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. |

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. |

Got off the mark over hurdles when winning a 3m handicap at this track last time; chasing debut today but did run well on sole point start, so has to be considered. |

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

5th 7 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

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. |

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. |

12st 0lb |
Point winner who is 0-11 over hurdles but, since returning from a break in March, she's performed well in three out of four handicaps; solid contender provided she takes to the new hood. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
12st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner last November and was in fairly good form following that until weakening quickly and being pulled up at Kilbeggan last time (2m3f, good to yielding); took a 3.25l fourth over 2m here (soft) on penultimate; in the mix if bouncing back. |
5/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 50y |

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. |

First reserve; weak form last year; a revelation at Clonmel last Friday on his first run for this stable; won with plenty to spare and would seem to have an excellent follow-up opportunity under a mandatory penalty if he gets a run. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
