16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner has been below his best the last twice but has run well in defeat at this track and his yard is in form so he can't be ruled out. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 8lb |
Two handicap chase wins, including over C&D in July 2024; fine comeback run after 16 months' absence at Leopardstown when a staying-on third behind Harbour Highway over 2m6f (yielding); ground may been too testing at Limerick more recently. |

Two handicap chase wins include over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in summer of 2024; fine comeback run after 16 months' absence at Leopardstown recently when staying-on third over 2m6f (yielding) without his usual cheekpieces; big player if backing that up. |

Won a beginners' in 2024, but held in handicaps last year; marksman has given him a chance, but it's his first run since December. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |

Entitled to come on for his recent run at Gowran but so too is Ballybawn Belter who was ahead of him that day; also has others to worry about. |

10st 10lb |
Without a win for two years, but right back to form on his last two starts, especially when second wearing this headgear over 2m2f at Downpatrick last month; solid claims once more. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 8lb |
Six-time winner over hurdles and fences; somewhat in and out this year but was very much on a going day when narrowly beaten in a 1m7f handicap chase at Tramore last time; stable does well here and a clear chance if he can reproduce that; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
12st 0lb |
Six-time winner, including over C&D in a novice chase two years ago; form has been in and out over the last 12 months but best effort in that time came over C&D when 4.25l second off 4lb higher in May; below form last twice, pulled up at Wexford 47 days ago; on a good mark if return to this track sparks him up again. |

Dual hurdle winner ran well in a Wexford beginners in July but has been below form in handicaps on last two starts (struck into last time); looks yard second-string today. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 195y |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner in 2022; two of three recent chase runs were here including faller in strong beginners; better form when fourth in Wexford beginners over this trip latest; handicap chase debut off 4lb higher than hurdles mark seems tough but unexposed. |

Infrequent winner but stays well; won three-miler at Perth last year; twice placed back there this summer and 7lb off will help. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Irish raider; not one to rely upon heavily but won over C&D last summer and was placed over C&D (also on good) last month; didn't run badly in a subsequent chase; major player if on a going day. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 9lb |
Ended a barren spell when pouncing late at Perth in 2025 over hurdles (3m, good); best run of the season came in the same race last time when a 1.75l third of 11; 1-27 in chases, but this is just his second attempt in this low grade. |

Second runner for yard; course hurdle winner won at Gowran in January and ran well here last time; was poor when last seen over fences though, so questions to answer in that respect. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 92y |

Winner of ten races; off for almost a year before his return at Listowel last month; should be better for the outing; younger horses preferred. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles/fences, most recently 2m2f Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April 2025; not seen since yard debut fourth of seven in Killarney handicap chase in October so perhaps best watched. |
25/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 5y |
11st 5lb |
Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |
18/1 |
