29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner; took a long time to open her hurdles account, winning in good style at Thurles in January on her 17th attempt; not a bad run in a Navan conditions race before putting a blot on her record when pulled up in Fairyhouse race won by Katie Daniels; first reserve. |

Bumper winner is 1-18 over hurdles with the victory coming off a mark of 100 in decisive fashion at Thurles (2m4f, heavy) in January; ran a nice race when fourth in a Listed novice at Navan last time (2m4f, heavy); don't rule out. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 8lb |
Consistent gelding; placed on all four starts off a lower mark over hurdles since a handicap chase win off 98 at Listowel in September (2m4f, good to yielding), form has worked out well; back over fences now on his first run since January; never runs a bad race. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
11st 10lb |
A market mover when an 11.5l fifth here in May and was 11-2 when brought down early next time; he's a better chaser than hurdler, but that's reflected in his marks. |
6/1 |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 10lb |
Attracted heavy market support at Cork last time (2m3f, good) but could only manage fifth; punters likely attracted by now 19lb lower hurdles mark, but dual chase winner is yet to match that form in this sphere; may want softer ground than this. |
7/1 |

5th 13 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Much improved sent chasing last season, winning twice (including here); sent off favourite over hurdles at Thurles and fences at Leopardstown when below best; again couldn't take advantage of significantly lower hurdles mark here last time (2m1f, yielding) when tailed off; attractive mark but clearly risky. |

1-35 over hurdles with the win coming at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); some placed efforts over fences following that but tailed off over hurdles at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); hard to be confident in given her overall profile. |

Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f, good, OR 77) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f, good, OR 75); disappointed off his new mark in a 3m1f chase here 13 days ago when last of four and tailed off in the four-runner field; needs to bounce back. |

0-9 over hurdles but good runs in December for James Hannon when a close third at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) and runner-up at Limerick (2m3f, soft to heavy); poor in final two starts for former trainer; still going okay when unseated at four out over fences on stable debut at Limerick; chance at his best. |
