11st 10lb |
Sole win came over C&D in May off 89 (good); has generally run well since, most recently only caught late under a positive ride when third at Kilbeggan (second won next time); 2lb higher but every chance. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Held up to win a Wexford handicap hurdle by a neck off 89 in May (2m1f, good); similar tactics at that venue last twice, fifth of 14 and then a 15l fourth last time, where the winner got loose in the lead (just in front of Slea Head and Surviving Murmansk); can't discount. |

Off the mark over C&D in May off 89 and okay run back here early in the month off this mark but clearly needs to improve to play a major role. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including 2m handicap chase in June, before chasing home Farrokh in similar contest, having fluffed the last; not so good back hurdling here on latest but has to be respected on overall record here. |
9/2 |

5th 1 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including in this race last year off 2lb higher (good to yielding); fairly moderate form after that, but she has returned to form here over fences recently, winning a handicap chase (2m, good) and finishing second last time (2m, good); leading player. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Wexford specialist, winning twice over hurdles last year and off the mark chasing in C&D handicap last month, overcoming attentions of loose horse at the last in outstaying L'Amiral Fromentin by 3.75l (good); up 6lb but major player. |

Course winner over 3m; the last of three hurdle wins came in 2024; a good run over 3m last month but was poor since, both back here; a squeak if back in form. |

8th 14 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps in 2024, the first of them was this race off 10lb higher (good) and at Tramore off 17lb higher (2m5f, good to yielding); lost her way badly following that but there were positive signs in her 3l third of 14 over C&D last time, staying on strongly; well handicapped if backing it up. |

Off the mark under this rider at Tramore 12 days ago and 6lb rise is fair but unproven on this sort of ground; now tried with first-time tongue-tie. |

16th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose maiden has been below form of late hurdling; hasn't run on the Flat in over a year and hard to be confident in; 3lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |

Two wins on the Flat but 0-16 over hurdles; good effort when third of 24 at Navan in November (2m, heavy); pulled up next time at Fairyhouse; fell and tailed off in two runs this term so others have more persuasive recent form; declared for 6.20 at Sligo on Thursday. |

Yet to trouble the judge in seven runs over hurdles; went close over fences at Sligo in October (3m2f, good to yielding); tailed off at Thurles in October; pulled up back from a break in a Ballingarry point-to-point in May (evens fav'); others preferred. |

Remote third at Wexford (16.5f, good) off 2lb higher on penultimate but didn't build on that upped to 20.5f at the same venue latest; drops back in trip now but others make more appeal. |

Stayed on for a modest third here (16.5f, good) last time, his best run to date; dropped 1lb and this longer trip should suit; place chance if building on that last run. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |

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. |

Fair fifth at Wexford in his first handicap; failed to build on that when beaten over 20l at Kilbeggan on Saturday, weakening late on; others appeal more. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Beaten a long way in five maiden hurdle starts but his run at Wexford on handicap debut was a bit better when a 15.5l fifth of 11 (16.5f, good to yielding), had Surviving Murmansk behind and Splendid Choice close in front; needs a big step forward; declared for Sligo on Thursday. |
