2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 10lb |
All three wins came on soft over shorter trips; has looked in the handicapper's grasp over both hurdles and fences of late; cheekpieces now tried. |

11st 2lb |
Very useful handicap hurdler on his day but yet to make any further progress over fences since winning Listowel beginners' chase last season; went close at Perth last time, faces a much harder task in a handicap of this standard. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
11st 4lb |
Exploited lower hurdles mark at Galway (2m6f, yielding) in October; struggled in the Troytown Chase when last seen but remains 8lb below his chase mark so can't be dismissed on ground he handles. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 200y |
10st 10lb |
2m4f maiden hurdle winner got off the mark over fences when easily winning a beginners' chase at this meeting last year; following month well held in Grade 2 novice at Punchestown and has been absent since; potentially interesting back hurdling off 15lb lower mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still to score over fences and has been pulled up in 3m handicap chases at Hexham on his last two runs; tried in different headgear. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and he's struggled on his last two starts; however, first-time cheekpieces had a positive impact when he was second off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) last November, so perhaps today's first-time blinkers and tongue-tie will give him a boost. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to score over hurdles or fences for his current yard and comes here having been well below par on last two starts, only tenth in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase in December; lots more is needed after a break. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Irish raider who won a small-field beginners' chase comfortably at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) last month and was not disgraced in a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the recent Galway festival; still unexposed over fences; commands respect. |
4/5 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 9lb |
In fine form over fences and hurdles; has won two of his last four starts, a conditions hurdle at Down Royal and a beginners' chase on latest at Kilbeggan; decent efforts in handicaps at Haydock and Kilbeggan sandwiched between those wins; needs a little bit more off current mark. |
12/1 |

11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 133 over hurdles, most recent win coming in 3m Down Royal conditions event in May (good) and solid efforts since back in handicaps; ran twice over fences last year, faller four out at Listowel on second occasion when lying in second; in good heart and one to consider if taking to fences a second time around. |
