Won over 2m1f at Wexford a year ago; poor over fences lately but has a chance on best hurdle form; this trip is a question. |

1st Jan 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Long standing, dual-purpose maiden; 0-23 over hurdles but has run well on multiple occasions, including here over 2m off this mark; out of his depth in a Grade 3 when falling on latest; this more suitable and while he is hard to win with, he has each-way claims. |

Placed at up to 2m3f in handicaps in recent seasons, including twice at this track; back from winter break when modest third in Stradbally maiden point-to-point last month; takes a big drop in trip after a poor run over 3m at Cork. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |

Veteran mare with two wins to her name over hurdles; hasn't cut much ice in three tries over fences; beaten 23l on return from a break over hurdles at Roscommon last time (2m, good); others make more appeal. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; ran poorly at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-21 over hurdles but was clear second to a progressive rival on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) two starts ago and has good claims if judged on that. |
7/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

Course winner in October 2024 at 20.5f off 91; added a 3m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (gd-yld) in April 2025 off 10lb higher; has held form pretty well off revised mark since and return to this venue and better ground both positives; player. |

Two-time winner at 2m4f-3m; has run well on two of last three starts, including a 6.5l second here (3m1f, sft-hvy) in December; should be staying on at the finish at this trip; place shout at least. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
7yo who showed improvement to win a handicap chase at Navan (2m1f, soft to heavy) last month and again ran well when 10l second of 12 at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) a fortnight ago behind a well-backed winner; 2lb wrong at the weights today but this Irish challenger could have more to offer and is respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdles winner is proving a better chaser, winning 2m2f Limerick novice and most recently career-best in landing 2m1f Navan handicap last month (soft-to-heavy) under today's rider; bit to find with Jigoro on earlier Gowran running but progressing and can be involved off 5lb higher. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Limerick over Christmas in a novice contest (2m2f, soft to heavy); solid second over hurdles at Naas following that but poor next time; returned to fences at Gowran last time when weakened into an 8.25l fifth (2m, heavy); others preferred. |

Reserve; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but was disappointing when last seen in this sphere at Cheltenham last autumn when wore a hood; however, has improved plenty over fences since and ran a cracker in an Aintree Grade 3 last time; 4lb out of the handicap but hurdles mark is 14lb lower than chase one; check the market if getting a run. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Irish 7yo who was successful last August/November in first two chase attempts, including at Kempton (3m, good); something to prove in this scenario, having posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps on last two starts, but in excellent hands and may yet resume improvement; not written off. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; this is a much deeper race than the one he won by more than 4l over C&D in November (good; effective on softer) but unwise to read too much into his subsequent defeats in Ireland that were at about 2m; a 7lb higher mark than for that last win could count, however. |

No wins in 14 under rules and he was 0-3 in points; placed here earlier in the year but for current yard he's been pulled up over hurdles and finished last on the Flat. |
