9st 0lb |
Dual-purpose; bolted up in Sligo maiden hurdle last month (2m2f, good); previously soundly beaten over this C&D (gd-yld), extending his Flat record to 0-11; 3lb lower now but others appeal more. |

Decent form near the end of the season before last, winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and placed in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; fair form in handicaps last summer; subsequent form raises doubts. |

Struggled on stable debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and is now 0-31 under all codes; difficult to enthuse over. |

Predictably struggled in good-quality Irish Flat maiden last month and is now 0-30 under all codes; has much more realistic assignment now back in a low-grade handicap hurdle for new stable but still makes only limited appeal. |

Beat Oh So Charming in a Wexford claimer in May but couldn't confirm that form under similar terms at Sligo last time; has to do more today to overturn that deficit. |

3rd 4 |
6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |

Grand dual-purpose performer has done a lot more Flat racing than hurdling in recent years; had Oh So Charming and Warm In Gorey behind when winning one of these at Wexford in May; 10l third to ready winner Raydamann over C&D the following month, and 4lb pull may not be enough to turn things around. |

11st 10lb |
Has shown promise at this venue on his last three starts; fourth in a claimer on final start for previous yard; well backed when third in a higher-grade handicap than this on stable debut, when wrong at the weights; second here 13 days ago; fair chance he can prevail in a rematch with third-placed Georginas Jet. |

Has shown promise over C&D last two starts; fourth in claimer on final start for previous yard and well-backed third in higher grade of handicap last month, when wrong at the weights; had placed form on testing ground in points; new headgear combination. |

Maiden in all spheres ran well enough in a C&D claimer last time; needs a fair bit more from 4lb out of the handicap; cheekpieces added. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Three-time hurdles winner, including on both Sligo visits; has been chasing and went close at Tramore on his penultimate start; strong contender here on the form that brought handicap wins over C&D and at Galway in the first half of last season; rider's 7lb claim an asset. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Three-time hurdle winner who has fared well in three starts over fences, beaten a neck by Kilbrin Rocco at Tramore 26 days ago; step up in trip and ground should suit. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdles winner; sound effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Downpatrick (20.5f, gd-yld) when a 5l third but tailed off on softer ground at Fairyhouse (2m) on latest in January; soft ground a concern on handicap chase bow. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 3f 0y |

Showed some ability in bumpers last year but hasn't built upon that over hurdles; a decent effort on yard debut at Galway but was tailed-off at Gowran since. |

30th Sep 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't built on the promise he showed in bumpers in early 2022; no improvement in handicaps but it was a step back in the right direction at Galway 19 days ago when beaten 8l on his yard debut; might have finished closer without a mistake at the last and entitled to come on for that first run of the campaign; could go well. |
