Something amiss when tailed off in a 2m4f chase at Limerick in May; had previously won a 2m handicap hurdle in testing conditions at the same venue. |

Goes chasing off the back of a handicap hurdle win here last month off 80 (2m, soft to heavy; fine on good), keeping on well to lead at the death; should make a chaser; interesting contender. |

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. |

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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |
10st 12lb |
Maiden who has some decent placed form, most notably at Limerick (2m, soft) in April when beaten 1.75l into third; well-held third last twice, including over C&D; step back up in distance should suit; usually ridden off the pace. |
13/2 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Maiden who seems to handle any ground, placed on heavy at Limerick in the spring and third over 2m4f at Kilbeggan last month on good ground; not sure if drop in trip will suit but respected. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Now 0-16 hurdling but one of his best efforts came on latest (after nearly four months' break) when only losing second to Cool Summer over this trip at Ballinrobe 18 days ago (good); one for the shortlist. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |

A couple of encouraging efforts last season after returning from a long absence, notably when fifth of 24 at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); soundly beaten when filling the same place at Kilbeggan in April. |

A couple of encouraging efforts since returning from a long absence, notably when fifth of 24 at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy); another positive effort when a 7.75l fifth at Limerick latest (2m, soft to heavy); should give a good account once again. |

11st 2lb |
Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding) on handicap debut; a few indifferent runs before coming back to form with a solid fourth at Ballinrobe in August; clear of the others when second in a five-runner contest at Ballinrobe later that month. |

Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding); back to form with solid 2.25l fourth of 14 here over 16.5f (good) on latest; has weakened late on both previous starts at this sort of trip so stamina a concern. |

Shock winner at Cork in April (2m, yielding); mid-field off revised mark at Limerick later that month, when testing ground may not have suited; unplaced favourite in a novice contest at Downpatrick; moderate run at this venue last month, jumped untidily at times. |
