25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark. |

Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

Out of form in December when last seen over hurdles but looked back in good nick when winning on AW in February and is 5lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in March 2025; interesting. |

Returns to chasing here after failing to exploit his lower hurdles mark in handicaps at Punchestown and Fairyhouse, warm favourite on the second occasion; winner and twice runner-up in a three-race campaign over fences last season; trip-versatile, but probably best over further than this. |
5/1 |

Useful handicap chaser, beaten a neck off a mark of 130 here last April; returned last month off 21lb lower hurdles mark when staying on late to chase home ready winner Lough Nigara over 2m6f at Punchestown on soft-to-heavy; 6lb better off with that rival here. |

Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |
