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. |

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 |

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; 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. |

Promise in two of her six runs last season, staying on into fifth over 20.5f (good) at Bellewstown off 95 and again over 22.5f (good to yielding) when fourth at Galway; fell at Clonmel; testing ground an excuse at Gowran; very interesting on return/stable debut for Andy Slattery. |
