11st 10lb |
Won a bumper last August (2m3f, good) and a Kilbeggan opportunity maiden hurdle in September (2m3f, good/yielding); nothing like as effective since then; improved ground and cheekpieces may be a help. |

Irish raider who won a bumper in August (2m3f, good) and a Kilbeggan opportunity maiden hurdle in September (2m3f, good/yielding); not so good since, over 3m at Cheltenham on first occasion and with a tongue-tie over 2m6f last time; tongue-tie left off here; interesting. |

Glimmers of ability in four point starts; outran his 50-1 odds at Cork on rules debut when finishing a 4l third of 18 (3m, good); only faded into third late that day, so drop back in trip may help and a repeat of that run would put him bang there. |

118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Midfield finish on bumper debut at Wexford; tailed off in two of three maiden hurdle runs, okay effort at Downpatrick when a 6.25l fourth of six (2m6f, good), sandwiched between two poor runs; little to recommend him other than the yard he hails from. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Sent off 2-1 favourite for bumper debut at Wexford when a disappointing 13.5l seventh; tailed off over hurdles here following that (3m, good to yielding); better at Downpatrick last time when a 6.25l fourth; can improve again, but others bring more pressing claims; one of two for trainer. |

Has posted several fine efforts in maiden hurdles, notably when second at Kilbeggan over 2m2f (saddle slipped too); wasn't as good back to 2m at Roscommon since but this step up in trip should suit; big player. |

Some solid maiden hurdle form on good ground last summer; produced in good shape at Kilbeggan last month after a break; saddle slipped before the last, and he was worn down in the final strides despite his rider's best efforts; good run in the circumstances; leading chance. |

Progressive for new stable since the autumn, collecting four wins (2m-2m1f, good-heavy) along the way; below form when tried over 2m5f last week (no headgear) but was fourth in last month's Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces; refitted today) and is now 2lb lower. |

Interesting he was still staying on into fourth (about 23l ahead of Letterston Lily) at the end of a generously run Summer Hurdle last time, though remains untried beyond a sharp 2m4f; 7lb higher mark than for June's easy 2m1f win here leaves him with almost nothing in hand. |

Unbeaten for Aidan Melia; made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles since June when scoring twice at the Galway festival; has gone up an aggregate 39lb and now bids to avail of the 73 Flat rating obtained as a 3yo; has a solid Aga Khan pedigree, so the trip should be within his range; Derek O'Connor booked. |

Thriving since joining current yard, making it 3-3 when scoring in emphatic fashion over C&D on Monday, despite taking a keen hold; hit with a 13lb rise for that so up an aggregate of 29lb since joining the yard; Conor Smithers has ridden him on all three wins and maintains the partnership here; big player. |

Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator. |

Dam is an unraced sister to top-class 2m1f-3m hurdle/chase winner More Of That and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Eastlake; appeared in need of a stiffer stamina test on debut at Tramore (2m, good) three weeks ago when a 14.5l fifth; that is only modest form but there should be more to come; trainer also runs North Moon. |
