6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 147y |
11st 11lb |
1-14 over hurdles but disappointed at Ballinrobe in that sphere last time out; previously ran a nice race at Bellewstown over 2m4f on good ground; not a bad run on chase debut at Downpatrick in June where 2m7f trip probably stretched him; cheekpieces on for handicap chase debut; probably best watched today unless the money comes. |

Won at Punchestown and a cracking run at Bellewstown last time after his chasing debut; should be a big player off 2lb higher. |

Was regressive over hurdles and fences in the spring and has to return to his best with a visor replacing other headgear. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 9lb |
Winner of a 2m5f Roscommon handicap hurdle in 2024 off 92; okay efforts in his opening two runs this season but recent runs are below that level; this is just his second chase start, with his only other seeing him tailed off at Clonmel in a 2024 handicap. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 180y |

A record of 1-11 over hurdles, with that win coming at Roscommon in September (2m5f, yielding) in first-time blinkers off 92; made a pleasing seasonal debut at Punchestown and a 6l sixth at Limerick was satisfactory (2m6f, soft to heavy); disappointed at Fairyhouse last time; in the mix if bouncing back. |

Fourth in this last year before winning handicaps at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) and Down Royal (3m, good to firm); pulled up on seasonal return at Clonmel in June (2m7f, good) but much more promising was her 8l third of 18 at Limerick last time (2m7f, good), despite making a bad mistake; interesting. |

11st 7lb |
0-13 under rules but made a bright start to chasing when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April following his third wind op; absence since is a slight concern, but otherwise he should not be far away. |

Placed twice at up to 2m4f on slow ground over hurdles; below par when last seen in that sphere at Warwick last December; has since had wind surgery and is on a competitive mark if he is able to produce his best on his chase debut. |

Veteran is a four-time chase winner (including over C&D) but hasn't won since 2024 and badly out of form when last seen at Killarney in October; entitled to need this and best watched. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on stable debut at Thirsk (1m6f) last month and he went close over 2m here two weeks later; held in 9l third when returned to hurdling (2m4f) last time but that was a fair effort and he's respected back in this sphere; has set the pace in his last two Flat runs and he's versatile ground-wise. |

1-16 over hurdles and lost his way in this discipline when trained in Ireland; however, he's back on track for new yard having finished first and second in 1m6f/2m Flat handicaps this month; could be on a handy mark back over jumps. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Lost his way in Ireland last year as a hurdler but, having first Flat run since June 2023, made a winning start from the front for new yard in handicap at Thirsk (1m6f, good to firm) 15 days ago; the big outsider of five that day and dictated a slow pace, but he's gone back up by just 2lb and the return to 2m may well suit him; major player in bid to win a second time under Millie Wonnacott. |
