 2m4f Down Royal maiden and better form in defeat in a couple of Cork novices' over today's trip; never landed a blow however on handicap debut at Navan last month in albeit much better race; down in class here so not one to rule out. |

Won a Down Royal maiden hurdle in September and two fine runs in novice company since; well-held in a Grade 3 over 2m4f here last time and will have to improve upon that even dropped in class. |

Well-bred Flat winner is yet to score over obstacles; well beaten over hurdles four days ago and fell on chase debut previous run; needs his best to get involved. |

Ran well off 103 at 2024 Galway festival; off the bridle from early when plugging on for third at Wexford (2m4f) in October; poor since; should enjoy the ground, but might find trip a bit sharp. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |
12st 0lb |
0-11 over hurdles but placed six times in maidens; soundly beaten in opening handicap run at Musselburgh and similar story back in maiden company at Tramore; tailed off in a Ballinrobe handicap in May (2m6f, good); blinkers go on now but others appeal more. |

Rated 106; has placed in six of his nine starts over hurdles; soundly beaten on handicap debut after a layoff at Musselburgh latest; will strip fitter now but more needed back in a maiden in first-time cheekpieces. |

Improved with each run and was only beaten roughly 4l when returned to a bumper at Listowel in September; more required here and different ground but going the right way at least; off 131 days. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner here (2m7f, good) last August for previous yard but he's had a rocky ride for this one, including on last two chase starts (the latest following wind surgery); hard to be confident of a revival. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
On the same mark as when winning over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer, ridden by James King; shaped as though the run was needed in March on return from an absence, before finishing a well-beaten second of three on chase debut the following month; has since undergone wind surgery and retains potential over fences. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Only 3lb higher than the mark he won off over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer and he's a dual point winner who should make a chaser; below par last time but after quite a break. |

Flat winner in UK and has won twice over hurdles at 2m4f for this yard; won on chasing debut at this track over 2m4f in 2024 but fell on only chase run since; poor on Flat and hurdles last two runs, but not dismissed. |
