15-race maiden whose best efforts have been over shorter distances; not in the best of form right now and blinkers are tried. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 147y |
10st 0lb |
0-14 under Rules, not a bad run at Limerick in May when beaten 6.5L in a 2m3f handicap chase off 77; looked a non-stayer over further the last twice and this drop back in trip should suit but it is hard to make a solid case for him. |

First reserve; yet to hit the frame in 13 career starts; best effort when sixth in a handicap chase at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; needs to find more. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a standout season, highlighted by landing Grade 3 honours at Naas in January (2m, heavy); has been found out upped to Grade 1 level twice this term, 19l behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana Hurdle (16.5f, soft to heavy) and no chance when unseated at the last in the Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft); below his best in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last time; hard to see him being involved. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Better than ever this season and has contested two Grade 1s; appreciated the drop in class when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) and this 7yo is a good bet to give his running (stays this far); very sound jumper. |
15/2 |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 190y |

Better than ever this season, winning over 2m3f at Punchestown and has run well in defeat since chasing home clear-cut winners at same venue in both Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle and when over 8l off front-running Fabiolo on New Year's Eve (2m3f); seems sure to run another solid race (running in colours of Limestone Lad). |

Chase winner bagged his second hurdling success over C&D in December off 109 at 40-1 (2m4f, soft to heavy); decent showing at Limerick next time when seventh, but his latest Gowran run was poor (2m4f, heavy). |

Chase winner over 3m2f on good ground at Down Royal in May; Kilbeggan run six days later may have come too soon for him; should be sharper as a result of recent hurdles run at Punchestown. |

Rattled in a hat-trick at Thurles at 2m5f-25.5f last winter, going up a cumulative 41lb; came up short off revised mark at Kempton (3m, gd-sft) when last seen in February; needs to resume progress after break. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
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. |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |

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). |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Off the mark chasing on tenth attempt in 2m5f Clonmel mares' beginners last month (soft) but ultimately no match for a 10l winner nine days later in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares' handicap: front-runner should run her race but vulnerable. |

Campaigned in Graded company over last 18 months; produced some strong efforts, most notably when second to Only By Night at Exeter last year and to Spindleberry at Clonmel in November; two below-par efforts over fences since but appreciated step back up in trip with good run over hurdles last time at Punchestown; course winner over hurdles has the form to win this. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie). |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
