10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Decent performer at a modest enough level, three hurdle wins and twice successful over fences off lower marks this term in Limerick handicaps, most recently last month when patiently-ridden to lead two out for ready 11l win (2m4f, soft); up 9lb but remains 10lb lower than hurdles so remains very much of interest. |

No closer than 20l in five defeats over fences and was pulled up back hurdling last time; testing ground was no excuse as he enjoys the mud. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |

C&D winner off 94 in December 2024; enjoys the mud; jumping issues evident in five poor chase attempts this season; needs to do better but a return to hurdling should help. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly over 2m3f at Wexford three weeks ago; likes good ground or a slight ease and only 5lb higher; on the shortlist. |

1-9 over fences; hasn't really fired in 2026 and failed to exploit lower hurdles mark at Galway on latest when 28-1; needs to rediscover best. |

Both wins have been at around 2m5f, including Kilbeggan beginners' chase last year; just okay run on latest in Wexford handicap hurdle over this trip in May; stamina remains a possible issue. |

10st 7lb |
Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 24y |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

Three decent runs since winning over C&D (gd-yld) in April off 8lb lower, two over hurdles and when second on the Flat at Limerick; ground may have been a bit lively back over hurdles at Ballinrobe latest; return to this C&D a plus, as is the forecast rain; chance. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |

Took a long time to win a race over hurdles but has been in fine form in recent months; deserved her breakthrough win at Kilbeggan; suffered interference when chasing home an easy winner at Limerick; transferred her form to the Flat when second at 25-1 in a 1m4f contest at the same venue; good chance off a light weight. |

Won for the third time at Naas in April off 81 (3m, gd-yld); decent run off revised mark at Cork without looking like winning; similar effort in handicap chase at Wexford latest; has won off this rating on testing ground so rain may enhance his chance. |
