Had been knocking on the door in maiden hurdles before running out a good winner from the front at Galway last month in first-time blinkers; track is likely to suit him well and will take beating if similar tactics are employed. |

Flat winner is 0-12 over hurdles but has finished runner up on five occasions, including in this last year; good second at Punchestown in June but was below par on latest in a Sligo novice; could go well if the new blinkers provide a spark. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

Won a maiden here in 2024 but well beaten in a handicap here last year; 10lb lower now, however, and huge swing in weights may enable him to turn the tables on Reponse Finale who was 0.75l ahead of him at Dundalk 26 days ago; player. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Progressive 6yo followed up a 2m maiden win at Punchestown with third at Galway, where he was gaining close home on more forwardly-ridden Roc Dino; got done for toe in another steadily-run contest at Kilbeggan (2m3f) since; maybe a positive ride can see him in a better light. |
2/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Fair bumper form for Lorna Fowler without winning; produced an improved display to win a 2m Punchestown maiden in June; ran as well as could have been expected when taking third behind the two market leaders in a 2m4f Galway novice event. |

Won over 1m/1m1f this summer, the latest here; still on a competitive mark judged on her close third here in August and that's without accounting for Reese Holohan's claim, but dropping back to 7f doesn't look a positive. |

Gained reward for consistency when landing 1m handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown in July; raised a total of 15lb for those two wins and, despite a 3lb drop, might just be on the wrong side of the handicapper for now. |

Showed progression in handicap hurdles late last year, finishing off with 2l second at Limerick off 87 (2m, heavy); Flat return at Roscommon was poor; well beaten in Kilbeggan handicap in July; may prefer softer ground. |

Showed progression in handicap hurdles late last year, finishing the year off with a 2l second at Limerick off 87 (2m, heavy); Flat return at Roscommon was not encouraging but may do better back over hurdles, although may prefer softer; new headgear tried. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Five wins on a variety of conditions, taking his form to a new level when winning the Class 3 Cartmel Cup (2m1f, good; 8-1) four weeks ago; competes from 5lb higher (up 21lb since February) but has shown (when fourth) that he can handle this sharp track. |

Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |
10/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |

Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

Comes here on the back of two good runs, getting up late for second behind a clear-cut winner at Roscommon and again very strong at the finish when second at Ballinrobe, having had to come wide; big run likely, especially if she can lie a bit handier. |
