2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
In good form since returning from a 956-day absence, reeling off a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle win before a comfortable debut beginners' chase success at Kilbeggan last time (2m4f, yielding) with Ho My Lord 7.5l behind him that day; he should handle this step up in trip; he is lightly raced and there is likely more to come. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up in first two hurdle starts in 2022; returned from mammoth break at Limerick with a reasonable fourth; well fancied at Ballinrobe last time (2m7f, good) when duly obliging with a winning margin of 13l; goes chasing now and there could be more improvement in him. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 218y |
11st 6lb |
Runner up in first two starts over hurdles but those were in 2022; back from mammoth layoff with a respectable fourth at Limerick (2m1f, good) in May; this longer trip is more suitable; top rated at 111 and the one to beat if backing that last run up. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Well beaten on latest hurdling start in April and has performed well in only one of his four subsequent chases, when second in Kilbeggan beginners' event (2m4f, yielding) two starts ago; ought to be suited by today's move back up in trip but has some questions to answer. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
No success yet over fences and is beginning to look well exposed, the addition of cheekpieces (replaced here by blinkers) failing to bring improvement the last twice; declining mark but hard to fancy, although better ground in his favour. |
14/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Cheekpieces are reached for following underwhelming run behind Ocean Of Mercy at Kilbeggan latest when 7.5l behind off level weights; may get closer now but in general 10 chasing runs have been middling. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
Is 0-9 chasing but a couple of placed-finishes; okay runs this year and his 7.5l fourth off 128 in a handicap around here last time was one of his best (3m2f, good to yielding); sets the standard on ratings. |

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. |
14/1 |

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. |

11st 1lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner for Willie Mullins in 2023-24; failed to add tom her tally for Paul Kiely last year and off since an okay run at Navan in February; worth a market check on first run for Harry Kelly. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; ran well in a Clonmel novice chase in December but poor in three starts following that, including when beaten 35l in a Thurles handicap last time (2m2f, soft); needs to come back to her best. |
6/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 0y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; also second for the champion trainer in a beginners' chase last May; best run in six chase starts for this yard when third in a Clonmel novice handicap; out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' event here last month; of some interest in this grade. |

Modest strike-rate of 1-26 under rules and tailed off in five runs before pulling up on his last two outings; difficult to fancy. |

Sole success came off 7lb lower at Kilbeggan (24.5f, yielding) in September 2024; well below best last three starts (including on chasing debut most recently) and this trip looks too sharp for him. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Has shown some ability in maiden hurdles but poor efforts in two chases and on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick (2m5f, heavy); cheekpieces go on but others more likely. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

Poor in two chases lately but has shown a hint of ability in four maiden hurdles; can do better in this company with blinkers added. |
