Good form last autumn, highlighted by Navan win over 2m3f (yielding) off 90; totally out of sorts in two races last month; second reserve for 5.35 at Downpatrick on Friday |

Won over 2m3f at Navan last September and decent efforts in defeat at Listowel and Punchestown before a break; recent Clonmel run looked too bad to be true even though the 2m trip was inadequate. |

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. |

3rd 7 |
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. |

24th Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 150y |

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. |

11st 4lb |
Long-standing maiden until joining yard last summer and then went back-to-back at Wexford in July/August; well beaten at the festival here on next start and has struggled since; better ground will help and she's 1lb lower than last winning mark. |

Dual hurdle winner but is rated only 86 over fences and is out of her depth against some of these rivals. |

Back-to-back winner of modest handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; lost form in the autumn and ran poorly at Limerick four weeks ago on his first run after a winter break; better ground could make a big difference now; only 2lb above his last winning mark. |

10st 2lb |
Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song. |

Wins have been divided between Tramore and Wexford, all on decent ground; long losing run however and continues to struggle off plummeting mark. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Won twice last year and is 7lb below her last success but she is hard to fancy on what she has shown on her last three runs, though she faced an impossible task on latest. |

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-time Flat winner; 0-14 over hurdles; okay run at Navan in November (2m, heavy) but pulled up when last seen at Fairyhouse in December; others preferred. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 112y |
10st 8lb |
Two-time Flat winner at Gowran; 0-11 hurdling, standout run when second in 2m1f Wexford handicap (good) over the summer in first-time cheekpieces, most recently didn't count in midfield at Roscommon last month; more needed but don't rule out. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 135y |

Two-time Flat winner; ten-race maiden over hurdles but ran her best race for a while when under 6l away at Bellewstown (2m1f, good); the cheekpieces are working well. |

Sent off at 7-2 and duly produced an improved effort when beaten only 1/2l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo a month ago; hood now added to usual tongue-tie; should go close for trainer who hit the target in a handicap chase at Clonmel last week. |

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. |

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. |
