11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (Kilbeggan) last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May and solid run from out of the handicap at Listowel; favourite but never travelled when well held on chase debut in Tramore handicap last month, so definite concerns. |
