13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Won a 2m3f Limerick handicap last year but was poor twice after; not a bad effort on return at Listowel; can improve from that and be a player. |

Showed precious little in maidens before winning on handicap debut at Limerick in May 2025 off 92 (2m3f, good); badly hampered when pulled up at Killarney last time; long-absent and may need this. |

Shaped with promise when third at Limerick (2m3f) in May but probably didn't stay when tried over 23.5f latest; could rebound dropped back in trip. |

Yet to win in 14 hurdle starts but some decent efforts in defeat, including when runner-up twice at this course last year off 7lb higher; improved from return effort when solid fourth at Wexford latest; could be primed to strike; new headgear. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 180y |

Maiden who looks capable of minor success judged on a pair of seconds in handicap hurdles at Clonmel in March and May last year; signed off 2025 with two fair runs in handicap chases; lack of a recent run is a possible negative. |

Sole win over hurdles came at Kilbeggan last year and some decent runs in defeat since; however, was poor on return at Punchestown and tried to refuse then unseated rider last time at Limerick; risky. |

Improved for the switch to chasing; survived a mistake four out on his way to winning at Sligo in October (2m5f, good to yielding); not as good next time when fifth from 5lb higher at Thurles; needed the run on return last year. |
