11st 12lb |
His sole Flat win came at this track in 2024 and is now rated 71 in that sphere; lots of good efforts in 10 maiden hurdle runs including on comeback at Punchestown last time; penalised 8lb makes it difficult for him but should run well. |

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. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Decent bumper form and improved a bit on hurdles debut after lay-off to be beaten 1l into third by Figero at Kilbeggan 22 days ago for new stable, running on well; form of that can be questioned but he should step forward for that. |
12/1 |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 12lb |
Beaten under 20l in his two bumpers and again ran a decent race when a 21l sixth at Roscommon for his hurdling debut last August; makes stable debut now in a moderate race and his middling form puts him thereabouts. |
8/1 |

Both wins have been on the AW, including in March off 59; close third from a bad draw at Dundalk on Sunday, having 11 days earlier chased home Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse over this trip; has her chance again and good draw plus 5lb claimer booked. |

Made it four wins since joining this yard with a wide-margin success in a higher grade over 2m1f here nine days ago, achieved in little more than a canter; well treated under his 7lb penalty and he's versatile regarding ground; leading contender. |

All four maiden runs on good-good to yielding ground at 2m-2m2f; has shown ability but doesn't look obviously well-treated on handicap debut and the ground is an unknown; probably best watched. |

Half-brother to the talented Zanahiyr but didn't show much in a bumper or a maiden hurdle; a modicum of promise in his well-beaten fifth at Roscommon last time; can do better in time. |

Winless from nine but her best effort came in a maiden hurdle here last August when a 3l third (2m, good to yielding); quiet since, including when beaten 17l on handicap debut at Listowel (2m, yielding); needs more but maybe this track can bring it out of her. |
