26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Wexford maiden hurdle (2m1f, good) winner last month; value for more than the winning margin when scoring over 1m2f on the Flat at Navan this month, short of room but powering home late; might be capable of better back over hurdles on handicap debut; 3lb wrong. |

Hurdling lately, maiden winner at Wexford last week; second to Barrogstown Girl on the Flat at Limerick two months ago; may be capable of reversing that form; prime contender. |

1-21 on the Flat, although placed on several occasions; her C&D maiden hurdle run here (good) last time wasn't too encouraging; makes handicap hurdle debut now but others make more appeal. |
14/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
11st 7lb |
Not a bad handicapper at around 1m1f/1m2f for Willie McCreery and fair form in three spins over hurdles, although tended to be too keen; picked up for 5,000euros in November; had a recent comeback run on the Flat. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (14) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |

Sole win for Willie McCreery came over 1m1f at Punchestown in 2024; some decent efforts in defeat last season and picked up for 5,000euros in November; debuts for local yard in first-time tongue-tie and market could be interesting. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Just one Flat win since 2021 but was only beaten a neck on soft by Tassarolo at Killarney last month; form knocked since and his better recent runs have come on softer ground than what's likely here. |

Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |

Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; creditable fourth of ten in 1m2f Beverley handicap (good) on Tuesday, staying on again after getting outpaced; that suggests a return to further could suit but this is a big jump in trip. |
