7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
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 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 55y |
11st 13lb |
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. |

Point winner, 0-15 over hurdles; has three handicaps seconds to her name; makes little appeal in a maiden at the age of 11. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Point-to-point winner is 0-14 over hurdles, pick being second in C&D handicap last season; not so good over 3m of late, drop back in trip to suit but hard to fancy back in maiden company. |

Pulled up in three of his last four races; beaten 20l when second at Limerick on penultimate start; seems risky. |

Won a chase at Limerick in 2023 but 0-13 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; cheekpieces go on after a moderate run over fences at Clonmel on latest; 4lb lower in this sphere but others appeal more. |

Given a very positive ride by Carl Millar when winning on first start for new yard at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in June; given too much to do when respectable fourth at that venue last time from 6lb higher; he has won around here in the past and Millar is back aboard now; big player. |
