7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Possibly value for more than the neck margin when winning at Tramore last month; only 4lb higher and is at the right end of the handicap here; every chance of getting in the mix. |

1-7 over fences, the win coming at Clonmel in January (2m, heavy); soundly beaten off revised mark twice since and handicapper slow to relent; others appeal more. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |

Showed that he was getting the hang of things over fences when second over C&D at the Christmas meeting; backed that up when justifying favouritism in heavy ground in a 2m contest at Clonmel in January; posed no threat off his revised mark at Thurles five weeks ago. |

Went closest over 2m3f at Downpatrick in April; well below that form since (refused to race once) and cheekpieces need to work. |

Locally trained; won over C&D (good) off 6lb lower when last seen in July 2025; absence since is concerning and record fresh indicates he will come on for this run. |
11/2 |

13th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 146y |
10st 8lb |
15-race maiden but one of his better recent efforts when third of 15 over 2m4f here on his penultimate outing; lesser effort at Ballinrobe last time but ran well on his sole previous effort at this sort of distance. |
18/1 |

10th 11 |
27th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 63y |
10st 9lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; 0-9 over hurdles; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 7.25l third of 15 at Sligo last time out; ran well over this C&D a year ago when a 1l second of 16 off 5lb lower; rain would be a worry, chance if it misses. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Remains a maiden but went close at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good) from 3lb lower; had the race at his mercy when a faller at Perth next time; failed to quicken when fourth at Downpatrick when sent off favourite this month but has a 13lb pull in the weights with the reopposing Mister Vic. |

Remains a maiden but nearly put that right over C&D in May when 4lb lower and had every chance when falling at Perth next time; it wasn't a bad run back there four weeks ago and he's in the mix. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |
3/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Winner of seven races including three this year; those three wins have come in handicap chases, including a 3l victory at Limerick (2m3f, yld-sft) on latest off 109; rated 103 in this sphere and 2m is fine so can't be discounted on return to hurdling. |
