Maiden was runner-up at Down Royal over Christmas but was poor on return at Limerick in May so has to rebound. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 12lb |
Hurdles winner here in 2025 and proving a better chaser this summer, winning twice in 2m7f Killarney handicaps with some ease under hold-up tactics, most recently last month off 90; in between decent second at Roscommon on soft; up a further 8lb but rider takes off 5lb; major player, especially if ground doesn't worsen. |

Hurdle winner at Ballinrobe in 2025 got off the mark over fences over C&D last month in ready fashion (good to yielding); raised 8lb but was best of the rest when chasing home an easy winner at Roscommon last time (2m6f, soft); up 1lb more but should be thereabouts. |

Sole chase win came over C&D in May 2023 off 86; well-supported in first-time cheekpieces (retained) for his return from a 758-day absence at Roscommon, where he was a creditable third of 13 (2m6f, soft); entitled to improve over that; chance. |

Sole hurdle win came in January 2022; cheekpieces tried on first run since July 2024 and debut for a new yard; best watched unbless the market suggests otherwise. |

Showed a bit in bumpers last year; never on terms when keeping on for sixth of 12 finishers at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); down 1lb and he's well treated based on his early form. |

Maiden stayed on well for third over C&D in June; bounced back from a moderate Wexford effort (2m4f, good) with an okay sixth of 13 back there next time (2m, good); blinkers worn at Roscommon (2m6f, soft) last time when beaten 26l have been abandoned. |
