6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Pulled up in the Ulster National (3m4f, soft) in March but he was runner-up in two chase handicaps at Musselburgh (2m4f/2m7f) before that; now returns to hurdling but he's 3-8 in this sphere and is on a dangerous mark on this drop back in trip and grade; one to keep an eye on. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 12lb |
Mixed form in 2025; ran his best race for a long time when going close at Musselburgh on New Year's Day (2m4f, good to soft); again finished second over 2m7f at that venue last time; main positive is his good record at this venue, two wins (bumper and maiden hurdle) and a second from four visits. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |

Mixed form in 2025 but ran his best race for a long time when going close here (2m4f, good to soft) under Dylan Kidd on New Year's Day; kept on strongly last time and he's run well on soft ground in the past; could be a player now back up in trip if backing up that latest performance. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 12lb |
Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

Eight wins in all codes and in varying ground conditions; not a bad debut run for this yard over hurdles and on the Flat since; is respected in this company. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 141y |

Veteran won this race for Noel Meade five years ago off 81 and last win came on Dundalk AW in February 2022; fair AW form last winter for the late Kevin Prendergast, reappearing for current yard when placed in 2m5f Sligo handicap hurdle last month; retains enthusiasm so can't be ruled out; first-time tongue-tie. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 1lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |

Sole win over hurdles came in a 2m4f Clonmel handicap last June off 111; some fair efforts in defeat since; fourth in a Clonmel claimer in February; has a squeak if back to best. |

Five-time winner including two here over 2m; scored over 2m4f at Cork in November; well below that level in three starts since but could rebound now dropped into this grade. |

Won his fifth race over hurdles at Cork in November (2m4f, yielding); unfancied and struggled off revised mark in two runs following that; needs to return to form. |

Third foal; half-brother to bumper winner Lionnar; dam unraced sister to winners Level Neverending (useful bumper/2m3f hurdle) and Kalopsia (bumper/1m4f Flat/2m hurdle), half-sister to useful bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle winner Lunar Display; well-bred newcomer and no surprise if he proved difficult to beat here. |

Fell two out in a claimer last time at Clonmel; his third placing in a handicap at Ballinrobe in August offers some hope; disappointing when favourite at the same venue on his next start. |

Record of 2-18 over hurdles; soild efforts in three starts in this sphere this year (pulled-up in a chase); has to do more on these terms but could run well. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |

Bumper winner; won his second race over hurdles when scoring over a slightly shorter trip than this at Limerick last October; a solid fourth at Listowel on return before things went wrong on chasing debut at Tipperary; soundly beaten third at Wexford a fortnight ago. |
