10st 8lb |
Well held over hurdles and fences since he was second in a Roscommon handicap chase in June; others preferred on his debut for a new stable. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |

Two-time hurdles winner last year; tame chase effort here on Tuesday and tried in first-time cheekpieces now back hurdling. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Two-time hurdles winner; his good second over fences at Roscommon in June (16.5f, yielding) would give him a chance here but didn't back it up at Wexford and failed to fire back over hurdles at Killarney on latest. |

11st 0lb |
Placed twice here last spring and would go close with a reproduction of his second 12 months ago; fell at the fourth at Cork on his first run after a lengthy break; may have needed the race here 12 days ago; should not be ruled out. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
10st 4lb |
Improved for a switch to course handicaps last season, a good third (18.5f, good) followed by 2l second of 11 (2m1f, good to yielding) in April; still had plenty to do when a faller four out on Cork return last month; unproven in the mud. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 8lb |
Has recorded her only two wins over hurdles at this venue, both over longer distances than this; stuck to her task over 2m4f here last October; failed to exploit a much lower chase mark here the following month and absent since. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 3lb |
Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |
7/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
10st 13lb |
Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Regressive over hurdles this year but more encouraging run a week ago at Downpatrick off career-low mark, only losing second late on over 2m2f behind a clear winner; same mark but more needed to play a major role. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Regressive over hurdles this year, well beaten over C&D on latest; last win came over C&D in August 2025 off 8lb higher so is well treated if finding his best. |

Regressive over hurdles this year; 11l fifth of 14 at Tramore last time (2m1f, good to yielding) was one of his better efforts; others more likely. |
