11st 12lb |
1-13 and rated 117 over hurdles; below best in that sphere in 2026 and moderate run in Flat maiden at Killarney on latest; best watched on chase debut. |

11st 12lb |
Recent efforts over hurdles a little underwhelming but earned a mark of 84 after three good runs in Flat maidens last year, including when third in this race; major player if able to run up to that form. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 6lb |
Ballinrobe maiden hurdle winner last August; shaped with promise at big odds in hot handicap at Punchestown on penultimate and 4lb lower now but needs to bounce back from poor novice hurdle effort at Wexford 18 days ago. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Second Tramore success when easily seeing off nine rivals in a 2m1f handicap (soft; first win was on good) on New Year's Day; the handicapper hasn't missed him but there may be more to come for his leading Irish stable. |

10st 4lb |
Reserve; improved effort when coming 13l clear in 2m1f handicap at Tramore (soft; both wins there) on New Year's Day; much higher mark here but he's low mileage and could progress again. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
11st 4lb |
Steadily improved in maiden hurdles to get off the mark emphatically at Tramore in August when winning by 9l as odds-on favourite (2m, good); ran disappointingly in a novice hurdle last time, albeit up against Davy Crockett, when finished last of five; capable of better on handicap debut. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Very smart performer on the Flat, including wins in the Ebor and Irish St Leger; has only run three times since 2022, two moderate efforts on the Flat and then won a 16.5f maiden hurdle here in May; off since and best form is on good ground so underfoot conditions a worry. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Six-time winner on the Flat including the Ebor and Irish St Leger in 2021; off nearly three years and has been a long way below his best in two subsequent runs on the level for new yard; interesting switched to this sphere and wouldn't need to transfer all of his Flat ability to be a factor on hurdle bow; market may provide clues. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 4lb |
By Camelot out of top-class racemare Annie Power; won his first three races last summer, a bumper and two hurdles, but the wheels have come off since; wasn't up to Graded level or smart handicaps in the spring, albeit easy ground was against him several times, and tipped up on chasing debut in May; King will fill him with confidence and has the ability to go close. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Looked a hot prospect when winning his first three starts last summer but progress has stalled; heavy defeats on last four runs over timber, though testing ground probably not ideal for three of them; return to sounder surface a plus, so can't totally discount for top yard. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 3lb |
Looked a smart prospect last year but has failed to deliver in three runs this term, although was highly tried in his first two runs of 2026; never figured on handicap debut at Fairyhouse latest; down 2lb and tongue tie now reached for. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; dual hurdle winner is rated 123 in that sphere; fine efforts in both chase starts including when just behind stablemate Future Prospect at Wexford last time; her previous Killarney run was over 2m5f so this trip should be fine; big player. |
2/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; bumper and dual hurdle winner wasn't at her best on last two 2025 hurdle runs; returned from an absence with a sound chasing debut at Killarney in May; should be better for that and looks a big player. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |
