11st 0lb |
C&D maiden winner on debut in April has mostly run well in defeat since; didn't always jump fluently when was 1.5l behind Ballykinlar at Listowel last time; can run well again and get closer if jumping better. |

11st 5lb |
Shock maiden hurdle winner at Limerick on debut but has come up short in novice company since; can race keenly at times, though did settle better at Galway on latest; rated 123 and a bit to find on these terms. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
One of four for trainer; two-time Flat winner and maiden hurdle winner; creditable efforts in his last three handicaps, a 2l runner-up at Navan (2m5f, heavy) before staying on for a modest fourth in a Listed contest at Navan when 3lb wrong (3m1f, soft to heavy); third at Limerick last time when he could offer no more close home (3m, soft to heavy); can go well again but Kennedy chooses another. |

11st 0lb |
Won a Gowran maiden (2m, soft) in March; has failed to fire in four starts since, twice coming up short in handicaps; best efforts have come on soft ground; probably needs rain. |

First reserve; French Flat winner; won a Gowran maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft); beaten 22l on handicap debut at Aintree in April and this trip seemed to stretch him in a rated novice at Clonmel; others preferred. |

11st 5lb |
Back-to-back hurdling wins at Clonmel last summer; also front-running second at same venue in a 2m3f novice handicap chase; wins were over further; on the positive side, the ground should be ideal for him. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back hurdling wins at Clonmel in May/June at 19.5f (good) and 22.5f (gd-yld); modest efforts in first two starts over fences; this trip looks sharp enough on handicap chase debut. |

1-11 over hurdles and rated 100; tailed off in all three previous starts over fences and similar story last two starts in novice hurdles; lacks a recent run and others appeal more. |
