11st 12lb |
Off the mark when making all off 5lb lower at Clonmel on penultimate (2m4f, yielding); beaten off revised mark back there latest; ran respectably both previous visits to this venue and drop to 2m might suit; not dismissed. |

Best maiden run when third at Punchestown last June; little impact on handicap debut at Navan, better at Gowran in August; returned from a break to make all over C&D on yiedling ground a month ago; can remain competitive off 5lb higher |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 170y |
10st 0lb |
Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground. |

Flat winner; placed in three maiden hurdles early in his career; modest form overall in handicaps; Punchestown run in January was encouraging, not beaten far in fifth in a 16-runner event; fair third over 2m at Gowran last time, worth considering. |

Career has been punctuated by long absences; decent effort at Clonmel last time (2m4f, yielding) when left in fourth; this trip could bring improvement. |

Career has been punctuated by long breaks; coped better than most with very testing conditions when third of four finishers at Thurles (2m7f, heavy) last month on stable debut; two less encouraging runs since then; hard to assess, makes handicap debut. |

Career has been punctuated by long breaks; coped better than most with very testing conditions when third of four finishers at Thurles (2m7f, heavy) last month on stable debut; tailed off here 15 days ago (2m3f, soft to heavy); others bring more pressing claims. |

Point/bumper winner; reverted to hurdling at Clonmel on latest after two moderate runs over fences but in rear throughout; others are more appealing at present. |

11st 1lb |
Promise in three of four bumpers on good-good to yielding; another sound effort on good ground when a 10l second of 16 in a maiden hurdle at this venue last winter; absent since second in a maiden at Killarney last May; opening handicap mark gives her a fair chance. |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |

Back-to-back h'cap chase winner in October on good to yielding; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three recent runs over hurdles; probably wouldn't have done better than fourth when faller at Clonmel last time; has his chance again but inability to win over timber to date is worrying. |
