Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

Added second hurdles win when victorious at Fairyhouse in October (2m, yielding) off 7lb lower; not done with when departing at the second last at Cheltenham but unseen since tailed off at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) in November; ground should suit. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 150y |
10st 4lb |
Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal, let down badly by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown last time; has an edge over Laurie Blue on that running and holds a leading chance. |

Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal last week; let down badly by his jumping; may do better, although it is hard to know what inspired the market move, since he has failed to reach the first three in 13 races over hurdles. |

In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over 2m7f at Downpatrick 22 days ago and the winner was Dinoland who contests the previous race; this 7yo gets in off the same mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Won 2m4f handicap hurdle here in August under today's regular rider and some decent placings afterwards; unseated on chase debut last year when in front three from home at Downpatrick but didn't feature subsequently on softer ground at Ballinrobe; unexposed on return to fences and better ground could suit. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 9lb |
One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 170y |

Maiden has been consistent in handicaps over the last year; not his best run when a beaten favourite over a bit further here last time but can go closer if improving from that. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
