Three wins over hurdles; placed in six consecutive attempts over fences between May 2024 and March 2025; fine second in Listed novice handicap chase at Navan in March; had a possible excuse (skin scrapes) when beaten favourite at Kilbeggan in June; trip-versatile. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won at Down Royal last time in a tongue-tie, his second win over hurdles; 7lb rise looks plenty but still respected; handles soft so could be fine on this ground. |

Good ground Sligo winner in June 2024 off 3lb lower; lightly raced since, didn't get beyond the first at Navan last time; tongue-tie now tried, hard to be confident in. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 6lb |
Novice chase winner at Tramore (2m, good to yielding); would have gone close if not hampered at Tipperary on handicap debut following that; returned to Tramore for another win last time over the same trip and ground; up 5lb now but the new trip may unlock more improvement after he has shown some signs of stamina in his runs. |

30th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Four-time hurdles winner and off the mark over fences at second attempt in C&D novice last month when making all; likely would have gone closer but for being hampered when third in Tipperary handicap latest so potential remains off this mark. |

2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

11st 7lb |
Tramore maiden hurdle winner in late 2023 and best of two recent runs over fences came at same venue last month when rallying third (In The Trenches fifth) in 2m novice handicap chase; could be capable of better over fences so one to consider. |
11/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

4th 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden hurdle winner at Tramore November 2023 before good third in Cheltenham novice hurdle; few below-par efforts after but ran okay when sixth in a strong handicap hurdle at Thurles when last seen; off 431 days since but has the form to go close if ready on chase debut; one of two for a trainer in form. |

Dual hurdles winner in 2022; two of three recent chase runs were here including faller in strong beginners; better form when fourth in Wexford beginners over this trip latest; handicap chase debut off 4lb higher than hurdles mark seems tough but unexposed. |
