21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
10st 7lb |
Veteran is 3-38 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024 off 84; decent fourth at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) before dismal effort at Punchestown next time (2m3f, heavy); bounced back with rallying runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m, heavy); on career low mark and can't be ruled out. |

Veteran is 3-37 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024; handles testing ground and ran well when fourth here (2m4f) last month; needs to bounce back from dismal effort at Punchestown. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
7yo who showed improvement to win a handicap chase at Navan (2m1f, soft to heavy) last month and again ran well when 10l second of 12 at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) a fortnight ago behind a well-backed winner; 2lb wrong at the weights today but this Irish challenger could have more to offer and is respected. |

2nd 10 |
5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdles winner is proving a better chaser, winning 2m2f Limerick novice and most recently career-best in landing 2m1f Navan handicap last month (soft-to-heavy) under today's rider; bit to find with Jigoro on earlier Gowran running but progressing and can be involved off 5lb higher. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Limerick over Christmas in a novice contest (2m2f, soft to heavy); solid second over hurdles at Naas following that but poor next time; returned to fences at Gowran last time when weakened into an 8.25l fifth (2m, heavy); others preferred. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |
11st 12lb |
A 110-rated hurdler has won his last two starts in that sphere, including a handicap here (2m1f, gd-yld) off 96; this longer trip fine and he's of obvious interest on chase debut. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y |
11st 5lb |
Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim. |

11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won 2m4f handicap hurdle here in August under today's regular rider and some decent placings afterwards; unseated on chase debut last year when in front three from home at Downpatrick but didn't feature subsequently on softer ground at Ballinrobe; unexposed on return to fences and better ground could suit. |

Progressive handicap hurdler in March/April; off the mark over 2m5f at Down Royal (yielding) and better again off 11lb higher when clear second to a ready winner over C&D (soft-to-heavy); every chance here if a poor recent chase run is ignored; reservations about good ground. |
