28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 0lb |
French bumper winner; 4yo won easily on handicap bow at Fairyhouse in February (16.5f, heavy); came up short off 14lb higher back there on latest when 1lb wrong and similar story here; would probably prefer softer ground. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark in 4yo C&D handicap in February (heavy) and better again when a clear second to a strong favourite in 2m1f Limerick conditions event last month on similar ground under today's rider, conceding plenty of weight; 1lb wrong but could go well off light weight. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Fair third at Punchestown on Irish debut in November, with In The Minus back in fourth; modest efforts on next two starts before coming good with an emphatic Fairyhouse handicap win last month; raised 11lb to a very respectable 128. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit several times over hurdles, including twice at this track and is ground-versatile; should be closely involved. |
9/4 |

3rd 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 0lb |
Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 5lb |
Recent hurdle runs have been disappointing; ended last Flat season with a good 1m6f effort, taking second behind the subsequent Fred Winter winner Saratoga at Listowel. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Useful staying handicapper on the Flat (rated 91); let down by jumping on hurdles debut (before brought down); much improved to land Punchestown maiden in January, jumping much more fluently and responding well to pressure to collar the hot favourite; flopped when well fancied at Naas last month. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner (7f) on good ground at Limerick last summer; has been error-prone over hurdles; best effort when winning at Galway last October; fit from a recent Flat outing at this venue; not suited by the race conditions. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (12) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
10st 1lb |
Limerick win last summer came over 7f (good); similar level of form hurdling (won Galway maiden), jumping has let him down of late; unproven over this far. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Off the mark over hurdles in a Galway maiden at the fourth attempt in October (2m, yielding); failed to build on that at Punchestown; well held by Mode Avion on that evidence. |
