16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Dual-purpose veteran; four-time Flat winner (once over C&D in 2018); hasn't been pulling up any trees over hurdles in recent times; made little impression over C&D four weeks ago; others preferred; cheekpieces. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-24 over hurdles, the last win coming off 3lb higher at Cork in November 2024; hasn't looked like taking advantage of sliding mark recently and fell on latest at Punchestown; needs a revival. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Maiden has run well in defeat at times up to 2m4f including at this track; has to find improvement for this step up in trip but could do. |

5th 7 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has hinted like his turn is near the last twice; kept on well for a 2.25l fourth over 2m3f at Naas on latest so this extra furlong could eke out more and he's gone well here before; leading chance. |
9/2 |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 180y |

Best of her five handicap runs have been on better ground; took third in a Wexford handicap in August (2m5f, good to yielding) and decent sixth at Thurles in November (2m, good to yielding); stayed on to take the runner-up spot behind an 11l winner over C&D last time (2m3f, yielding); cheekpieces go back on now. |

Won off 14lb lower on last run over timber at Fairyhouse in December; last two runs in chases, unseating at Tramore and well beaten at Thurles; could rebound returned to this discipline. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 198y |

Showed much-improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month (2m4f, soft); detcahed when unseating his rider on 2m chase debut at Tramore on New Year's Day; step up in trip should help; cheekpieces. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |
12st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner last November and good form since, placing three times; 3.25l fourth at Clonmel earlier this month when last seen (2m, soft); still lightly raced and this ground shouldn't cause problems; claimer takes lessens her burden. |
4/1 |

Point-to-point winner in November; in good form for this yard since, placing in three of her four starts, headed in the dying strides when second of 22 at Cork a fortnight ago (2m1f, yielding); her worst run of late was at this track. |

Some Flat ability in Aga Khan colours and changed hands for 11,000 euros in November; went off big price for hurdle/stable debut over C&D in July and an even bigger one at Roscommon last time when both times tailed off; hard to fancy. |

Five-time hurdles winner at 2m on decent ground, including on reverting back from chasing at Tipperary early this month, having been left in front two out (having looked likely winner); up 7lb but still some way off her career-high so obvious respect. |

Veteran's sole win came at Gowran in January 2022 for Conor O'Dwyer; signs of life this season, especially on latest when runner-up of 16 at Clonmel (2m3f, soft); each-way possibilities from the same mark. |

Placed in all three completed starts in 2m handicaps, including when no match for easy winner at Naas (Deise Crystal fourth) last month; hood tried on that occasion is now left off; look yard's main hope and should be thereabouts again. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Twice beaten favourite in handicap hurdles in December before rectifying matters in a 2m3f contest at Limerick's Christmas meeting; sent straight into handicap company over fences at Punchestown nine days ago; recovered from a bad mistake at the 11th and had the race in safe keeping between the last two; bolted up, big chance despite a 15lb rise. |
