26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Killarney in May, his last run on yielding ground; not as good the last twice on good ground but the return to an easier surface offers hope of an improved run. |

3rd 3 |
17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Mid-field over hurdles at Galway; better judged on his handicap chase win at Killarney on only his second attempt in a handicap chase; likely to confirm form with fourth-placed Ik's Man. |

Scored from this mark over fences at Killarney in May and gave the impression a step back up in trip could be in his favour; this looks more competitive but not ruled out. |

Was mixing hurdles and fences last year, winning a Galway chase in October before a hurdles second at Tramore; up 3lb for that run so will need to be ready on return to defy that. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 73y |
11st 4lb |
Won a handicap hurdle at Wexford last summer and several promising efforts this year, including over timber at Roscommon in August when only finding one too good; may have won that without a bad mistake late and arrives on the back of a facile success over fences at Galway on Tuesday; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

Course handicap hurdle winner in 2021; bolted up on yard debut at Ballinrobe in September (2m6f, soft) before solid fifth at Listowel; below best at Cheltenham next time; ran well for a long way here (24.5f, yielding) over fences in December. |

Won a 3m2f Limerick handicap chase in May for the late Edward O'Grady; pulled up on next two outings (coughing on the first occasion); return to hurdling did the trick when he scored readily on recent stable debut at Ballinrobe; can remain competitive off 7lb higher, with the same talented 7lb claimer up. |

0-7 over fences but has run ok in defeat; shaped nicely when third in a C&D beginners' on penultimate and that form has since been boosted by the fourth Born Bright; go well back in handicap company with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

Sole chase win came at this track in September off 93 (2m, good); recent chase runs do not provide huge encouragement and both her wins have come at shorter than this; in saying that, the handicapper is giving her a chance. |

Hurdles winner at this track in 2022 and also won a 2m Tramore handicap chase last season (good) off 3lb higher; beaten 21l here earlier this month in a race won by Crowsatedappletart (2m3f, good); needs to bounce back to form but handicapper giving her a chance. |

Winning hurdler; 0-11 chasing but rated 3lb superior in this discipline after runner-up finishes at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding to soft) and Naas (2m4f, heavy); recent 2m1f Navan handicap fourth wasn't a bad effort, this more his trip so one to consider. |
