11st 4lb |
Dual hurdle winner last season on good-to-yielding; safely held in quality beginners' chases; 3-1 favourite for handicap chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m1f, soft) last time when kept on for third, 11l behind the winner; step up in trip should help, as should this better ground; chance. |

11st 6lb |
Good bit of experience for a 5yo, including Galway Hurdle third and on last month's return from a break when scoring for third time over timber with career-best in valuable 2m Listowel handicap under a positive ride; likely major threat to same owner's The Yellow Clay with possible race-fitness edge and getting 8lb. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in February before some decent efforts in competitive contests; struck again with a supremely comfortable victory at Bellewstown in August (2m1f, good); tongue-tie now added to the previously worn hood after she weakened quickly at Listowel last time; avoids penalty and leading contender if back to her best. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Twice-placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last February (2m, heavy); keen throughout at Kilbeggan in June when finishing third (2m3f, good); supremely comfortable victor at Bellewstown last time when allowed to dominate (2m1f, good); jumps left at times so this track should suit and will be dangerous if given soft lead but step back up in trip raises a question; Townend chooses Jalila Moriviere. |

Twice placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner on heavy in February on second start for Willie Mullins; no disgrace in Naas third in April; lesser effort at Killarney before a more satisfactory display at Kilbeggan; has tended to race too keenly; should be thereabouts if settling better. |

Course winner in decent form and has finished in the first four in four of five starts this season; beaten 3.25l behind Sainte Lucie at Cork on latest; cheekpieces worn that day left off and he's 4lb wrong here; minor place claims. |

Maiden hurdle winner has been mostly consistent in defeat in handicaps; has been slowly dropping in the weights and cheekpieces may help eke out more. |

Punchestown maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has been consistent in his runs since without looking like winning; down 1lb since 7l fourth at Punchestown on New Year's Eve (2m3f, yielding); Billy Lee Swagger looks like the stable first string. |

Flat winner got off the mark immediately over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden hurdle last year (2m, heavy); well beaten in a Naas novice contest next time before some consistent Flat efforts; unseen since tailed off at Naas back over hurdles on final start for Michael O'Callaghan in November; needs to bring his best. |

Career highlights when winning back-to-back handicap hurdles at Gowran and Punchestown in November 2024; a long way below his best in a light 2025 campaign that included two poor runs over fences; well held by Theflyingbee on Punchestown running. |

C&D win in November 2024 (soft) was a second hurdling success; didn't set the world alight in subsequent runs including when well beaten at the festival here last season; reverts to hurdles after two poor chase runs this term; needs to bounce back to form. |
