5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
10st 1lb |
Sole success at Listowel (2m6f, soft) in September 2024 off 7lb lower; only run four times since, all handicap chases, and off the track since a 31l defeat at Killarney in July 2025; has ability but might need this run. |

Off the mark over timber last year; getting better with each chase run this season and was only beaten 2l over this trip at Tipperary last time; big player from 2lb higher with untapped potential in this sphere. |

One of two runners for yard; promising effort when second on sole start in point-to-points at Tralee; fresh and refused to settle when fading after racing prominently on first run for over two years in a 2m4f Listowel maiden hurdle 65 days ago; could improve for that run but will need to. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

First reserve; three hurdle wins have been at Limerick but also won 2m5f handicap chase here last summer; absent since pulled up over fences at Limerick's Christmas meeting so may need this. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Has been running over fences, exploiting an initially favourable mark (84); handed an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded after a mistake at the last at Listowel; won again at Galway, scoring by 5l to earn promotion to 104; sound prospects now off just 5lb higher than winning 2m5f event here 12 months ago. |

Hit by an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded into after a mistake at the last at Listowel, not beaten far in fifth, so should not be ruled out. |

Ran creditably in handicaps at Wexford and Listowel last year when trained by Declan Queally; pulled up on her final start for her former trainer; fading when unseating two out at Limerick in March on first run for this stable. |

0-9 for Declan Queally, running creditably in handicaps at Wexford and Listowel (2m6f) late last summer; needs to improve on first start for new yard to play a major role. |
