11st 11lb |
A wide-margin Flat winner here in 2025 got off the mark over hurdles on return at Cork last time, still showing greenness; a 13lb hike is plenty but has to be considered with more to come. |

Record of 1-22 on the Flat, winning good-ground 1m4f Tramore handicap last summer; four maiden hurdle runs have offered little but they were all on heavy ground so possibility of improvement on handicap debut here back on good ground. |

0-6 over hurdles and rated 94; good chance he'll make a chaser on breeding and in very good hands; market check advised. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |

Showed glimpses of promise in maidens but has been poor in two handicap starts; can't be ruled out from this top yard but a tongue-tie will have to make a significant difference. |

Some promise in two maiden hurdles in 2024 but was disappointing when favourite on return at Tipperary early last season; pulled up on handicap debut last August; absent since; from a top stable, so not ruled out |

Regressive over hurdles this year but more encouraging run a week ago at Downpatrick off career-low mark, only losing second late on over 2m2f behind a clear winner; same mark but more needed to play a major role. |

3rd 5 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Regressive over hurdles this year, well beaten over C&D on latest; last win came over C&D in August 2025 off 8lb higher so is well treated if finding his best. |

Regressive over hurdles this year; 11l fifth of 14 at Tramore last time (2m1f, good to yielding) was one of his better efforts; others more likely. |

Handicap debutante sent off at long odds and showed very little in a trio of maidens at around 2m1f; steps up in trip (should suit on pedigree) and is worth checking in the market. |

Off for almost two years after winning at Thurles in 2022; returned from another long absence with mildly encouraging effort at Kilbeggan last month; entitled to improve for that and worth a market check off career-low mark. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |

0-5 over hurdles and his two runs in handicaps when last seen in this sphere in April/May were not encouraging; some positives in his Flat form this year, but his 27l defeat at Tramore last time was not one of them. |

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of his nine Flat starts; not beaten that far in a Naas handicap latest (1m3f, good) when a shade keen early; eased 1lb and now wears a hood and tongue tie; could go well if settling better. |
