11st 12lb |
Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |

Dual-purpose winner won his last hurdle race over C&D last October; ran a solid race from the front to be third to Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time; 3lb better off and cheekpieces added; chance. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-winning hurdler has been super consistent generally; runner-up twice this season, at Galway (2m, good to yielding) and in a Listed event here (2m4f, soft to heavy); rewarded with a win at Leopardstown over Christmas off 115 (2m5f, good to yielding); had a rare blip off his revised mark at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time when beaten 16l; place chance if bouncing back |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
Got his first hurdles win at Listowel in September 2024 (2m2f, soft) and has been remarkably consistent in his runs since, placing in five of his seven subsequent starts before gaining another deserved success at Leopardstown last time by a nose to Hgranca De Thaix (2m4f, good to yielding); up 6lb but he always acquits himself well. |

2m4f Listowel festival winner last year on handicap debut last year; not far off his best form when placed in races at Limerick (2m) and Naas (2m3f) on his final two starts before a summer break; could make his presence felt if fit and ready now. |

Beaten under 7l in two of his handicaps and off a lower mark now, so if the tongue-tie can trigger a revival, he could run well. |

Maiden ran well at Galway and Limerick in final two runs of 2025 but hasn't matched those efforts the last twice; beaten 19l when sixth at Cork latest; new hood needs to eke out more. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |

Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in April 2024; no joy since but latest Galway fifth (2m, gd-yld) in October his best since joining this yard; dropped 3lb and sports a tongue-tie for return; could run into a place if fit. |

Second runner for yard; has dropped in the handicap a fair bit this year but got back on the scoresheet in winning a Sligo claimer last time; has to be respected again off a low weight. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |

Sole hurdles win came over a year ago at Clonmel (2m4f) off 111; tried several times in claiming hurdles this year, notably C&D second in May, reportedly found to have blood in nostrils last month when just fair fifth in Downpatrick handicap; has to be treated with some caution but down to a nice mark. |

Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences. |

Nice pedigree and shrewd owners; first time to be a single-figure price when second to subsequent winner at Clonmel where he was staying on over 2m3f; probably wants to go this way, so given a pass for Killarney sixth. |
