7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |
11st 7lb |
In receipt of plenty of weight from Qaasid when beating that rival in claimer at Clonmel in February; remote second in another claimer a week later; headgear removed for stable debut. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 |
4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
10st 6lb |
Won two points for Josh Halley; 15-2 for stable debut at Galway but tailed off; heavily supported at Navan 13 days ago when never a factor; cheekpieces are now reached for. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Won two point-to-points for Josh Halley; just 15-2 for stable debut in a handicap hurdle at Galway but tailed off; hood goes on now and well handicapped on best form, but that was in 2023. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 145y |
11st 12lb |
Hiked up 16lb for back-to-back wins at this venue and Limerick this summer (both 22.5f, good); twice unplaced before a fine second at Navan; two wins from three visits to this track, makes plenty of appeal. |
3/1 |

11st 4lb |
Hiked up 16lb for back-to-back wins at Clonmel and Limerick this summer (both 22.5f, good); held off revised mark the last twice and may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

11st 10lb |
Won a Limerick maiden hurdle last October and has been mostly consistent in defeat this year, including over this trip at Ballinrobe last time; can be involved if holding her form. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Hit form recently, winning over further at Wexford and Sligo; was a decent third at Galway last time back down to this trip; can go well off an unchanged mark. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |
11st 8lb |
Stepped up in trip to very good effect when winning handicap hurdles over 3m at Wexford and 3m2f at Sligo; up 15lb for that but in absolutely prime form and this testing 2m6f could suit him well. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 48y |
11st 3lb |
Useful form at a modest level over fences last season, second at Naas in December (2m, heavy) and bounced back from a below-par run with runner-up finishes at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) and Fairyhouse (3m, heavy); runaway winner in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April (3m, good) on stable debut; big chance despite 10lb rise. |
3/1 |

1st 18 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Consistent over fences recently; finished second at Naas in December (2m, heavy) and bounced back from a below par run with two runner-up finishes in his last two starts at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) and Fairyhouse (3m, heavy); makes stable debut back over hurdles off a 9lb lower mark, but may not be as effective over timber and ground also a question. |
