15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Rattled in a hat-trick at Thurles at 2m5f-25.5f last winter, going up a cumulative 41lb; came up short off revised mark at Kempton (3m, gd-sft) when last seen in February; needs to resume progress after break. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
A major improver since joining Emmet Mullins, winning twice over hurdles in the autumn and now arrives here on a four-timer over fences after three wins at Thurles (2m5f-3m1f); tackling a different level of opposition now but Sean Bowen rides off a feather weight and he could be dangerous. |

Former winner for Michael Hourigan is having a very fruitful season, with back-to-back good to yielding hurdle wins (2m6f/2m7f) in September/October before disappointing at 11-10 at Clonmel next time; reverted to fences at this track for back-to-back wins off a much lower chasing mark most recently; things may be more difficult now following 15lb hit for easy win last time (3m1f, yielding). |

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle in May (3m, good) off 84 and placed twice since then; made a positive chase debut at Wexford (2m4f, yielding) in April when third off this mark, but pulled up at Tramore next time after making a bad mistake; could go well. |

Finally off the mark at 19th attempt over hurdles when landing 3m Punchestown handicap a fortnight ago (good), making all in beating Ballinaboola Gold 1.5l (pair clear); 6lb rise for that and meets that rival on 3lb worse terms. |

Sole hurdles win came here, under regular rider, last summer, and placed three times over flights later in 2025; only had three completed starts over fences, best of them his Downpatrick second to subsequent easy winner Dinoland over nearly 3m; early exit last time; this trip seems closer to his optimum. |

Runner-up at Tramore and this venue this time last year, both races over 2m on yielding ground; a long way below her best in outings in August/September, including at Listowel where several stablemates excelled; returned to form when going close against a well-backed favourite at Clonmel; leading chance with a reproduction. |
