Sole win in 22 starts came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden in 2023; placed in a maiden hurdle 12 days ago but that's modest form and hadn't threatened in his previous Flat handicaps before that. |

Bumper winner rated 95 after five runs over hurdles; pulled up in that sphere on latest; beaten 35l on sole Flat start at Galway last July when 66-1; others make more appeal. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Bumper winner on debut in 2022 and best effort since when third in a maiden hurdle here last month; not sure to be suited by marked drop in trip and has a bit to find on form. |

11st 2lb |
Point winner off the mark under rules at Fairyhouse in October off 6lb lower (2m, yielding); held off revised mark twice since, though may have needed latest; step up in trip needs to unlock further improvement. |
14/1 |
|
9th 7 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Point winner; well beaten in a bumper and three maiden hurdle outings; left previous track form behind to win at 50-1 over 2m at Fairyhouse last October on handicap debut, with today's rival The Border Boy back in third; unplaced at Clonmel 12 days later and given a break; one for the shortlistt. |

12st 1lb |
Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and a Galway handicap over 2m last year; some good chase runs in defeat since, including here; can improve from return effort; major step up in trip, but a player if staying. |
9/1 |

7th 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
12st 2lb |
Dual hurdles winner last season at Galway and Ballinrobe on goodish ground; creditable efforts in opening two chase runs but tailed off on handicap bow at Navan when last seen in December; may need this return. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 169y |

Milan gelding; closely related to 2m7f hurdle winner Just A Whim; dam 2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m hurdle winner Dromlease Express and 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Aunt Nora, out of bumper winner; may want a bit further and yard 1-25 in bumpers last five years. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (2m2f, good) last month; this is tougher off 5lb higher but he seems versatile trip-wise and he still has potential; respected for in-form yard. |
11/4 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Placed in five of his eight runs over hurdles without looking particularly progressive; in good heart though and looks sure to win a race such as this; place claims at least. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Placed several times, including off a mark of 101 in Musselburgh handicap (2m4f) most recently; just an ordinary maiden and faces a stiffer task on these terms. |

12st 0lb |
Carried the good cheer of a successful spell on the Tapeta back across to hurdles at Fakenham latest (3m, good), winning as he pleased; 8lb rise looks about right, and has stamina to spare down in trip. |

1st 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

Likes it here, landing a second course win, again from the front for Gina Mangan, over C&D six weeks ago; was allowed his own way that night and this is more competitive if anything but he holds claims upped a fair 4lb. |

10st 13lb |
Stepped up on her bumper form when an always close-up second on hurdling debut at Tramore (2m1f, yielding) in April; jumping has let her down both outings since however, departing early each time; bit to prove now. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 169y |

Stepped up on her bumper form when a long-priced second on her hurdling debut at Tramore; 12-1 unseated rider at the first at Kilbeggan; could feature in a weak race. |
