Won for the second time over hurdles when taking a 3m Galway handicap last August; however, is 8lb higher today in a stronger race and has to be at his best on return. |

11st 11lb |
Won a 2m maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in 2023 for Tom Gibney; needs to improve on this year's handicap form and he is not certain to get this trip as effectively as some of these rivals. |

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy for Gavin Cromwell last season; pick of five attempts chasing when outstayed late on by a well-handicapped rival in 2m7f Limerick handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); not so good following month at Navan and given a break since; ground likely on the quick side. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
One of three for trainer; dual French hurdles winner is yet to score for this yard but has run well in defeat at times, including when runner-up at Punchestown on chasing debut (2m3f, soft); returned from over a year off at Cork (2m1f, yielding) when 23l fourth behind better-fancied stablemate; makes handicap chase debut now. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
The most experienced chaser in the field but is 0-9; beaten 11.5l off 125 in Navan handicap chase (2m4f, heavy) when last seen in December; goes well fresh but best form on good ground so wouldn't want to see much rain. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |

Dual hurdles winner is now 0-8 chasing but some good runs in defeat, including 2m6f Listowel handicap; no match for 15l winner The Enabler in Fairyhouse novice on latest but remains of interest back in handicap with cheekpieces now tried. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 2lb |
6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |
5/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Bumper winner landed a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in February (2m4f, heavy); raised 7lb and has struggled in two starts since, including when 6.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme here (2m4f) on latest; moves up in trip now; more needed off this mark. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Galileo gelding out of the very talented Vroum Vroum Mag was beaten at short odds in a bumper at last year's festival and absent until ready winner of 2m5f Roscommon opportunity maiden hurdle early this month, tending to jump left; back in trip here and part of a really strong Willie Mullins' team here. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Useful juvenile hurdler the season before last; best run last term when fifth off 130 in 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas; tailed off over 3m1f on chase debut, but he's definitely not a two-miler either; headgear. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |

No joy since Leopardstown maiden hurdle win in December 2024; poor form in that sphere last season and not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding; others appeal more. |

A maiden in 18 starts, four over fences, but put in three fair efforts over fences last year, most notably when second to Hit The Frame at Wexford, before being pulled up at this track over hurdles 177 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap off basement mark here but could go well. |
