19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 45y |
11st 5lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Limerick in October (3m, soft) but pulled up at Navan next time following a 9lb rise; much better at Limerick before another below-par run at Punchestown; stays well; might benefit from the addition of cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
12st 4lb |
Was running a big race when falling at the last on sole point start; fourth placings in maidens at Down Royal and Tipperary represent fair form in this grade; strong trainer/rider combination. |

14th May 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Was running a big race when falling at the last on sole point start; the best of three maiden hurdle runs was when beaten 17l last time after a break at Fairyhouse (2m4f); can come on from that and get closer over a trip that should suit. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Showed some potential in 3m maiden hurdles at Cork in April/May; found 2m too sharp at Listowel after a break; not without a chance back over a staying trip for handicap debut. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 40y |
11st 9lb |
Best effort in maidens his last one, a 13l sixth of 14 at Navan (2m5f, yielding); opening mark of 107 could be workable on that evidence (split 113 and 110 rated rivals); not discounted on handicap bow. |

Placed in three of his last five chase starts, most recently when third behind Munster National hopeful Pride Of Place at Listowel; stays well and is likely to be competitive. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 180y |

Continues to run well now and again but he's 8lb higher than for his last handicap win over fences and looks vulnerable. |

Rebounded from fall at Punchestown with a 6.25l third at Killarney (behind Jeu De Pic); remains 8lb above last chase win and may be in the handicapper's grip right now but still has a place chance. |

11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner whose form slumped in Britain last winter; low-key stable debut at Listowel in June was followed by a fall at Killarney; never in the hunt at Listowel festival; trainer appears to have a better chance with Meehall. |

C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
10st 4lb |
One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

Three wins all at 3m, most recently at Listowel festival in 2023; back down to competitive mark on evidence of clear second over same trip at Limerick in October; following month in contention when brought down two out at this venue; well beaten fourth on yard debut at Clonmel. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Bagged his second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last year off 93 (2m3f, yielding); made satisfactory return to action back at Kilbeggan in June when a distant third (2m4f, good) but never involved there the following month (2m3f, good to yielding); capable on his best day. |

Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount. |
