9st 7lb |
Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form. |

Won C&D maiden on this card last year on debut for the Cromwell yard and later added Listowel win on heavy; goes well fresh so has to be respected given his record here. |

3yo has won twice this season, including on latest at Listowel (8.5f, heavy) off 4lb lower (Quatre Bras 0.75l behind); ground conditions fine and should go well again if proving as effective on this track. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |
9st 0lb |
Encouraging second at Navan (1m6f, yielding) in August and may have found 1m2f against him when a beaten favourite at the Curragh 11 days ago; potential pace angle here and return to further should help; each-way claims. |

Has been runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden over just short of this trip and a Navan handicap over 1m6f last time; raised 2lb but should be competitive again. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year but didn't go on under either code; not the appeal of some on stable debut despite stamina to spare at the trip; tongue tie added. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

3rd 2 (1) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 1lb |
Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |

Locally trained 4yo; Killarney maiden hurdle winner last July (2m1f, yld-sft); added a Limerick handicap hurdle off 112 in March (2m, soft); tailed off on latest at Bellewstown and now switches attention to chasing; would probably prefer softer ground. |
