9st 8lb |
Didn't fulfill the promise of his Galway debut second (hvy) when beaten 8l into fourth at Tipperary next time after racing keenly; that winner subsequently won a Group 1, so it wasn't a bad run either; needs to settle better but a big shout if doing so; yard in form. |

Little impact in four maidens; Jockey reported a tendency to hang left at Cork in his first handicap; may need further experience. |

Well beaten in four maidens and has to improve plenty even tackling handicaps off a low mark; however, yard's record necessitates a market check; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Not much promise from four runs in maidens and claimers up to 1m2f; has to do much more on handicap debut up markedly in trip; 1lb out of the handicap; hood added. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won this last year off 78 to notch his second Flat win in first-time cheekpieces; no surprise to see him leave his exceedingly moderate Gowran return behind back on good ground with the cheekpieces back on. |

9th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Decent dual-purpose sort finished second in last year's Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and two fine Flat runs on good ground in May, second at Killarney and decisive win in first-time cheekpieces over 1m6f at the Curragh off 78; 9lb higher and ground probably softer than ideal but yard in cracking form and can't be ruled out on return. |

One win apiece over hurdles and on the Flat (this trip); runner-up in the Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and two solid Flat efforts lately; needs a bit more with cheekpieces added. |

8st 12lb |
Added a third Flat win at Navan last time (1m5f, good) in a big field by a neck; had Trubshaw 5.5l behind that day; up 5lb but should remain competitive; has never raced at this track. |

Won over 1m4f at Roscommon (good) last August and added a Wexford maiden hurdle (good) ten days later; should be better for last month's run when fifth over 1m6f here, 1 3/4l behind the reopposing Earthsong. |

C&D (yielding) winner in October 2024 off 11lb lower; won again over 1m4f at Roscommon (good) last August and added a Wexford maiden hurdle (good) 10 days later; out of sorts in four runs in both codes since then and ground probably not ideal here. |

11st 5lb |
Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has been mostly over fences without success this season; posted a solid run back to hurdles over this trip at Naas last time; needs more in a stronger race. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 180y |

One of two for trainer; juvenile hurdle winner in 2024; well beaten in beginners' chase starts ; slight improvement in a Tramore novice chase last time when a 12.5l fourth of nine (2m, soft); found to have blood at both nostrils on that occasion; reverts to hurdles now. |
