Has finished runner-up on his last 2 outings, most recently in a 16-runner handicap at Limerick (1½m, good to soft) towards the end of April. Drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue and this lightly-raced sort is threatening to come good soon.
|
In good heart when last seen, making the frame on 8 of his last 9 starts (left Denis Hogan before penultimate). Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m) when last seen in February, though needs to prove he's as effective on turf.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2025. Placed twice at Dundalk this year but only tenth of 15 back on turf at Leopardstown (1m, good, 12/1) 27 days ago.
|
Shaped well on several occasions last season and first-time cheekpieces eked out a little progress when scoring on return here (1m) in April. Respectable fourth of 18 in handicap (11/4) at Cork (1m, good to soft) 48 days ago. High draw is a concern this time.
|
Step back in the right direction when third of 15 in handicap at Killarney (1m, good) last month but failed to back that up when tenth of 15 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good, 9/2) 11 days ago. Blinkers now back on.
|
Back on track when third at Gowran in May but below form ninth of 16 in handicap at same course (1m, good to soft, 6/1) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|
Holding form well on all-weather prior to Christmas. Mid-field in 3 starts over hurdles this spring but not ruled out now back on the level.
|
Came in for a very good ride and returned to form from out of the blue when winning a 15-runner handicap at Killarney (1m, good, 33/1) 30 days ago. Far from certain to back that up from 4 lb higher.
|
Second to an impressive next-time-out winner on nursery debut at Naas and backed that up when very good second of 15 at Gowran (7f, heavy) a month later. Ran poorly under less testing conditions at Fairyhouse on return, though.
|
Won at Naas in 2025 but has largely been below form since, so looks hard to fancy.
|
No sign of ability in maidens and looks opposable again making handicap debut after 153 days off.
|
First run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Difficult to recommend.
|
Thirty four runs since last win in 2023 and he was only fourteenth of 16 in a handicap at Gowran (1m, good) 10 days ago.
|
Being kept busy but returned to form with the race run to suit when fourth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 50 days ago, never nearer. Still lightly raced in handicaps and could well improve now up in trip.
|
Poor maiden that hasn't made much of an impact in 4 handicap starts, completely missing the break at Gowran last time.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
|
Attracted support and showed improved form when fourth of 12 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. Has handy draw here and could well do better again.

Bottom-weight RODEO BLUES produced an improved effort on handicap debut last time and it'd be no surprise if she built on that again for the Joseph O'Brien yard. Khormor Syd and Nephin Mountain can complete the 1-2-3.
