16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 4lb |
Very promising start when a close third in valuable Fairyhouse bumper (2m, sft-hvy) in April 2025; not seen again until a 4.5l fourth of five back at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in January; now steps up in trip for hurdling debut after another absence with Townend up; could go well. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner; off mark at second attempt over hurdles in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in May (good), following month tame enough effort in handicap over same C&D; back from a short break and tries a new trip. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner; off mark at second attempt over hurdles for this rider in 2m3f maiden here last month (good); that form has taken a couple of knocks but can't be discounted dropped slightly in trip for handicap debut. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive form over shorter, winning a maiden over an extended 2m at Kilbeggan (good to yielding); weakened over 2m4f next time and then ran poorly at 3m; strong form claims if he can prove himself over this far. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
10st 13lb |
Hooded for the first time when beating 12 rivals in a 2m6f maiden at Tramore (good) and got pestered up front when beaten 5l in a 2m2f novice here a month ago; should give his running and might not be far away back up in distance. |
4/1 |

7th 2 |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 6lb |
Left previous ordinary form behind when winning a Tramore maiden hurdle 15 days ago (2m6f, good) in first-time hood (retained); handed a rating of 102 for that; raider claims 7lb but whether this sharper test will suit is debatable. |
