11st 10lb |
Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 182y |
11st 11lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

Sole success for this yard came in Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2024; fine effort at big odds over C&D after long layoff in January when fourth to Voice Of Reason but unable to back that up in two subsequent starts; new headgear. |

11st 2lb |
Seven career wins capped by 2m1f Listed handicap chase win at Fairyhouse last November; recent Kilbeggan runs over longer trips well below best, but yard has returned to form so could improve for this drop in trip, although yard have a more obvious contender in Gaelic Arc. |

Seven career wins but unable to make any impression behind Native Speaker at Ballinrobe or over 2m4f here last time; needs to up his game. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Very capable performer on his day over hurdles and fences; 3-19 in this sphere; soundly beaten in Mayo National latest but this shorter trip should be more his bag and is just 3lb above last win; not discounted but lots of rain would be a worry. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |

2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
11st 2lb |
Better chaser than hurdler with 2m4f handicap wins last season at Punchestown and Gowran (soft); below best this term over both hurdles and fences, mildly more encouraging run in first-time cheekpieces at Gowran last time; headgear retained for return to fences but others preferred at this trip. |
9/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

Better chaser than hurdler with two wins from eight chase starts; well beaten in four runs since handicap chase win here in February 2025; well-backed when well beaten on last hurdle start at Clonmel in January; cheekpieces. |

11st 12lb |
Showed potential here and at Ballinrobe in his first two maiden hurdles; never figured when 125-1 for his return to action at Navan but he might have needed that run; he'd have an each-way chance if repeating the form of his first two efforts. |

Winner of Tramore beginners chase (2m5f, soft); bounced back after a couple of underwhelming runs when beaten a neck off 2lb lower mark at Tramore two starts ago; probably did too much too soon at same track lto; one of the more likely contenders; stays this trip. |
