Won four times in points during the 2024 autumn campaign; has brought his racecourse tally to four with two successes since then; started well for this stable with a handicap hurdle win at Ballinrobe last September, hard to fancy on subsequent form. |

10st 12lb |
Gained first chase win over C&D (good) just 17 days ago, bolting up by 11l; on the face of it, a 6lb rise for that looks a shade lenient but it probably wasn't the strongest of races and this is tougher; likes it here but needs to improve again to follow up. |

10st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner including once here, is 0-14 over fences but has been placed lots of times including third in this race last year; pulled-up over hurdles last time but a player if rebounding. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdles winner was poor at Wexford in April off 4lb higher (2m4f, good to yielding) but rebounded over fences back there last time when a distant second of 11 (3m2f, good to yielding); can't be ruled out but others are more appealing. |

11st 12lb |
Still seeking a first win after 25 races; reverts from chasing; raced five times over hurdles, but others have better claims; new headgear combination. |

Maiden has run well in defeat at times; unlucky to unseat at Punchestown last time; needs a return to his best form. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 157y |
11st 6lb |
Unable to win a race in 23 starts; returned from over a year break when finishing in midfield in a Cork handicap hurdle last month (2m4f, good); ran to a similar level when beaten 18.5L 12 days later in a Limerick handicap chase; his best form has come on soft ground so others are preferred. |

11st 4lb |
Relatively consistent for this sort of grade and finished runner-up in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary last week behind progressive rival; up 2lb but she's capable of getting involved again. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 120y |

2-13 over hurdles; close third at Down Royal when last seen in this discipline in November (3m, good to yielding); two second-placed finishes in handicap chases following that but her run last time at Limerick in a first-time tongue-tie was her worst in a long time; that headgear now removed. |

10st 6lb |
Last of five career wins came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap chase nearly four years ago; rapidly declining mark of late but glimpses of form, albeit plenty to find with Pride Of Place on latest Tipperary effort. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 70y |

Course novice hurdle winner; hampered on two occasions when pulled up on Limerick return in May; lying second when falling two out here two weeks ago, worth considering in a weak race. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
12st 0lb |
Novice hurdle winner here (3m) who went up 8lb for 2m6f Fairyhouse lady riders chase win in November (yielding); jumping issues when fifth of 17 to Sequestered at Leopardstown in December; hampered on two occasions (by left-jumping Ceroc) when pulled up on Limerick return in May so that run probably forgiven. |
