17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles, making all over 2m7f at Clonmel in April and fair fourth here following month (2m4f); return to longer trip to suit and yard going well. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles; won this last year and he returns on the back of a narrow win at Clonmel (2m7f); has to enter the equation. |

Two-time chase (including here) and hurdling winner has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on his last three starts; likes it here but remains 5lb above his last hurdles win and stamina to prove for this trip. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y |
11st 1lb |
Has only won on goodish ground but seems effective on softer (rain forecast); solid second to My Gaffer from well off the pace after a break at Killarney and now better off at the weights with that rival; firmly in the mix. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Returned from break with two underwhelming chase runs this season and unseated rider when back over hurdles in plating company 12 days ago; tricky to weigh up at present but represents respected Irish stable. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
10st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; won a novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April last year and posted some good placed efforts subsequently; form tailed off in August and his two chase runs this year leave a lot to be desired; best treated at these weights but must return to somewhere near his best after just a six day break since his last run. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Fair hurdler's sole win was over 2m6f and stays 3m; second in a couple of points, but jumping lacked conviction when long way behind Chichester Park at Kilbeggan last month on first outing since August. |

Dual hurdle winner has been below form in that sphere on recent starts; needs to get back to his best on belated chasing debut. |

Two hurdle wins include 2m5f rated hurdle at Fairyhouse last season (good); safely held in handicaps of late (well-backed favourite at Killarney last time when hampered) but don't rule out. |

29th Dec 2024 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Mixing hurdling and chasing in 2024; beat Shadow Rider by 2.5l at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March off 126; beaten 5.75l off revised mark of 132 subsequently at Punchestown; well-beaten on latest after a break at Chepstow; will come on for that but has a bit to prove off his current rating |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2024 but lightly raced during the last 12 months and hasn't been anything like as good; potentially on a good mark for stable/chase debut but easy to have reservations. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 4lb |
Winner off the same mark at Wexford in 2023; his runs since then have been poor and he was weakening when he slipped up after two out at Punchestown last time; cheekpieces are now added to the tongue tie. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Form of 122 in points and the form of his 2022 point win worked out nicely; not so much the two 2023 efforts and he was tailed off when making his rules debut last week at 50-1; needs to leave that run behind. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 148y |
11st 4lb |
Won on his point debut at Ballycrystal in 2022; remote second twice since; best watched on his track debut after almost a year off. |
