Best run when beaten 23l in a Thurles maiden hurdle for Emmet Mullins; well beaten on two starts for this yard; hopes rest on step up in trip on handicap debut but best to look elsewhere. |

Point winner was second in a Cork hunter chase and decent, though lesser, efforts in two maiden hurdles since; tongue-tie worn last time dispensed with; needs more. |

0-11 over hurdles and hasn't shown enough on his last couple of starts; difficult to make a case for on recent form; declared to run in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan on Saturday. |

Best run was his debut when competitive at his late point of departure in a Bellewstown maiden; given a lot to do when seventh at Downpatrick last time (16l off the winner); couldn't dismiss. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |

Won Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (3m2f, yielding) in January and was in contention over the same trip when falling four out over fences at Down Royal last time; raised 4lb for that. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
10st 11lb |
Sprang a surprise at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) on New Year's Day when returning from a 294-day absence to win comfortably at 40-1 over hurdles; had shown little in his eight previous outings, including when pulled up on only start over fences; form of those in behind bolsters his win; runs off winning mark and he will win if he can back it up now chasing. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |
14/1 |

5th 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Encouraging efforts in Ireland but she's sliding down the weights for good reason; heavy ground perhaps not ideal last time but has enough to prove. |

Showed ability in Ireland but she was a well-beaten eighth in her first two handicaps and was soundly beaten when falling at the final flight last time; needs to raise her game in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Signed off for Stuart Crawford in Ireland with point win in October (yielding ground); well beaten in maiden hurdle for new stable last month, but remains unexposed under rules and is well worth a glance in the betting before this chase/handicap debut. |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Added a second hurdling win at Downpatrick last June off 2lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft), but recent runs had gotten progressively worse until return to form of sorts at Bellewstown last month when an 8.5l third (2m1f, yielding). |

Dual winning hurdler, with the latest win coming at Downpatrick last June off 3lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft); good second at Navan in September (2m, soft to heavy) but performances have become progressively worse since and beaten 30l at Naas last time (2m3f, heavy). |
