16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner over 2m has been well beaten over fences and hurdles the last twice; the cheekpieces worn last time are left off; this trip is new territory. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner last June, beating today's rival Jerrari; also ran well to take second in a 2m3f contest last August; a recent chase start should have advanced his fitness; cheekpieces added |

Triple Flat winner won twice over hurdles last year at 2m but was disappointing on two of last three starts; chasing debut after a break and others preferred. |

11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who has fared well in three starts over fences, beaten a neck by Kilbrin Rocco at Tramore 26 days ago; step up in trip and ground should suit. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdles winner; sound effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Downpatrick (20.5f, gd-yld) when a 5l third but tailed off on softer ground at Fairyhouse (2m) on latest in January; soft ground a concern on handicap chase bow. |

11st 6lb |
Gained his only hurdles win in this race a year ago, making all to win easily on good ground after 200 days off; trying to repeat that feat; also ran well here a couple of times in August before form tailed off. |

Shot up the handicap after winning by 10l over 2m2f at this track in May; some decent efforts in defeat since though was below form at Galway last time; needs his best. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Won two good-ground handicap hurdles last summer but hasn't recaptured that level of form this year, including on recent chase debut at Wexford (50-1). |
33/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |
16/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Beaten by Malbas over C&D last June before back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Galway, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him when pulled up at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor run in yielding at Downpatrick. |

0-5 over hurdles; pulled up on handicap debut at Tipperary last year and beaten 23l when last seen at Downpatrick last August; down 2lb and returns with yard in form; watch unless the market speaks. |

10st 10lb |
Still a maiden and this headgear did nothing for him when tailed off at Sligo; opposable. |

12th 14 |
10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 157y |
10st 13lb |
0-8 over hurdles; showed a glimmer when fourth at Cork in March but poor twice since; needs more with cheekpieces now tried and unproven on soft ground if the forecast rain comes. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 |
1st Jun 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Promise in first two handicaps a year apart; shaped well at Cork when fourth of 18 off 88 in March; didn't back that up when well beaten at Limerick last month; down 1lb and capable of better but hard to be confident. |

11st 4lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |

Is just 1-19 over hurdles but has posted two decent chase runs from three starts including here; down 1lb from Wexford last time; cheekpieces added; can get involved. |
6/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 1lb |
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. |

Maiden was too keen when well beaten at Clonmel last time but overall form needs improving upon. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 205y |

Placed only once from 14 starts over hurdles; soundly beaten in fifth at Downpatrick on latest, though that was one of his better displays. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Winless from 18 starts, only making the podium once; tailed off on the Flat at Tramore in July and same story over hurdles at Wexford last time; new headgear combination employed now. |

10st 5lb |
Breakthrough win came over C&D last August off 4lb lower; below best on Flat and over hurdles in three starts since; off since poor AW effort in November; likely to need this run. |
