26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner has won on the level at this track; however, his recent form has been poor and the blinkers will have to spark a major revival. |
25/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
12st 0lb |
Added a second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last summer (2m, good) off this mark; beaten 30l+ in all four runs this season (two over fences); drop into 0-100 category for the first time since his win is the one smidgen of hope. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Three-time hurdles winner, including on both Sligo visits; has been chasing and went close at Tramore on his penultimate start; strong contender here on the form that brought handicap wins over C&D and at Galway in the first half of last season; rider's 7lb claim an asset. |
13/8 |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
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 3lb |
Sole win in 35 starts over hurdles came first time out last year when he won C&D handicap by 10 lengths; lost form towards the end of last season; not a bad run here in June when mid-field behind subsequent dual Galway winner Timurshah. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

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. |

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 |

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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
11st 5lb |
Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |
11/2 |

2nd 4 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Consistent over hurdles last year, gaining sole win over extended 2m4f at Wexford; chasing this summer, second over farther here in in May and good run at Kilbeggan last time; cheekpieces return. |
6/1 |

5th 10 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 0lb |
Sole hurdles win came in 2m5f Wexford handicap last summer, pick of six attempts chasing when second in 3m Downpatrick handicap in May (good); tame Wexford effort early this month but has to be respected on overall profile (cheekpieces worn recently now ditched). |

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. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
10st 0lb |
Won off 1lb higher at Tramore last year; chased home Chesterbaylad at Cork earlier this month but not in same form twice since; beaten 25l on latest and others make more appeal. |
12/1 |
|
10th 14 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
10st 3lb |
Sole win came in this race last year off the same mark; not bad efforts at Cork and Kilbeggan lately so has to enter calculations back at this venue. |
5/1 |
|
6th 14 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Won a handicap hurdle at Tramore a year ago; right back to form when runner-up in a handicap hurdle at Cork on Monday; suited by a sharp, left-handed track and will go close if coming here in the same form. |
7/2 |
