23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |
11st 2lb |
Got his head back in front over timber last month but struggled in a couple of chase starts earlier this season; 7lb lower chase mark to work with at least. |

11st 9lb |
Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last summer (2m6f, good); not at the same level in four runs this year, finished 9l behind at Sligo most recently; needs to come back to form but top lady rider aboard. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Bumper winner placed in three maiden hurdles at 16.5f-2m6f on good and soft ground for Willie Mullins, including a 4.25l third here (16.5f, yielding) behind a now 128 rated chaser; market should reveal plenty on stable and handicap debut after a 306 day absence. |

15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 185y |
10st 13lb |
0-5 over hurdles and rated 98; best efforts in maidens have come on good ground over this C&D but has a lot to find and produced another tame effort on handicap debut at Sligo on Sunday; others preferred. |
25/1 |

13th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 146y |
11st 0lb |
0-6 in points but has shown ability in a few of his starts under rules; however, was tailed off at Ballinrobe last time out and probably needs improvement to defy this mark; return to further will help at least. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 7lb |
0-10 over timber but has placed six times in maiden hurdles; sole handicap start came at Musselburgh in February and was soundly beaten; similar outcome in Tramore maiden hurdle latest; others appeal more. |
22/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Rated 106; has placed in six of his nine starts over hurdles; soundly beaten on handicap debut after a layoff at Musselburgh latest; will strip fitter now but more needed back in a maiden in first-time cheekpieces. |
9/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Irish maiden who has plenty of placed form but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since November 2024; market may prove best guide to expectations; handicap debut. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 11lb |
Second for this rider when favourite for this race last season and a C&D winner for her last November; kept ticking over with a cross-country run and a hurdles outing in February; strong chance. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Won a handicap chase here (21.5f, yld-sft) off 107 in November; well beaten off revised mark in a Leopardstown handicap chase (24.5f, yielding) and midfield over the banks at Punchestown (3m1f, sft-hvy) last time; testing ground a concern on return to hurdling and 1lb wrong. |

0-8 in point-to-points and 0-6 under Rules in bumpers and hurdles; decent second on latest at Castletown-Geoghegan (3m, good) earlier this month; tongue-tie and cheekpieces go on; may need better ground. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
Fourth of 20 over hurdles on his penultimate start before a lesser show here over 2m6f; didn't run well in his last handicap chase either so not hard to have some reservations. |

15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 185y |

Point-to-point winner yet to score under Rules; solid fourth at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld) on latest; nudged up 1lb for that and drops in trip; claims if he can back that up but that's not guaranteed. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Won his third hurdle race when scoring at Bellewstown over this trip last month; was pulled-up at Kilbeggan since so has questions to answer now. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 154y |

Three-time winner this season, the latest coming at Bellewstown last time off 6lb lower (3m, yielding); in and out form, so not certain to back up his win. |

Half-brother to bumper winner Paddy The Wire; dam failed to complete in points, sister to useful bumper/2m hurdle/3m chase winner Augherskea and 2m5f chase winner Castletown; likely best watched. |
