2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 71y |
11st 0lb |
Talented over jumps; rated 137 over hurdles and a five-time winner in that sphere; has struggled in chases on last few starts and has been off since March but returns with local yard among the winners and he bolted up in a bumper here back in 2023; check the market. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Prevailed in a big field at Galway (2m6f, good) on chase debut but has failed to back up that form since and was particularly disappointing in October when bidding for a second win at the Cheltenham Showcase meeting; wears first-time headgear; less solid than others. |

Reserve; won four times (once on good here) as a novice hurdler last season before pulling up at 14-1 in the 3m Grade 1 novice event here; won chase debut at the Galway festival (2m6f) last August but chase career has gone badly the wrong way since, latest start 11 days ago; returns to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; next to no exposure in handicaps but low on the list. |

11st 10lb |
Progressive sort who seemed to relish the step up in trip at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and that form has been boosted by the runner-up winning since; won in better style than the winning margin suggested that day and there could be more to come from this point winner stepping up in trip; seemingly down the order on jockey bookings. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) in November and he's since been a respectable third in his first two handicaps (1m7f/2m, good to soft/soft); those were warm races and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

Won back-to-back hurdle races in August/September on good ground; creditable fourth at this track in May (2m1f, good) but below that at Listowel last time; makes chasing debut, but has a lot to find with a few of these. |

Has shown his best form at Clonmel, but was pulled up at that venue on his most recent start; previous fourth at Limerick was no more than satisfactory. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 2lb |
Has shown his best form here; won a C&D maiden hurdle (good to yielding) in 2024; ran respectably here (2m3f, soft) in March when an 8l second of 15; tailed off in two subsequent runs; fourth of nine at Limerick was a bit more encouraging when 2m4f was too far. |

Sole success a maiden hurdle win at Clonmel in October 2024; ran respectably back there in March (2m3f, soft) when an 8l second of 15; tailed off twice since; revival needed. |
