14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not beaten far at Market Rasen in July (first-time visor) and he was keeping on in second when brought down at the last here (2m2f, good to soft) in October; heavy defeat when last seen in December but it's still fairly early days and he's not dismissed on this return. |

0-4 over fences but posted a couple of respectable efforts in new visor this summer (2m1f/2m) and ran considerably better than eventual 31l defeat suggests at Stratford (2m3f, good) this month; drops back in trip here; place claims. |

Unable to win any of her 16 races over hurdles but did have some placed form and she's bred to make a chaser. |

0-10 under Rules; best run came in a maiden hurdle at this track when beat just over 4L (RPR 90); cheekpieces added to tongue tie after a poor effort off 98 in a handicap hurdle last time; unlikely to be good enough on chasing debut. |

Maiden has shown a couple of flickers of ability, including in a chase here over 2m2f last September; however, not a lot to shout about in two runs in 2025; others hold more pressing claims. |

Unlikely that he gave his running when tailed off in his previous handicap and made the frame in a maiden here in October (final run); does have his stamina to prove over this far and now goes in cheekpieces. |

Best of his three efforts came when fifth of 16 in a maiden hurdle at Cork earlier this month (In The Trenches runner-up); no obvious reason why he'll reverse the form here. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 95y |
10st 13lb |
Some decent form in bumpers last year without winning; failed to justify 5-4 favouritism when a 5l second at Downpatrick on hurdles debut in August (2m2f, good); repaid the faithful at Killarney earlier this month when a comfortable winner (2m1f, yielding); makes handicap debut now and is a leading contender. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Some promise in two maiden hurdle starts before successive runner-up finishes in good quality mares' bumpers last winter (2.5l behind decent Carrigmoornaspruce in one); below her best in Roscommon bumper latest; back over hurdles now and good chance if back to form (yard going well). |

Battled to gain a first win when successful over hurdles at Limerick in December off 84 (2m6f, soft to heavy); tailed off at Punchestown next time; bounced back when runner-up back at Limerick last time (2m7f, heavy), had Mickey Hulie 17l behind in third that day; best form on softer. |
