28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |
11st 4lb |
Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run. |

Maiden was third in consecutive handicaps over 2m1f at Wexford in July but has been below that level twice since, including at Gowran last week; needs more. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |

Beaten by Malbas over C&D last June before back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Galway, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him when pulled up at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor run in yielding at Downpatrick. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-20 over hurdles but some decent efforts this year, including C&D third to Splendid Choice on penultimate (good) off this mark; never featured after slow start at Limerick on latest when claimer-ridden; senior rider now takes over and one to consider. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-19 over hurdles; went close off 109 over C&D (gd-yld) last May; didn't jump well when not beaten far off this mark at Wexford (2m1f, good) on latest; cheekpieces go back on; claims if jumping better. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Quirky sort who can sometimes be reluctant to race; got a deserved first win after a series of fine runs in defeat at Punchestown in January (2m6f, soft to heavy); beaten just a neck back there next time; bagged another win at Thurles earlier this month, rallying to get back up by a nose despite rider dropping his whip; up 7lb but in great form. |

Gained a deserved first win in 2m6f handicap at Punchestown (soft to heavy) following a series of fine runs in defeat; refused to race at Fairyhouse next time; was again reluctant to line up at Punchestown latest but ran a cracker to be beaten a neck; big player but comes with risks attached; new headgear. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 190y |

Sole win came over C&D in May off 89 (good); has generally run well since, most recently only caught late under a positive ride when third at Kilbeggan (second won next time); 2lb higher but every chance. |
9/2 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Held up to win a Wexford handicap hurdle by a neck off 89 in May (2m1f, good); similar tactics at that venue last twice, fifth of 14 and then a 15l fourth last time, where the winner got loose in the lead (just in front of Slea Head and Surviving Murmansk); can't discount. |

24th Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 150y |

Off the mark over C&D in May off 89 and okay run back here early in the month off this mark but clearly needs to improve to play a major role. |
