19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles at Clonmel in February; raised 7lb and came up short back there on latest, though the 2m3f trip may have stretched him; could go well dropped back in distance for his first handicap chase. |

No show in maidens; solid fourth on handicap debut at Listowel last September (2m, good to yielding); detached at Thurles next start; runner-up of 14 here in January, 23l behind an impressive winner; went one place better four weeks ago with a 7l success; 7lb rise is not particularly harsh. |

11st 4lb |
Huge odds but has run respectably in both maiden runs, saddle slipping at Roscommon last time; can't be ruled out but may be of more interest in handicaps. |

Didn't run badly for an 80-1 chance on hurdling debut at Roscommon but more needed. |

11st 2lb |
Worryingly below par in his last two races (bumper/maiden) but his seconds in maidens last August (one here) gives him definite hopes off this sort of mark; hard to dismiss. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |
11st 4lb |
Was runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford (2m1f) and here (2m5f) last August; beaten 5l on latter occasion by a subsequent Grade 3 winner; was poor in a bumper when last seen but is a big player if back to best form on return. |

Malinas mare; dam unplaced in points, out of unraced half-sister to 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Mister Friday; didn't count on Sligo debut 10 days ago when a 16-1 shot; may need more time. |

Malinas mare; dam unplaced in points, out of unraced half-sister to 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Mister Friday, is granddaughter of half-sister to smart staying hurdler What A Question; check market in weak maiden hurdle. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 5lb |
Handicap debutante; 2-7 over hurdles and made all to land a Grade 3 mares' novice at Down Royal on her penultimate start (2m1f, gd-yld); well beaten in mares' novice at Cheltenham on latest; needs to bounce back. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
A stablemate of Echoing Silence; strike-rate of 2-6 over hurdles wouldn't be in keeping with a typical winner of this race, and neither would the fact that she's already tried fences (0-2); however, she made all in a Grade 3 at Down Royal in late October (2m1f, good to yielding) and was determined in keeping Carrigmoornaspruce at bay; could run well. |

31st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
10st 10lb |
Point-to-point winner got off the mark hurdling in 2m6f Tramore maiden in August before switched to chasing, much the best of two efforts on latest when front-running clear second in 2m Fairyhouse beginners 20 days ago; likely fair bit to find back hurdling here. |

Casamento mare; dam unraced sister to 3m/3m3f hunter chase winner Now Ben, from family of high-class staying hurdlers Bannow Bay and Mighty Moss; too keen when well beaten on Kilbeggan debut last month (3m); best watched for now. |
