14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. |

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

Out of a winning sister to Derby hero Serpentine; also blinkered at the Curragh and could manage only eighth of 14 behind a well-fancied stablemate; Wayne Lordan rode that day but he's now on Light As Air. |

8st 12lb |
Curragh maiden winner (1m4f) was touched off in the Petingo at Leopardstown last time by a head (1m5f, good to yielding); up 2lb now; best form is on nice ground so a drying forecast is in his favour and the new trip may help him; towards the forefront of calculations but draw a disadvantage. |

Improving 3yo went close in 1m2f handicaps early in the season and off the mark in workmanlike fashion on latest in 1m4f Curragh maiden in July; blinkers replace cheekpieces here and could have more to offer at this trip; 1lb wrong but rider claims 5lb. |

Ordinary form in maidens at Down Royal (7f) and Thurles (1m); one for handicaps more than likely. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 44y |

Only 10-3 for a Down Royal maiden on his debut back in June, beaten roughly 6l finishing sixth of 13; didn't get an ideal trip and is a likely improver stepping up in trip if fully tuned up after 111 days off. |

Signed off on the Flat in Ireland with 1m6f win last summer but showed only modest form on first two hurdling starts; was bumped and fell at first hurdle last time; fair bit to prove. |

2-11 on the Flat in Ireland, with one of those wins coming last time out over 1m6f; that was off a modest mark and unlikely to be good enough to win a race of this nature on hurdling debut. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Locally trained 4yo; Killarney maiden hurdle winner last July (2m1f, yld-sft); added a Limerick handicap hurdle off 112 in March (2m, soft); tailed off on latest at Bellewstown and now switches attention to chasing; would probably prefer softer ground. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 170y |
9st 9lb |
Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt. |
8/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner has placed a couple of times over hurdles, oftentimes exhibiting quirky behaviour; fourth at Bellewstown last time (2m1f, yielding) when 17.5l behind the winner; fighting it out for a place maybe the best he can hope for. |
13/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Flat winner ran some eventful races over hurdles last year (ran out, jumped erratically) but for all that posted some decent runner-up finishes; tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Fairyhouse and not at his best back on Flat at Navan last time either; must concede penalty; others preferred. |

Twice a 1m course winner, the latest in November off 8lb lower; soundly beaten on last four starts, including twice over the extended 1m2f; now drops to 7f for the first time in the 20th race of his career; hard to be sure how he will cope. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Weak form in three maiden outings at Gowran; in rear at Limerick when 5lb out of the handicap; 11lb wrong this time, safe to rule out. |
