6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 11lb |
Hurdles winner is 0-7 over fences and yet to trouble the judge; step in the right direction in a mares' chase at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) last time after successive pulled up efforts but more needed down in trip back in handicap company. |

Hurdle winner last year but lost her form in that sphere; has run well at times over fences but pulled-up last two tries and not easy to fancy. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win came in 2m4f novice handicap hurdle here last season; best of five attempts chasing this term when fair fifth (Mystical Goddess third) in 2m5f mares' handicap here in November; pulled up latest two outings so caution advised; 1lb wrong. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Stable is going well at the moment and this 8yo contributed with a clearcut win at Hexham (extended 2m7f, good) 15 days ago; up 5lb today; usually ridden in the last ten months by Harry Reed, who's on stablemate Pyramid Place this time but, on the face of it, this is the yard's stronger option. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
C&D winner on stable debut in August and has shown fair form since, though he needs to be forgiven a below-par effort here last time over 2m4f; possible danger if returning to form now back up in trip. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner on stable debut in August and mainly fair form since; closely matched with Wee Alki on their clash over 3m here 17 days ago and the drop back in trip is maybe more in his favour; respected. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 12lb |
Justified short odds to win a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in November (2m, sft-hvy); placed in both handicap hurdle starts since, over this C&D (sft-hvy) and back at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yld-sft); new blinkers could eke out more; player. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Favourite when touched off in this race last year (off 105) and reappeared to land 2m maiden here in November on similarly testing ground; beaten favourite both starts since, latest when dropping out tamely before last in C&D rated novice in January; tongue-tie now added to cheekpieces worn the last twice. |

15th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Went close in a handicap hurdle over C&D on his final stat last season; justified odds-on favouritism in a 2m maiden here in November on return; beaten 10l when favourite over a trip a little shorter than this in a handicap at Punchestown later that month. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Course 2m7f winner over fences; may have needed chase run early this month after a break; not without a chance despite a mark 6lb higher than his chase rating. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Comfortably justified favouritism at Punchestown last October (2m7f, good to yielding) when returned to fences, adding to his summer hurdles win at Galway; a long way below his best on heavy at Cheltenham in November; better at Leopardstown at Christmas; trainer has saddled the winner of this in two of the last three seasons; Aine O'Connor won it in 2017. |

Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |
