6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Admirably consistent handicapper who didn't run too badly when midfield in the County Hurdle last month; however, this is a step up the ladder for him and regular rider Jack Kennedy evidently prefers the chances of The Yellow Clay. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Big improver in recent months, winning strong 2m Leopardstown handicaps at the Christmas meeting (yielding) and at the Dublin Racing Festival (heavy); will need to improve again to complete a hat-trick of big-field successes but that can't be ruled out in his current mood. |

Steady improver put up his best effort when winning over C&D last time; is 8lb higher in a tougher race so will have to progress again, but is possible he could do so. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Dual novice winner (including here over 2m) last year; best effort in 2025 a neck second at Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) on penultimate; didn't back that up off 7lb higher at Newton Abbott latest (pulled up); talented on his day but difficult to predict. |

Launched hurdling career with two 2m wins in novice company last year and was close second on handicap debut at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding) this month; could have untapped potential over this longer trip; commands respect. |

Three-time hurdles winner was back to form when runner-up at Listowel in June but tailed off at Bellewstown following that; got loose at the start and was withdrawn at Galway last week; mark still looks on the high side. |

Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |

Flat winner; took his second hurdle race when scoring at Tipperary in July; not a bad Wexford run after, poor at Killarney on next start; addition of tongue-tie seemed to have a positive effect when second at Fairyhouse just over two weeks ago; 5lb claimer rode last Sunday's Munster National winner. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |
