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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Better round of jumping in taking a 2m6f Limerick handicap last month (good), and his subsequent Punchestown second off 5lb higher (3m1f, good to yielding) is stronger form still; more on here off topweight but retains lowish mileage for his age; chance. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Looked very limited until springing a 40-1 surprise at Fairyhouse over hurdles (3m2f, yielding) in January, form which has worked out well; fell four out over fences next time but made no mistake in scoring at Limerick 16 days ago, beating Cullenwaine by 0.75l; 5lb rise fine and he should relish this extra distance. |

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. |

Seven-time winner over hurdles and fences; won a Listed handicap chase over 2m1f at Fairyhouse in November, but it's been mostly downhill since; showed a spark over hurdles at Kilbeggan last time; 3lb wrong here. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
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. |

11st 2lb |
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. |

C&D maiden hurdle winner; gained second career win at Downpatrick off 3lb lower last summer; 8l behind Avalo at Punchestown in May (2m, yielding); close second to Chanceawetmorning at Clonmel later that month; 2m6f too far but still ran well latest; chance back in trip. |

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. |
