Off the mark (first-time cheekpieces) in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap in May off 100 but well held since, latest in similar contest in August; withdrawn over C&D last month due to good ground so may not have his ground here either and yard also have a strong contender in Goodie Girl. |

Not the easiest to predict but he bounded clear over nearly 3m at Downpatrick 22 days ago to earn this 7lb higher mark; good ground is the key to him. |

Dual hurdle winner has run well in defeat here and was running well on second chase start at Tipperary last year when making a bad mistake at the last; not easy to fancy on last two runs. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fell and tailed off in his two previous chases in late 2023; lightly raced in the meantime but returns to this discipline after three solid runs over hurdles, all handicaps from 2m1f to 2m4f; likely to go well again if he still fancies fences. |
100/30 |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |

Over four years since he won back-to-back handicap hurdles for Brian Hamilton; lightly raced in recent seasons; bounced back to form on second start for Noel Kelly when second to Kalsman over 2m4f at Down Royal last month; notched another second behind the improving Bella Union over 2m1f at Down Royal on latest; may go one better now. |

Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |

Dual hurdles winner in 2024, the second of them coming over this C&D (soft); has improved with each of her three runs this year and was a 6.5l third of ten at Listowel last time (3m, good to yielding); didn't travel with much verve that day but her mark is falling. |

0-20 at the age of nine, but broke a poor run of form back from a break when runner-up over 3m at Bellewstown in April (yielding); pulled up next time and was beaten 24l on his chasing debut at Downpatrick in a beginners' last time; others make more appeal. |

Remains a maiden at the age of nine (0-18); broke a poor run of form back from a break at Bellewstown (3m, yielding) last month when a 1.5l runner-up; that was one of his best runs and chance if backing it up. |

Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts. |

Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland but on a losing run now and, although he ran better when third of four finishers at Exeter recently than he had on his yard debut there, a few more pounds off his back wouldn't go amiss. |

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing. |
