2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Has been chasing, pulled up on latest; 1-33 hurdles record is a significant negative but he has a decent record in place terms; course winner over fences two seasons ago. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 2lb |
Two chase wins; went close at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); twice placed from three visits to this track; shaped quite well for this when fourth at Limerick ten days ago on first run after a break; made a lot of the running then, every chance with fitness advanced. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner, including here (2m2f, good to yielding); went close off 1lb lower at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); lacks a recent run but goes well fresh; a drying track would enhance his chance. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 4lb |
Both hurdle wins have come on good ground; off the mark at Limerick in April last year (2m3f) and went in again at Tramore in August (2m5f) off 5lb lower; jumping issues evident at Tramore in October and soft ground against him at Clonmel last month; interesting back on his preferred surface with a run under his belt. |

Off the mark in Limerick handicap last April (2m3f, good); failed to complete next three starts before narrowly scoring at Tramore in August (20.5f, good); jumping issues evident at Tramore when last seen; prefers better ground. |

9st 11lb |
Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

2nd 4 (4) |

16-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level in two runs since returning from a break, the latest over fences; more needed. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 7lb |
Two wins last season included one here over 2m7f (yielding) off 4lb lower; has also won a chase here and is 2-3 at this venue; should be sharper for latest run after break over an inadequate trip, but probably not much wriggle room off this mark. |
20/1 |

8th 12 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |

In good form before a winter break; useful sort, but has a definite preference for longer trips; four-time winner in points, most recent of five tracks wins was gained over 2m7f. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |

0-10 over hurdles but has shown glimpses of ability; now 15lb lower than when a remote fourth at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) in March; not a bad run at Tramore latest and this shorter trip might suit; may outrun likely odds. |

12st 0lb |
Comfortably doubled his hurdle score when winning at Hexham (2m, good) nine days ago, escapes a panalty for that success and Tom Midgley can claim his 3lb allowance here; another bold bid looks likely. |

Sole win over hurdles came at Kilbeggan last year and some decent runs in defeat since; however, was poor on return at Punchestown and tried to refuse then unseated rider last time at Limerick; risky. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

No wins from eight but the best of those runs came at this track in a maiden on her penultimate start when a 9.25l third of 10 (2m6f, good to yielding); never featured when stepped back into handicap company at Cartmel last month (2m6f, soft); place-chance. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 7yo; well beaten when upped to 3m1f for handicap debut in May but fared much better when third in Tramore maiden (2m6f, good to yielding) last time and further progress is possible on this handicap return. |

Yet to trouble the judge in seven runs over hurdles; went close over fences at Sligo in October (3m2f, good to yielding); tailed off at Thurles in October; pulled up back from a break in a Ballingarry point-to-point in May (evens fav'); others preferred. |

Sent off at 7-2 and duly produced an improved effort when beaten only 1/2l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo a month ago; hood now added to usual tongue-tie; should go close for trainer who hit the target in a handicap chase at Clonmel last week. |
