10st 7lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |

2-28 with both wins coming at Sligo, the most recent off 2lb lower last June (20.5f, good); has run well over C&D off higher marks in the past and likes good ground; go well. |

Became disappointing over hurdles after winning his maiden and he offered very little on switch to fences last October; hard to warm to. |

Winner of his third hurdle start when taking a Down Royal maiden in August last year (2m4f, good); nothing since and has been tailed off in three most recent starts; fences need to spark a return to form. |

Third in a Sligo handicap (2m2f, good) last August but she's not gone on from that and has been pulled up and tailed off in last two starts; overall record is now 0-17 and others are preferred, |

Latest of five wins was at Fairyhouse in November; pulled up over fences last time; handles good ground and has won over 3m; trainer has said that once he goes over mark of 100, he struggles, but claim will help. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |

Five-time hurdles winner; limited chasing experience and lacks a recent outing; however, potentially well handicapped, 8lb below the current hurdles rating he earned with a Fairyhouse win last November. |

Point winner ran her best race under rules when a 3.5l third of 16 over 3m2f here last month (good, 40-1); the form of that race might not be trustworthy, though, as the race turned into a dash. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y |

Has shown glimpses of potential over hurdles and fences; however, was pulled-up on return last time at Limerick and has to improve hugely from that. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

One of three for trainer; off the mark when winning this race last year (good); nearly made it back-to-back C&D victories when beaten a neck on seasonal return in May (good, 11-1); up 2lb but he should come on for that run and O'Keeffe now rides for the first time. |

Modest form in seven starts but took small step in right direction at this track a year ago when beaten 17.5l into fifth off 9lb higher; tailed off over hurdles and fences since; returns after 305 days off and needs plenty more. |
