4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 6lb |
Hurdles and bumper winner off the mark over fences when justifying favouritism in a beginners' at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) and the runner-up won next time out; stamina for this longer trip is a big query, however. |

11st 12lb |
Placed in both chase starts last year; second behind Downmexicoway at Killarney and a 5l third behind Birdie Or Bust at Listowel; 9-2 for handicap chase bow at Punchestown on seasonal return when fell early; probably the one to beat if that hasn't dented his confidence. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |

1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination. |

11st 12lb |
Front-runner has not totally convinced with his jumping on his initial runs over fences despite finishing second last twice; can get away with it over these small fences and sure to give a good account from the front. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences. |

Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was returning from a 745 day layoff at Wexford 13 days ago when making his chase debut and was in the process of running a cracker before falling at the last; sharper for that and can go well once this doesn't come too soon. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Winning hurdler and unexposed over fences; showed some small improvement when third in a Roscommon handicap chase four weeks ago; more needed but far from impossible. |

Is 1-10 over hurdles and rated 104; two runs over fences; beaten 23l in a handicap chase over this C&D in January off 105; remote third behind progressive Shadow Paddy at Killarney latest; needs to improve plenty on those efforts to take this. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
By far the most talented of these over hurdles (rated 140) and he jumped accurately before tiring on his chase debut at Kilbeggan over 2m4f; nowhere near as good dropped back to 2m (good) at Wexford on latest and questions to answer now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Smart five-time winner over hurdles and ran well in two useful handicaps in May; 3-1, jumped well out in front before tiring on chase debut over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; could be hard to beat over this trip. |
5/2 |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start. |

Point winner has only had six runs under rules; promising Kilbeggan chasing debut but not as good twice since; however, can do better again now entering handicaps. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Winning pointer rated just 90 over hurdles but was an encouraging 6.5l third on his chase debut, keeping on over 2m4f (yielding) at Kilbeggan and earning an RPR of 117; weakened when upped to 25.5f back there latest and now drops markedly back in trip; this may be too sharp a test. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |

Returned from the point-to-point circuit to run a decent race in a beginners' chase over 2m4f here last month; likely to stay well and could run into a place. |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles and never sighted on comeback run last month in Roscommon beginners' chase; into handicap company here and best watched. |

Third reserve; not a bad run at Gowran on penultimate (2m4f, yielding) but didn't back it up at Galway on latest (3m, yielding); more needed back in trip. |

Is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 99; ran to an RPR of 111 when a 13.75l fifth of 11 on his chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good), fading late on after making most of the running; worth a go at this shorter trip on that evidence; place claims. |

Dual hurdles winner on good ground rated 99; ground to suit, but lots to find with several of these now switched to fences. |
