On a hat-trick after wins in a 3m maiden hurdle at Limerick and off 122 in a 2m7f Listed novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse; stays well and is suited by plenty of ease in the ground; interesting with an experienced 7lb claimer aboard. |

11st 1lb |
Four-time point-to-point winner gained first chase win under rules' on latest at Limerick (24.5f, sft-hvy); raised 6lb for that and this is a deeper race; will need a big career-best to follow up. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
11st 8lb |
Four-time point-to-point winner whose success under rules came in 2m7f Punchestown novice handicap hurdle last season (soft); 0-5 chasing, well held last twice in Naas handicaps, albeit near-impossible task last time from 10lb out of handicap in Leinster National; drops in class so don't rule out. |

Four-time point-to-point winner has one success under rules' which came in a comfortable fashion in a Punchestown novice handicap hurdle in February last year off 112 (2m7f, soft); well beaten in recent chase runs, including on handicap debut last time over 2m4f here (heavy); looks up against it from 10lb outside handicap. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |

Maiden is rated 100 over hurdles and was well beaten on chasing debut at Tramore a week ago; cheekpieces added but not easy to fancy. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles and rated 100 in that sphere; nonetheless, his 9l fifth of nine at Killarney last month was one of his better efforts (2m5f, good); fences need to bring improvement. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 50y |

Several decent runs in defeat in handicaps including fourth (beaten 10l) over C&D last time; down 1lb and cheekpieces on so should be involved. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 85y |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 7f 100y |

Nine-race maiden produced his best handicap run on penultimate start at Limerick (2m6f, good) when third of 8 off 97; didn't back that up at Cork on latest so needs to step forward to play a major role here. |

Point winner; some promise in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Thurles in 2024; has struggled in two handicap hurdles after a spell over fences; stablemate Warm In Gorey is more appealing. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |

Point winner; displayed promise in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Thurles; poor form last year in three chase starts; heavy defeat after break on handicap debut at Cork in April; can only be watched in first-time blinkers. |

Ran well in a maiden hurdle at Thurles in November 2024 but has struggled since, though has been set some tough tasks; this more realistic and worth a market check on return from a break on handicap debut. |

Bumper winner; took a long time to open her hurdles account, winning in good style at Thurles in January on her 17th attempt; not a bad run in a Navan conditions race before putting a blot on her record when pulled up in Fairyhouse race won by Katie Daniels; first reserve. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Two-time hurdles winner; his good second over fences at Roscommon in June (16.5f, yielding) would give him a chance here but didn't back it up at Wexford and failed to fire back over hurdles at Killarney on latest. |
