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. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
10st 9lb |
0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in four of last five starts; runner-up at Navan last time upped to 2m6f, not staying as truly as the winner; up another 2lb for not winning but should be thereabouts once again. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 180y |
10st 7lb |
0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in three of his last four starts; beaten 8.5l when runner up over 2m4f (sft-hvy) here last month; should be in the mix again off 1lb higher but has room to improve in the jumping department. |

Decent chance based on his third placing at Fairyhouse over 2m4f in November and fourth over the same course and trip on New Year's Day; in between appeared not to stay 3m when unplaced favourite at Punchestown; |

11st 5lb |
Represents last year's winning yard; 1-10, the win coming in 2022 at Roscommon (16.5f, good) off 10lb lower; stays this far and shaped ok at Punchestown on latest, staying on over 2m (gd-yld); could go well back up in trip. |

Sole win came back in 2022 (2m, good); lightly raced in recent seasons, managed a good second in 3m Navan handicap chase in February 2025; has been running over longer trips than this over hurdles, well below best on latest. |

4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Point and maiden hurdle winner in 2024 hasn't really kicked on from that good start; however, wasn't beaten far at Navan last time over 2m4f and can run well if staying this trip; cheekpieces on. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |

30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 185y |
11st 12lb |
One of two for yard; point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner; highly tried on latest in a Listed mares' hurdle at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) and came up short; return to a sounder surface and switch to handicap company offer hope of a revival; not discounted. |

One win from 20 starts over hurdles; that win came over 2m4f at Punchestown on heavy ground in February last year off 78; good effort when third of 24 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) but way below that level at Navan; a little hard to trust. |

11st 5lb |
Dual winner over hurdles, landed handicap 29 days ago off 102 decisively by 5.5l; two runs over fences, distant fourth in good beginners' chase at Thurles before runner-up in Listed mares company, albeit well held; big run anticipated back up in trip. |

Naas maiden winner was well held in handicap next time and has switched to chasing both starts since, chasing home a clear winner in 2m6f Thurles Listed mares' novice in February; interesting back hurdling here |

More than two years since his last win; has dropped to a 5lb lower mark now; gave signs of a revival when a remote third at Limerick on latest. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 128y |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

Chase winner last winter; has struggled in two handicap hurdle outings this season and was pulled up in a handicap chase at this venue at Christmas; needs to show some sign of a revival before becoming a betting proposition again; on a positive note, he has a good record at this venue, two wins and three seconds from nine races here. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |

Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |
25/1 |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |
