Won twice last year including a 1m1f handicap at this track; later finished a fine fourth in a 1m2f Listed race; returned to action with a career-best effort under a big weight in the Irish Lincoln; this trip might be a bit short but is still a major player. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive handicapper this year, winning premier handicap over C&D in June and won at Gowran last month over same trip; well-backed but didn't seem to stay (keen) in 1m6f Ebor on latest when cheekpieces tried (now left off); upped in grade here and needs to improve. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; narrow win at the Curragh in June and he's continued the good work with his never-nearer fourth of 18 at the Galway festival and a more decisive win at Gowran Park ten days ago; they were all over about 1m4f (unraced beyond that on Flat) but 1m6f makes appeal and first-time cheekpieces might sharpen him up, including in the early stages; better is needed under his penalty but he's one to consider. |

Had been jumping before returning to the Flat with a narrow 1m4f win at the Curragh in June; gave a solid display off revised mark when fourth of 18 over the same trip in a valuable Galway festival event. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
Eight-time Flat winner (all turf wins on soft or worse); small signs of promise five hurdle runs; took third in a Musselburgh maiden hurdle in November (2m, good to soft) but last of 16 on handicap debut at Naas (2m, soft to heavy) when last seen in this sphere; recent Flat runs have been middling. |

Six-time winner on turf (including a premier handicap here over 1m in November off 10lb lower); sixth in Irish Lincoln on return when 1lb wrong; race possibly came too soon when below that level over same C&D six days ago. |

Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

Has struggled in eight starts since winning a 1m1f Listowel handicap last autumn; rated 85 after that success, now 15lb lower but even so can be given a chance at these weights; good 7lb claimer aboard. |
