1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden winner on the Flat last year (good) coped well with testing conditions on seasonal return when second at Naas but form petered off afterwards; back from a break however in good form to score on hurdles debut for new yard in Cork maiden last month on good ground, travelling well to win with a fair bit to spare (second beaten favourite since); should go well. |

Maiden winner last year ran well in defeat many times after up to 1m1f; could go well on hurdles bow; this yard also houses the horse who beat Bridezilla at Ballinrobe last time so market strength would be a pointer. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien; 0-4 over hurdles for that yard but came good on stable debut (same ownership) with a narrow win over 2m here last month (good to soft); he would have won easier but for a late mistake; there are some stamina concerns over quite this far. |

1st 12 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat winner at the start of his career but failed to progress in juvenile hurdles last season after a promising start; also well held back on the Flat at the Curragh six weeks ago (final start for Joseph O'Brien); more than capable of making his presence felt in a race like this if putting his best foot forward but starts out for a new yard (same owners) with a point to prove. |

14th 7 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Looked potentially smart when landing C&D maiden in November 2024; didn't reach heights expected in four starts in Group, conditions and handicap company last season but had a couple of good runs over hurdles in recent months; acts on soft and big-field handicap could be right up his street. |

10st 7lb |
Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in two juvenile hurdles at Ballinrobe since going close at Limerick in June; has an edge over Faire La Nouba who has been placed on his two most recent Flat starts. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
10st 7lb |
Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 0lb |
Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 0lb |
Now 0-10 over hurdles, placed twice; probably his best run when second in a C&D maiden in April; unplaced since in a handicap won by the in-form Malbay Madness who runs in the following handicap on the card. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |
6/1 |

2nd 16 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |

Has performed okay in modest 1m5f handicaps this year; runner-up in a maiden hurdle and heavy ground was against her in two handicaps; not dismissed. |

4th 2 (11) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Best effort yet on the Flat when a 3.75l sixth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) on return from 139 days off, denied a clear run (1.5l behind Eastern Wind); sharper for that, same mark here and should be thereabouts with smoother passage. |

6th 4 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |

Poor form over hurdles on winter ground; showed promise when a long-priced second of 18 over 1m2f at Fairyhouse last June; on the same mark now. |
