4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; didn't quite get home on sole start at 3m over timber, so stamina to prove on chase debut. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 11lb |
Beat Theflyingbee by 0.5l when scoring at Clonmel in May (16.5f, gd-yld) off 14lb lower; added three-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon in June (2m4f, yld-sft); soundly beaten at Downpatrick twice since; may be in handicapper's grip and Kennedy on stablemate. |

9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 9lb |
Progressive for Gordon Elliott, winning three of five starts; handicaps at Kilbeggan and Clonmel and 3-runner 2m4f Roscommon novice; disappointing favourite however back in handicap over C&D in June when forcing tactics employed, fading badly once headed approaching the last in contest won by Malbay Madness; back from a break with questions to answer. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
His second run back from an absence when breezing home at odds-on in a 2m soft-ground maiden at Tramore; he no doubt has plenty more to offer; this longer trip should be up his street. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 6yo showed definite ability in bumpers for Dermot McLoughlin, notably in decent Navan contest (soft-to-heavy); returned from over year's absence for current yard last month when hooded in 2m Clonmel maiden hurdle, staying on third behind an odds-on shot (soft); hood left off here but rates a major contender. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Beaten favourite on racecourse bow when runner-up to Marlacoo at Down Royal May 2024; failed to build on that next time but fared better when beaten 7.5l into fifth at Navan 410 days ago in a good bumper won by Copacabana; first-time hood on hurdles debut and horses from this yard typically improve for obstacles. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in May but now 0-14 on the Flat, pick of recent form being Galway fourth (1m4f, soft); needs to settle better than at Tramore on latest, drops in trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win after eight Flat starts but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; solid effort over 1m4f at Galway last month (yielding to soft); two-day break possibly to blame when disappointed over hurdles back there last time; others appeal more. |
9/1 |

16th 20 |
1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
10st 7lb |
Yet to win on the Flat but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; might have been unsuited by soft ground when poor in a Roscommon novice last time; solid fourth on the Flat here on Thursday. |
25/1 |
