28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler and some good efforts over fences before getting off the mark here last month over 2m, defying top-weight when asserting from last for comfortable 1.75l win over Chosen Shant (who hit the last); 5lb worse off with that rival here but can confirm the form over this longer trip. |

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

Winning hurdler and although 0-8 chasing finished second in this race two years ago and went close on a few occasions last year; going okay when unseating three from home when back chasing at Thurles when last seen in November; may need this but goes well here so worth consideration. |

Off the mark on last start over timber at Kilbeggan (2m3f, gd-yld) off 96; hiked up 9lb for that and this trip and softer ground are queries; beaten off basement mark on the Flat here 23 days ago; a bit to prove in this tougher race. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 65y |
10st 13lb |
Hasn't looked close to making the breakthrough in two handicap runs at Sligo and Kilbeggan; tongue-tie added to cheekpieces and good claimer reduced burden, but others more likely. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 194y |

Failed to complete in two points but some minor promise in maiden hurdles, particularly when beaten 11l here last time; suspicion the step back up in trip will suit on handicap debut and one for the shortlist. |

Got off the mark in a 2m4f Tramore handicap in April; was below that form at Killarney last month but would have a shout if back to his best. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |
10st 13lb |
Sole win came at Tramore (20.5f, yielding) in April off 5lb lower, pulling well clear with second; ran fine at Clonmel off revised mark; unseated back at Tramore when under pressure and beaten 19l, but didn't enjoy a clean run; contender. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; well beaten lately and mark is starting to edge back down; cheekpieces. |

Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; probably too high in the ratings now; unsuited by race conditions at Killarney when tailed off last time; others more likely. |

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. |

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. |

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). |

Best effort a third of 16 over 24.5f here in June 2024 but was still beaten 28l; off the track since another heavy defeat at Tramore last August; hard to make a solid case for. |

Second runner for yard; starting to get the hang of things in handicaps the last twice; only beaten 12L when sixth at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good) and followed that with a remote third at the same track; placed here in a bumper and drop to this trip may suit; interesting. |

Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and Downpatrick before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; hit-or-miss of late but runner-up of 14 over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) three weeks ago; can go well. |

Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and over C&D before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; pulled up over fences at Kilbeggan and tailed off over hurdles at Wexford in most recent starts, however, runner-up finish at Down Royal over this trip in April gives him claims. |
