28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler and some good efforts over fences before getting off the mark here last month over 2m, defying top-weight when asserting from last for comfortable 1.75l win over Chosen Shant (who hit the last); 5lb worse off with that rival here but can confirm the form over this longer trip. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler and although 0-8 chasing finished second in this race two years ago and went close on a few occasions last year; going okay when unseating three from home when back chasing at Thurles when last seen in November; may need this but goes well here so worth consideration. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |
11st 2lb |
Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |

2nd 12 |
31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |

Won a novice handicap chase at Sligo (17.5f, gd-yld) early this month from 5lb out of the handicap; narrowly denied in follow up bid at Tramore (15.5f, yielding) off 3lb higher; up another 2lb and this is a deeper race but she's in form and this trip suits; go well again. |

Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle here in 2024 (good); was chasing last season and finally got a win in that sphere at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, good to yielding) off 96 but pulled up at Wexford last time; Mickey Cohen appears to be the stable's best chance. |

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade. |

Won off 3lb lower at Thurles (18.5f, yielding) in November; struggled on next three starts but step in right direction when a 5l third of seven at Wexford on latest (15.5f, good, jockey dropped whip after two out); eased 1lb and this longer trip more suitable. |

Won a Wexford handicap hurdle for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87, and first success since came in a 2m4f Limerick handicap chase in May (good to yielding) off 6lb lower; disappointed as favourite when attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark at Cork last time (2m1f, good); not ruled out now back chasing. |

Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including 2m handicap chase in June, before chasing home Farrokh in similar contest, having fluffed the last; not so good back hurdling here on latest but has to be respected on overall record here. |
