11st 7lb |
Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |
3/1 |

Winner of seven races including three this year; those three wins have come in handicap chases, including a 3l victory at Limerick (2m3f, yld-sft) on latest off 109; rated 103 in this sphere and 2m is fine so can't be discounted on return to hurdling. |

Stays much further but handled drop back to 2m when landing Naas handicap hurdle in December (soft to heavy); second past the post at Thurles early last month, disqualified after his rider weighed in light; leading and appeared set to win when falling at the last at the same venue three weeks ago; raised 4lb; could be hard to beat. |

Winning chaser; stays much farther but handled drop back to 2m when landing handicap hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) on penultimate start; trip-versatile and relatively unexposed over fences; 8lb higher than when winning over 2m5f here in October.. could be in the mix. |

First reserve; three hurdle wins have been at Limerick but also won 2m5f handicap chase here last summer; absent since pulled up over fences at Limerick's Christmas meeting so may need this. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Has been running over fences, exploiting an initially favourable mark (84); handed an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded after a mistake at the last at Listowel; won again at Galway, scoring by 5l to earn promotion to 104; sound prospects now off just 5lb higher than winning 2m5f event here 12 months ago. |

Dual hurdles winner was poor at Wexford in April off 4lb higher (2m4f, good to yielding) but rebounded over fences back there last time when a distant second of 11 (3m2f, good to yielding); can't be ruled out but others are more appealing. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Front-running 7yo who brings impressive stats, being 3-5 since joining new yard, 3-4 since dropped to 2m and wearing cheekpieces, 2-2 since returned to chasing (Perth double) and 3-3 under Oakley Brown; should make another bold bid, despite taking a 9lb hike for latest win. |
