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 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

11st 12lb |
Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap hurdle wins at Navan and Leopardstown; soundly beaten in a good-ground handicap at Ballinrobe after six months off; any rain that falls is likely to be in his favour. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |
11st 4lb |
Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); beaten favourite in two novice hurdles in January; perhaps some doubt about how he will handle the ground. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 5lb |
Smart hurdler won four races in that sphere including in Listed company last year; pulled-up in a Grade 1 Aintree novice on return in April; quickly rebounded with a Limerick novice chase win over Le Coq Hardi and followed up at Killarney; already looks a better chaser and respected despite a double penalty. |

1st 3 |
17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Top-rated of these over hurdles (133), winning four from ten; trounced his four rivals on chasing debut at Limerick in May (2m4f, good to yielding), jumping fluently and travelling strongly; that was a very promising first run over fences and he can make it back-to-back wins despite dropping back in trip. |
5/4 |

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. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |
10st 9lb |
18-race maiden over hurdles; C&D third 13 months ago was one of her better efforts but well below that level since returning from a break, including over fences; Darragh O'Keeffe sticks with her despite a moderate Wexford run; first-time tongue-tie. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |

17-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level since returning from a break, including over fences; more needed although the rider booking is a positive. |

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. |

Maiden has been consistent in defeat on last three starts; beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; one to consider. |

250-1 maiden hurdle winner two years ago; couple of decent runs in handicaps last year but form largely inconsistent; beaten 15l into fourth at Killarney (2m1f, good) 31 days ago over hurdles, staying on reasonably well from rear; beaten 21l over C&D in May; on a nice mark but needs to put best foot forward. |
