31st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 6lb |
Good bit of experience for a 5yo, including Galway Hurdle third and on last month's return from a break when scoring for third time over timber with career-best in valuable 2m Listowel handicap under a positive ride; likely major threat to same owner's The Yellow Clay with possible race-fitness edge and getting 8lb. |

Comfortably won Worcester maiden (2m, good) on last summer's stable debut but has been some way below that form on all three starts since; will be fine over today's trip but needs to get career back on track. |

11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who justified skinny odds with minimal fuss in Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in August; he's one of the two form picks on that and earlier evidence, but the heavy defeats in his two handicaps since tell a very different story. |

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. |

Lightly raced mare came good on third maiden hurdle run when taking 2m1f Ballinrobe mares contest last month, possibly not suited by tight track but never stronger than at the finish; good chance she'll find more at this longer trip and respected on handicap debut with capable claiming amateur booked. |

Won four-runner novice chase at Cork (16.5f, good) in October; 0-6 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 5.25l when fourth off this mark at Navan in September; fell in a handicap chase at Navan latest; not discounted back over hurdles. |

One of two for trainer; exhibited jumping frailties in previous starts before getting off the mark in a Cork novice chase in October (2m2f, good); Achilles heel came back to haunt him when 5-2 favourite next time at Thurles (2m3f, good), jumping poorly and finishing a 17.75l fourth; Donoghue rides Stuntman Steve. |
