6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 13lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-5 over fences but has run well in defeat at times; fine second behind subsequent Ayr premier handicap winner Moudan at Navan on penultimate (2m1f, sft-hvy); 20.5f may have stretched at Kilbeggan latest; drops back in trip now but would ideally prefer softer ground. |
4/1 |

6th 13 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 1lb |
Won maiden hurdle at this track last year; well held in two beginners' chases before faring better on handicap debut when third at Naas in January; followed that up at Navan last time when 2.5l second to Moudan, who went on to win valuable contest at Ayr since; up just 1lb and steps up in trip; leading player for in-form trainer. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

One of two for trainer; McManus homebred was well-backed to win a maiden hurdle at the fifth attempt at Kilbeggan in April; well beaten in two high-quality beginners' chases this season, but shaped well on handicap debut at Naas (2m, soft) last time, disputing for second before weakening into third; Mark Walsh rides for the first time now; good chance. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut here (2m, heavy) in November; won again off his revised mark of 120 here in January (2m5f, sft-hvy); drop back to 2m didn't suit at Fairyhouse latest; better expected over this longer trip; chance. |

Off the mark on handicap debut over this trip at Punchestown in November (heavy) and returned there on latest nicely improved to win over 2m5f in January; had a break since and reverts to 2m off 8lb higher mark. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-13 over hurdles and has struggled a little with consistency in the past, with his better efforts coming over further; however, he went close off a similar mark at Hereford (2m3f, good) in November and, despite the drop back in trip and returning from a break, he still warrants respect. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-11 over hurdles; runner-up on consecutive 2m4f starts this summer but was pulled up (albeit in a competitive series final) last time and is not the most obvious answer to this competitive race. |

Close second to Service Minimum over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but a lesser effort behind Intosomethinggood followed three weeks ago and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won his first three races over fences (2m4f to an extended 2m5f) and, in first-time cheekpieces, ran well enough at Cartmel (2m1f; Krak 15l behind) to believe he's still on a workable mark; hard to knock. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won novice hurdle in April and is 3-3 over fences since, the latest win gained in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; may still have more improvement to come if aided by first-time cheekpieces but contests a stronger race here and the drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |
13/8 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
11st 5lb |
Limerick maiden winner last year and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out at Killarney in May, most recently would have gone closer but for pecking two out at same venue last month over 2m7f; remains of interest; also due to run here yeasterday (3.12). |

Beaten under 7l in two of his handicaps and off a lower mark now, so if the tongue-tie can trigger a revival, he could run well. |

1-11 on Flat after landing a 7f course maiden in April 2024; just 1.5l behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer in July (1m, good) and better off at weights now; well beaten at Galway latest (7f, yielding). |

Has failed to add to his Gowran maiden win in April 2024 (7f, good); not a bad effort when a close fourth behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer latest (Gloriously Glam second); handicap form unconvincing; new headgear combination tried. |
