Two hurdle wins; beaten a long way in two handicap chases during the summer; addition of blinkers seemed to do the trick when second to today's rival The Striker Dylan at Sligo; would have gone closer but for interference; should be in the mix again. |

Off the mark in a Gowran handicap hurdle in October last year (2m, good); has been disappointing in four runs since, evenly spread between Flat and hurdles; reported to have burst a blood vessel at Cork in August when pulled up; remains 4lb above last winning mark. |

Is 1-18 but that win came back in 2021; placed at Limerick and Roscommon earlier this season but her last two runs, over hurdles and on the Flat, have not been as good and she needs a revival; blinkers go back on. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Point winner who scored over fences at Newcastle (about 3m, good to soft) in March and made all over C&D (good) last month; had Blazing Court, Path Of Stars and Judicial Review close behind that day but a 2lb nudge is no reason to dismiss him. |

One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features. |
