31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 200y |
10st 0lb |
Second runner for yard; course hurdle winner won at Gowran in January and ran well here last time; was poor when last seen over fences though, so questions to answer in that respect. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer. |
6/1 |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |
11st 13lb |
Useful bumper form in 2023, second at Listowel, beat a Gordon Elliott-trained favourite at Down Royal; fell on hurdling debut last May and failed to make much impact in three subsequent maiden attempts; third over C&D at Christmas suggests he is getting the hang of things (subsequent winner Marelly back in seventh); can win a race of this standard. |

Third reserve; stablemate of Let Him B; well handicapped judged on last week's hurdle win at Clonmel; could be much too good for these rivals if getting a run. |

1st 9 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |
11st 1lb |
Has a very patchy profile but would be a player judged on his penultimate third at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); looked held when brought down two out at that track three weeks ago; market will reveal expectations. |
11/2 |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |

Not a bad effort on handicap debut after long absence when fifth at Thurles in November; unseated, brought down next two starts; tailed off at Limerick before a much-improved display at this venue four weeks ago. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Best effort for this yard when second behind a well handicapped winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February; reverts to chasing now (won over fences for Emmet Mullins in the summer of 2024); others preferred. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |

Had been struggling to find his best form since joining this yard before an encouraging second behind a well handicapped winner at Clonmel in February; failed to build on that in two subsequent starts. |

0-17 but has run okay at times; 6l fourth of 14 at Limerick (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time was positive but best form is on softer ground. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 13lb |
Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 128y |
10st 2lb |
Two of his three hurdle wins have come at this track with the latest last month and not a bad effort back here last time; hasn't run over fences in a while but would have a squeak on his best efforts. |

11st 12lb |
Close up in a 2m handicap hurdle at Limerick (soft to heavy; first-time tongue-tie) before finishing well behind on his chase debut back there 11 days ago when an early mistake didn't help his cause; could have a part to play if avoiding similar mishaps. |

Maiden's best efforts have come at this track over hurdles, headed on the run-in when third here last month (2m); pulled up sole point outing; stamina to prove on chase debut. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
10st 0lb |
Took a step forward over hurdles when third at Clonmel in March (2m3f, soft); well below that over fences at Tramore next time; headway into midfield when falling two out in Kilbeggan hurdle latest. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 154y |

Took a step forward in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Clonmel (soft) on latest, outpaced and rallying for a 7l third; way below that level over fences at Tramore last time (2m, yielding). |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

One of three for yard; took a step forward in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Clonmel (soft) on latest, outpaced and rallying for a 7l third; drop back to this trip for her chase debut is not an obvious move on that evidence. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |

Posted several decent efforts in defeat over the winter including over C&D; solid enough Clonmel effort early this month so remains of interest. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |

Has posted several decent efforts in defeat over the winter including over C&D; was below form at Cork last time but this softer ground should suit better. |
13/2 |

8th 19 |
19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 20y |
10st 11lb |
Placed on her last three starts, twice at Clonmel before finding one too good at Limerick last month; good chance of exploiting a modest handicap mark even though she's now rated in the 80s. |
8/1 |
Verdict
A third placing over C&D at Christmas gives rise to hope that BIG DEE (nap) can return to something like the decent form he showed in bumpers. The penalised Marelly could pose a threat, and at the other end of the handicap Wild Wild Wind does not need to improve much to open her account. Uptaurintop has place claims. [Alan Sweetman]
