Some promise in bumpers/maidens but offered little on switch to handicap at Leopardstown (14-1). |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Second in a point; modest enough over hurdles, but would have needed latest run in Punchestown handicap where he ran well to a point; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers on chase debutant from decent family. |
12/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 116y |
10st 9lb |
Some fair runs in maidens and heavy ground probably to blame when well-beaten joint-favourite on handicap debut in January; back from a break. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Some decent runs in defeat over hurdles recently before sent chasing over an extended 2m3f here last time when well beaten behind Saunton Surf, albeit keeping on; more needed. |
13/1 |

8th 2 |
22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 99 over hurdles; promising fourth in Leopardstown novice handicap hurdle (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March before lesser effort at this venue; respectable fourth of 15 at Cork (2m3f, good) 12 days ago; 0-2 in points but bred to be a chaser; player. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Promising fourth in a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (2m3f, soft to heavy) before a lesser effort at Downpatrick, when fifth of ten (2m2f, yielding to soft); others more likely. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner early in her career and has been overfaced several times since in both bumpers and over hurdles; this is more realistic but she was beaten 15l in a handicap last time; tried in a combination of headgear. |
16/1 |

9th 15 |
17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
10st 8lb |
Won a Thurles bumper in November 2023; lightly raced and set some stiff tasks since in winners' bumpers and more recently, after missing all of 2025, in Grade 3 races over hurdles; this is much more realistic. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

No sign of winning potential in three maiden runs at 2m-17.5f; tongue tie now goes on; seems safe to rule out on return from 119 days off. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 105y |

10st 11lb |
Dam a three-time hurdles winner but jumping issues evident when detached at Navan on debut (sent off 150-1); others preferred. |

No match for the easy winner of a bumper when runner-up at Bangor last summer on debut for John McConnell but her conqueror did at least follow up next time; first run for Noel Kelly after a layoff; market will guide on hurdles bow. |
