Five-time winner including over hurdles in America 12 months ago, not long after opening her chase account at Galway; out of her depth in a Grade 2 chase at Punchestown festival; had a run over hurdles before 12l second to The Banger Doyle on handicap debut at Cork. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Pulled up in the Ulster National (3m4f, soft) in March but he was runner-up in two chase handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f/2m7f) before that; now returns to hurdling but he's 3-8 in this sphere and is on a dangerous mark on this drop back in trip and grade; one to keep an eye on. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 12lb |
Mixed form in 2025; ran his best race for a long time when going close at Musselburgh on New Year's Day (2m4f, good to soft); again finished second over 2m7f at that venue last time; main positive is his good record at this venue, two wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) and a second from four visits. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |

Mixed form in 2025 but ran his best race for a long time when going close here (2m4f, good to soft) under Dylan Kidd on New Year's Day; kept on strongly last time and he's run well on soft ground in the past; could be a player now back up in trip if backing up that latest performance. |

Made no significant progress after last autumn's winning hurdle debut but returned from break with two encouraging chase runs this autumn (behind Rexem on first occasion) and has each-way claims here. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

11th Sep 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 54y |

Lost his way over hurdles after Down Royal win 15 months ago; needs to provide reassurance and the filly Calico looks a more likely contender for the stable. |

12th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 154y |

Won off 113 on handicap debut at Down Royal last year (2m4f, good) and effectively off same mark with Gilligan's valuable claim; hasn't gone on from that win and early casualty after long absence in same Down Royal heat but folly to rule out given form of yard/jockey. |
