11st 4lb |
Two-time hurdles winner is 0-7 over fences; fine effort in the Blazers when a 1.5l second off 1lb lower on penultimate; left Henry De Bromhead after a 7.5l second in a Killarney beginners' (sweated up in prelims); not discounted on debut for new yard. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Easily won four-runner contest at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) on stable/chase debut in January but was probably fortunate that day and not much has gone to plan since; never competitive after early jumping errors over the big Aintree fences last month and arrives here with a bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Capitalised on the favourite falling three out to win in small field at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January on stable debut and pulled up/well beaten on both runs since; hard to fancy on the face of it but his yard has an excellent record in this race over the years, so he's not a forlorn hope. |

Ex-Irish 8yo; won two-finisher contest on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but struggled to land a blow at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) last month; now sports cheekpieces; others have more persuasive profiles. |

Step forward after long layoff on stable debut at Roscommon (15.5f, gd-yld), keeping on for a 14.5l fourth of 16; should come on for that and worth another go at this trip on that evidence; could go well off the same mark. |

A major improver since joining Emmet Mullins, winning twice over hurdles in the autumn and now arrives here on a four-timer over fences after three wins at Thurles (2m5f-3m1f); tackling a different level of opposition now but Sean Bowen rides off a feather weight and he could be dangerous. |

Former winner for Michael Hourigan is having a very fruitful season, with back-to-back good to yielding hurdle wins (2m6f/2m7f) in September/October before disappointing at 11-10 at Clonmel next time; reverted to fences at this track for back-to-back wins off a much lower chasing mark most recently; things may be more difficult now following 15lb hit for easy win last time (3m1f, yielding). |
