Won over 1m on heavy last year but little form of note since, both runs this year over longer trips; blinkers now tried back at best trip but ground a concern. |

9st 8lb |
Bagged back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Gowran in October last year on softer conditions; back to form at Gowran on heavy ground when reeled in late last time (1m, heavy); 4lb hike for last run seems harsh but cheekpieces on now and can go well. |

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. |

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. |

9st 9lb |
Mare is reportedly in foal; got off the mark in a 1m2f Fairyhouse handicap before a solid run at Leopardstown over a furlong shorter; raced keenly then so will have to settle over this longer trip but certainly in the mix. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Fairyhouse last week under a positive ride off a career-low mark; in-foal filly makes a quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty (upped 8lb in future) and has to be respected, despite a high draw. |

Sole win came here last September (1m5f, good) but numerous placings include this term at Sligo; not much luck in running at Leopardstown on latest so remains of interest, especially given his record here. |

1-28 record is a concern; compiled a sequence of seconds; placed seven times in all, including at Sligo 12 days ago; senior rider aboard, with a very capable apprentice on the stable's other runner Eastern Wind; hard to be sure which one will prove best. |

Decent performer over this kind of trip; had four seconds (three for this rider) and a win last year and he's had a spin over hurdles to warm up; ground doesn't matter to him and should be thereabouts. |
