25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose two-time winning hurdler; won C&D maiden hurdle last May and added a Listed handicap hurdle at the Galway festival in August; well beaten off revised mark twice since; decent run on the Flat at Killarney 13 days ago, but more needed back over timber in new headgear combination. |

No closer than 14l in three Flat maidens (for Michael Hourigan) and better known as a jumper, having won a Listed handicap hurdle at last year's Galway festival; could be dangerous off this low a mark. |

Twice successful early in the season on joining this yard, notably valuable 2m7f Galway handicap (good); didn't feature in Pertemps Qualifier at Cheltenham in October and absent since; likes good ground so possibly best watched on return here. |

Best maiden hurdle effort when runner-up at Downpatrick last August over 2m6f on good ground; finished in midfield on handicap debut at Navan; 6l behind Youlita when fifth here in January, may struggle to reverse that form |

Good effort in defeat at Perth on second bumper start; similarly solid runs in defeat both maiden hurdles, at Ballinrobe and over C&D (soft); handles a sound surface too so should go well. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
One of eight for trainer; maiden hurdle winner built on a good runner-up finish at Gowran on his third chase start to win a four-runner Wexford beginners' chase (3m1f, soft) at his leisure last time; that form probably doesn't amount to much, but he's not ruled out now entering handicaps. |

Breakthrough win over hurdles on latest at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); hit hard with an 11lb hike for that 11l victory and consistency has never been a strong suit, so is no banker to back that up. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |

Maiden hurdler but immediate breakthrough over fences in 2m4f Gowran beginners in November (heavy) under a positive ride; similar tactics employed in 2m6f Fairyhouse rated novice 9 days ago but didn't get home when third; return to this trip should suit but others possibly better handicapped. |
