11st 8lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics had transformative effect when seeing him score back-to-back wide-margin wins at Clonmel and Fairyhouse on heavy ground at start of the year; pulled up at Clonmel in February but bounced back when third at Clonmel last month (2m, soft); better ground is a concern. |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 here (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) off 12lb higher; handicapper possibly caught up when pulled up at Fairyhouse (2m4f) but drop in trip should help. |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win here over 2m (heavy) off 12lb higher; raised another 13lb and steps up in trip and grade; clearly in fine fettle but may not get an easy lead here. |

Won at Down Royal last time in a tongue-tie, his second win over hurdles; 7lb rise looks plenty but still respected; handles soft so could be fine on this ground. |

Hasn't added to his maiden hurdle success for Liam O'Brien, but some good runs in defeat lately, including at Limerick last time when the winner raced on a faster strip of ground; a player. |

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner for Liam O'Brien (good to yielding) in 2024; mixed signals from his form for Gordon Elliott; never in the hunt at Kilbeggan last time after an early mistake; better judged on previous Bellewstown second. |

C&D maiden hurdle winner for Liam O'Brien (good to yielding); nothing since for this yard but good runs in defeat; runner-up at Downpatrick before falling at the fourth at Down Royal next time; again took the runner-up spot at Bellewstown last time; rising in the weights, but in the mix again. |

Promise in his first two maiden hurdle runs but was poor at Fairyhouse last time; still one to consider on handicap debut and the market could clarify matters as one of three for his yard. |

Dual hurdles winner with his latest win being a C&D victory in January last year off 87 (soft) for Paul Hennessy; best effort for current yard was when runner-up behind a well handicapped rival here on heavy in February; hasn't matched that effort since. |

Scored on second handicap hurdle start over 2m3f at Clonmel in March (soft) off 99 when dropped in grade; moderate on the Flat at Roscommon 12 days ago; this is a tougher task than his win but can't be dismissed. |

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. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |

Modest overall form over hurdles; has run twice over fences (fell on latest) since finishing in mid-field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Gowran in November; before that, not a bad run when seventh in a 19-runner contest over 2m at Punchestown. |

First of her two handicap runs in March was encouraging (sixth at Down Royal); failed to reproduce that form at Downpatrick; lack of a recent outing may be a drawback. |
