10st 9lb |
A 132-rated hurdler has run well in defeat on the Flat several times including when third over 1m4f here on return last month; however, was poor over hurdles at Galway since and has to rebound; the hood worn then is left off. |

Last win came in a Listed hurdle in November at Kempton over 2m5f; some good runs after but was below form at Cheltenham; a decent Flat run last time at Tramore; considered. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

Shock 150-1 Irish Cesarewitch winner at the Curragh last year; placed in all four maiden hurdles, but his jumping let him down when third at Thurles latest; will need to up his game now sent chasing. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 70y |
11st 8lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Fairyhouse in February last year; promising seasonal return at Limerick hasn't been built on and failed to complete two of last three; new headgear combination needs to spark. |

C&D winner in February last year off 95 (2m7f, good to yielding); well beaten at Punchestown in June but it was a good effort to take third at Limerick in December (2m4f, heavy); 15l behind when fell at two out last time. |

12st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle (2m6f, heavy) on New Year's Day and handled good ground well when second in Thurles handicap over same trip; not sure if he stayed 3m at Cork last time. |

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, heavy) on New Year's Day but showed likeness for good ground when runner-up to the well-treated Rushmount at Thurles two weeks ago; big chance from same mark. |

Never a factor in five starts late last year; well-backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse in November; first start for new yard after leaving Charles Byrnes; best watched. |

Placed form this time last year was on softer ground and recent runs haven't been encouraging; interestingly, was well backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse on penultimate start so keep a close eye on the betting. |

11st 13lb |
0-13 over hurdles but placed six times in maidens; no impact in initial handicap runs but fared better following the application of blinkers in his last two outings; 8l fourth at Limerick (2m7f, good) and 7.5l behind Set The Tone over C&D last time when keeping on well after getting squeezed for room at the third last; not ruled out. |

0-12 over hurdles but placed six times in maidens and made no impact on initial handicap runs but fared better when beaten 8l into fourth at Limerick lto; claims of same mark with step up in trip likely to suit on evidence. |
