14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
3-5 as a novice hurdler last season; absent since encouraging third of seven on reappearance outing at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November but could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |

Won bumper in sole Irish start; steady progress in his first three hurdle races brought two wins, making all at Fontwell (2m2f, soft) on last occasion, but he made a disappointing handicap debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) on latest outing. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Won a maiden hurdle over 2m5f here in May and two decent efforts in defeat since, notably at Downpatrick last time; carries top-weight but this is only her fourth hurdle start so could improve further and yard is in good form so a big player. |

15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 8lb |
Rated 114; won a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, gd-yld) on penultimate; not as good on latest in a mares' hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good); the step back up in trip is a plus so she could rebound. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |
10st 8lb |
Now 0-10 over hurdles but ran well before fading into third at Navan in December (3m1f, soft to heavy); failed to back that up when tailed off at Ayr; this trip looks a bit short; cheekpieces. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 80y |

Showed some ability in bumpers last year without winning; hasn't really kicked on over hurdles but was keeping on over 2m7f at Killarney last time; this trip should suit and can be a player. |

Came back from a long layoff to start the campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); attempted to make all in a race of this type at Cork but was found wanting after a mistake two out; fitted with cheekpieces now. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary in May last year; secured fourth hurdles win at Listed level here in October (2m5f, yielding); Grade 1 level proved a bridge too far at Aintree last month; top-rated of these over hurdles; definite chance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary last May, last time securing a fourth career win at Listed level at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) in October; has earned his right to a crack at something better but this might be a step too far, especially with stamina to prove. |

Second runner for in-form yard; improving sort was a course winner over 2m3f in May and won his third race of the season in a 2m4f Listowel handicap last time; needs more again today but might not be far away. |

Hasn't troubled the judge in handicaps but bit more encouraging at Limerick on latest although didn't seem to quite stay 2m3f; drop back in trip to suit and not one to rule out. |

Shock Listowel maiden hurdle winner in August 2024; hasn't come close to replicating that form since and leap of faith required to fancy him on his chase debut; 3lb wrong. |

Yet to really threaten in handicaps since his shock Listowel maiden hurdle win in September 2024; okay Down Royal effort at Christmas but pulled up there when last seen; hard to see him winning. |
