11st 12lb |
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. |

Maiden has run well enough in defeat at times but best efforts have been on soft ground so rain would help. |

Second in a Listowel bumper (soft) in 2024 on debut; ordinary hurdles form overall; fourth over 2m here six weeks ago was reasonably promising after a break; one for the shortlist. |

Chase winner at Tramore last year; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in June and shrugged off a lesser run there next time to be a solid fourth chasing last time; a player up 1lb. |

Chase win came in 2m6f Tramore handicap last year, more recently has been hurdling, notably 3m1f handicap win here; held off 5lb higher in similar contest a fortnight ago but interesting back chasing here off 3lb lower mark. |

Hurdle winner at Ballinrobe in 2025 got off the mark over fences at Killarney (2m7f) last time in ready fashion; raised 8lb but should be a major player again. |

First reserve; won off 2lb lower over hurdles at Ballinrobe in August (2m6f, good); remote second of five on chase debut at Kelso on seasonal return when none too fluent in the jumping department; hampered and unseated at the fourth flight back over hurdles at Kilbeggan last time. |

Maiden has posted decent efforts on two of last three chase starts, at Downpatrick and Wexford; needs more but down 2lb a help and blinkers are added. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 2lb |
Second in 2m1f maiden hurdle here last autumn but struggled in handicap hurdles; chase debut at Downpatrick (2m4f) was encouraging but didn't get home as well under a more positive ride here early this month at same trip; down in trip here. |

Took a while to find his feet but best effort yet when second of 15 at Down Royal's Christmas meeting (20.5f, good to yielding), keeping on well in closing stages; finished in front of Royal Time that day; big player after a break from 4lb higher. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |

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. |

Belatedly off the mark at Thurles in February in an amateur handicap chase (soft to heavy), winning going away on only his third run over fences; reverts to hurdles after pulled up at Limerick last time and record of 0-21 is off-putting. |
