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. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 7lb |
3-26 over hurdles; runner up the last twice, off 5lb lower at Leopardstown and then off 3lb lower at Cork when 1.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme; weighted to turn that around but may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Running consistently well over fences/hurdles this season; three seconds from four starts before a Limerick win; held her own when given a shot at a big prize at the DRF; runner-up at that venue on latest; in the mix again. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 7lb |
Won off 10lb lower at Sligo (3m2f, good) in May; beaten 1l off 114 at Kilbeggan in July (20.5f, yld-sft) and just 1lb higher here; not beaten far at Perth latest and he has place claims. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since comfortable win in 15-runner Sligo handicap (3m2f, good) in June and was below form when well-held third in Downpatrick novice on Friday but has a big role to play if back on song here. |

Ex-Irish; has made a bright start in points for his current trainer, winning twice last month under Heidi Palin; races prominently and should give a good account. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 176y |

Gained a first win under rules in handicap here in November over slightly further (good), heavy ground may have been against him latest two starts; don't rule out him bouncing back. |

27th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 2f 198y |

Gained a first win under rules in a handicap chase at Thurles in November but not as good twice since; needs to bounce back returning to this sphere from 4lb lower hurdle mark. |

10st 13lb |
Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 128y |

Two of his three hurdle wins have come at this track with the latest last month and not a bad effort back here last time; hasn't run over fences in a while but would have a squeak on his best efforts. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Third at this venue in January 2025 seems to have been a flash in the pan; down the field here last December and absent since; now a 22-race maiden. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Long standing maiden but he is capable of running well off this mark if in the mood; however, he's been off since a below par run in April and might just need this run after a 197 day break. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 110y |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |
9/2 |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Dual hurdles winner at around 2m3f (stays 2m4f); well beaten in all three starts for this trainer; handy mark as a result and support for him would be interesting. |

Has won here over 2m on heavy; no win since September 2021; not much promise on two recent starts but he has run well here a few times in the past and he won't mind if the rain comes; can't be fully discounted. |
