10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 26y |
11st 10lb |
Fairly exposed 8yo had been mostly chasing since last year, but has done well since reverting to hurdles this summer; up 13lb in total for pair of small-field handicap wins under positive tactics; fair run on the Flat last time. |
6/1 |

2nd 10 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Made all to win over hurdles here in May and bounced back from a poor Galway run to again make all to win a Wexford handicap hurdle six days ago; goes well here and should be a player but likes to get her own way in front. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Has lost her way until comfortably landing an eight-runner Tramore handicap in May (2m, good); given an easy lead that day and couldn't back it up at Galway when tailed off (2m1f, good); needs things to go her way. |

Won off 4lb lower at Killarney in May, his last run on yielding ground; not as good the last twice on good ground but the return to an easier surface offers hope of an improved run. |

3rd 3 |
17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Mid-field over hurdles at Galway; better judged on his handicap chase win at Killarney on only his second attempt in a handicap chase; likely to confirm form with fourth-placed Ik's Man. |

Scored from this mark over fences at Killarney in May and gave the impression a step back up in trip could be in his favour; this looks more competitive but not ruled out. |

Beaten a head by The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse in April (2m5f, yielding to soft); creditable effort around the cross-country course at the Punchestown festival last time (3m1f, good to yielding); not ruled out. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |

Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

Second for this rider when favourite for this race last season and a C&D winner for her last November; kept ticking over with a cross-country run and a hurdles outing in February; strong chance. |

Chase winner is 0-8 over hurdles; beaten similar distances over timber the last twice since falling in a Navan handicap chase back in March; not easy to fancy but can't be discounted given current form of stable. |

Won a novice chase at Cork last October, but is a maiden over hurdles; well beaten in this sphere at Ballinrobe last time over 2m, but this trip could suit; is capable of better, so not ruled out. |

Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 3lb |
Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |
7/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Got off the mark over fences at Naas in November over 2m4f and a decent run in defeat over a similar trip at this track since; races off the same mark today up in trip and can be a player if staying. |

Hurdle winner over three years ago; 0-10 chasing, good C&D effort last summer, not so good of late, 3m probably too far on latest; can't rule out back at a more suitable trip. |

Back to winning ways on the Flat at Tramore in July (2m, good); not beaten far in a handicap chase at Wexford in early August (15.5f, good) and 1lb lower now; okay run back on the Flat at Tramore 20 days ago; remains 4lb above sole chase win. |
