21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started 2025 with a four-timer, the last leg coming here; not at the same level of late but well treated if staging a revival. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold. |

9st 5lb |
Rattled off a four-timer on the AW at the start of the year including two wins over C&D; won over hurdles in June and capable of playing a part off this mark if producing his best. |

Two Flat wins in Britain; had struggled in handicap hurdles until much more encouraging third at Downpatrick last week under positive ride in first-time cheekpieces (despite mistake last); headgear surprisingly left off here but major player. |

Hasn't won since September 2022; no signs of the drought ending on return from break over hurdles at Tramore in April; unseated when hampered back in a chase there latest; pulled up on sole previous run at this venue; others preferred. |

Versatile 10yo with wins on flat, over hurdles and Ballinrobe handicap chase back in 2022; lightly raced of late, returning from 199-day absence when soundly beaten over hurdles here last month; bit to prove right now. |

Gained his only hurdles win in this race a year ago, making all to win easily on good ground after 200 days off; trying to repeat that feat; also ran well here a couple of times in August before form tailed off. |

Shot up the handicap after winning by 10l over 2m2f at this track in May; some decent efforts in defeat since though was below form at Galway last time; needs his best. |

30th Sep 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 7f 135y |
10st 13lb |
0-9 over hurdles; best effort to date on latest when beaten 8.5l into fourth of 11 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good); dropping back in trip a plus on the evidence of that run but different ground to deal with here; not fully discounted if she handles the conditions. |

9st 6lb |
Record of 1-9 on Flat with the win coming at Navan last June (1m6f, good) off 73; good hurdler and added a fourth win in that sphere at Killarney last time; not discounted. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Flat winner got his third hurdles win under this rider at Navan in September (2m, yielding) off 9lb lower; 1l behind Wholelotofbusiness when fourth at Down Royal in November (worse off at weights now); another positive effort when second back at Navan (2m, soft to heavy) when last seen in November. |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |

Dual-purpose; 3-15 over hurdles; scored at Navan (2m, yielding) on his last start in this sphere; raised 7lb and moves up in grade; needs a career best but the way he won at Navan suggested there could be more to come; chance. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Mixed form this season, best efforts over hurdles at Navan, winning 2m handicap and second to a progressive horse over 2m4f last time; two less encouraging runs over fences, well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when found to have blood at both nostrils; trainer won this last year. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

Six-time winner split evenly between hurdles and fences; began season with two poor runs over hurdles but returned to form when making all to land a gamble in a 2m handicap hurdle here in November (heavy); well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Poterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when last seen when found to have blood at both nostrils; chance at his best |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |

Has lost his way since scoring off 8lb lower at Downpatrick last December; rated much higher over fences but didn't show enough on return from a break at Fairyhouse to make him of interest here. |
