Bagged his second win on turf at Limerick in April (1m4f, yielding) off 44; failed to add an elusive win over obstacles in two starts since, although he placed over hurdles at Punchestown; could go well and has won off 1lb higher before. |

10st 1lb |
Maiden in ten runs but has threatened to break it the last two times when runner-up at Gowran Park (9.5f, soft) and Limerick (1m4f, yielding); unlucky last time having hit the front and nailed on the line; up another 3lb but ground will suit and can go close again. |

Best effort yet when a 1.25l second of 14 at Gowran (9.5f, soft) on seasonal return; shaped like this longer trip would suit and is a player off just 1lb higher. |

12st 0lb |
Out of sorts for his handicap hurdling debut at Punchestown in October when last seen over timber but has previously finished runner-up in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); Flat return at Limerick when third was encouraging for his chances here. |

Promise on first two runs of the season for John O'Donoghue on yielding and soft to heavy; another decent effort when a 4.25l fourth on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yld); good ground is a query, should go well if acts on it. |

9st 7lb |
Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when winning at Navan (1m5f, good) last month and only narrowly failed to follow up at Bellewstown five days later, getting caught on the line over 1m7f after forcing it; up a total of 12lb for those efforts so more needed. |

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when always well positioned and winning at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago; 6lb higher now but rider's 2lb claim partly negates that; consistent sort is a big player again. |

Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Clonmel in May and Punchestown last month; failed to match that form at Wexford last Friday; interesting that he makes a quick reappearance with Colin Keane booked; turf Flat form is modest but not without a chance if reproducing last winter's best AW form. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |

Modest on the Flat but has shown an aptitude for hurdling; runner up in both completed starts at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld) in May and Punchestown (23.5f, gd-yld) 26 days ago; in between those runs unseated early at Kilbeggan; big player. |

2nd 3 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 116y |

0-18 on Flat but promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel when staying on well to take the runner-up spot despite suffering interference (2m4f, good to yielding) and the winner easily followed up next time; unseated at the second when saddle slipped at Kilbeggan; worth another chance, although trip is an unknown. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
9st 7lb |
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas (1m, yielding) over two years ago; promising seasonal comeback second at Navan in March (1m2f) but 1m4f looked beyond her at Limerick last month; back to probably her optimum trip. |

No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas in April 2024 (1m, yielding); back on song with a 2.5l second at Navan (1m2f, heavy) on seasonal return (Church Mountain 3l behind); worth another go at this trip on that evidence; chance. |
