Impressed in winning handicap chases at Naas (yielding) and Clonmel (yielding to soft) and had jumped well out in front before falling late on at Navan (2m7f), where he was headed but boxing on; expect another positive ride back at this distance. |

Three wins over hurdles; placed in six consecutive attempts over fences between May 2024 and March 2025; fine second in Listed novice handicap chase at Navan in March; had a possible excuse (skin scrapes) when beaten favourite at Kilbeggan in June; trip-versatile. |

10st 6lb |
Running for the 45th time when opening her account over hurdles at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding, 100-30 fav) last month; couldn't follow up back there next time (3m1f, good, 12-1) off 5lb higher; regular 7lb claimer has been replaced for this return to fences (0-9), but her overall profile is unappealing. |

Running for the 45th time when opening her account with a C&D win last month; has gone up only 5lb , but probably vulnerable given her overall profile. |

0-44 but placed ten times over hurdles and stayed on to good effect at Sligo (2m5f, yld) six days ago; looked ready for this step back up in trip again and has claims. |

2-18 over fences, 1-19 over hurdles; hard to win with, but not far off his best when second off his lower hurdles mark at this venue two weeks ago; could go well again. |

10st 3lb |
Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount. |

Jumps and travels well but is a weak finisher with a good few seconds to his name; positive is that his sole chase win came after four months off and ground will suit, but seems best right-handed. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Won off 110 at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; best run since on latest at Kilbeggan when a 2.75l second off 115 (20.5f, yielding); up 2lb for that and has placed at around this trip over hurdles; in the mix. |

Point winner didn't win in 10 hurdle starts but was often placed, including at this track; off the mark over fences when winning at Limerick in May; beaten 14l off this mark over C&D last time and needs more. |

Three-time chase winner went close over hurdles twice over 2m at Thurles in November on different ground; no impression at Leopardstown over Christmas; unseen since pulled up back over fences at Thurles in February; has won following a similar break before but never from a mark this high, albeit rider's claim helps; trainer also runs Magic Day. |

Better hurdler than a chaser, and her last three runs over fences do nothing to dispute that; pulled up at Roscommon on her return. |

Better hurdler than chaser; she is at least back off her correct mark this time but wouldn't be the percentage call; now an 11yo. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 6lb |
In flying form this season, winning his first three starts, two over fences before hurdle win at Punchestown off 90; bad mistake two out when fourth in Listed chase at Naas on latest and the winner since finished second in the Leinster National; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |
8/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
In flying form this season, winning all three of his starts; took a Clonmel handicap (2m5f, good to yielding) chase in October and followed up back there next time (2m1f, soft); exploited lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month (2m3f, heavy); this is harder but he's in good form. |
