Flat winner on AW placed on three of six attempts hurdling, including 2m1f maiden here last summer; absent since never featuring in Leopardstown handicap at Christmas but has run well fresh and has the form to feature. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |

Sole win over hurdles came in a 2m4f Clonmel handicap last June off 111; some fair efforts in defeat since; fourth in a Clonmel claimer in February; has a squeak if back to best. |

Decent first effort when a solid third in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in October; failed to match that at Down Royal the following month; tongue-tie tried here in a more winnable contest and well worth a market check. |

Favourite (odds-on for debut) when disappointing in two points in the spring; much better when a long-priced third behind the promising Minella Sixo at Fairyhouse on his hurdling debut |

Dual hurdle winner was just denied in a Naas handicap two starts back; then ran a solid race in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; looks the yard's first-string but needs more. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Second here (on good) early as novice but tailed off in the Martin Pipe last March; better over this sort of trip and surged back to form when a close second to Melbourne Shamrock in the Naas qualifier (2m7f, heavy) 18 days ago in a second-time visor, staying on strongly from off pace; requires better to justify this British mark but needs a second look for trainer who's done well in this race. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |

Two wins last term on good ground included 2m6f Thurles novice; never sighted on Fairyhouse comeback but did fare a bit better early this month at DRF on unsuitably heavy ground; ground concerns remain. |

Now 0-10 over hurdles but ran well before fading into third at Navan in December (3m1f, soft to heavy); failed to back that up when tailed off at Ayr; this trip looks a bit short; cheekpieces. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 80y |

Showed some ability in bumpers last year without winning; hasn't really kicked on over hurdles but was keeping on over 2m7f at Killarney last time; this trip should suit and can be a player. |

Dual-purpose maiden ran a solid race on the Flat at Down Royal last time; beaten 15l on handicap hurdle debut at Punchestown in January but could improve on that on this better ground. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 11lb |
Well-backed on seasonal return but failed to fire at Fairyhouse 45 days ago (1m, good); is 1lb lower since being beaten a short head at Gowran last August (1m1f, good to firm); may come on from last run but needs more. |

Maiden was third in consecutive handicaps over 2m1f at Wexford in July but has been below that level twice since, including at Gowran last week; needs more. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt. |

11st 12lb |
Midfield finishes in three maiden hurdle starts against quality winners; returned from a break when eighth of 13 on handicap debut two weeks ago; conditional rider now takes 7lb off his back and he may be capable of improving enough to be on the premises in an ordinary maiden. |
