10st 4lb |
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. |

10st 12lb |
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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Still a maiden after 42 starts but solid effort over hurdles at Sligo (2m4f, good) on penultimate when staying on dourly to take second (Island McCoo back in fourth); ran no race here over fences last week; hard to trust. |

Still a maiden after 41 starts but solid effort over hurdles at Sligo (2m4f, good) nine days ago when staying on dourly to take second; each-way claims if she can back that up. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Maiden out of her depth in rated race on latest and in poor form before that; however, she was beaten 0.5l off 10lb higher over C&D (good) last June and her course form figures read 42242; could revive. |

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. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
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. |

Second runner for yard; 1-17 over hurdles and extended record to 0-22 over fences on latest at Tramore (2m), jumping mistakes proving costly but beaten only 4l; longer trip not an issue. |

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. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 4lb |
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. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 38y |

Won under a positive ride at Limerick (2m4f, good) on return from a break in May off 5lb lower; wasn't suited by the drop to 2m1f at Tipperary on latest; runner up twice here over hurdles so would be no surprise were he to rebound stepped back up in trip. |

11st 9lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, winning three of 20 chase starts; 0-10 over timber but is rated 17lb lower; winner of a Kilbeggan handicap chase in April (2m4f, yielding); unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark at that track last month when 17l fourth of 13 (18.5f, good); could be thereabouts. |

Went out on her shield after making a bold bid in a Roscommon handicap chase (21.5f, good) latest; is 2lb below her last winning hurdles mark and could be dangerous if she's given too much rope in front. |

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. |
