4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Fine second on heavy in Irish Cambridgeshire here in March but has been disappointing since; has been tried at stakes level a few times, but has come up short; needs a revival. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Second to Ribee in the Irish Lincoln, and later highly tried in a Group 3 here; ran over hurdles at Galway, leading apprentice up, taking off a valuable 5lb; first time with cheekpieces. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |

Smart Flat sort has won twice and seems to stay 1m2f; a solid run in a Curragh Group 3 in April and now rated 101; has stamina to prove on hurdling debut but could be a player if jumping soundly. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Sole win in nine Flat starts came in 1m4f (good) maiden at Tramore a year ago; gambled on, narrow 0.75l second on stable debut in Chester Plate in May off 86; ran to similar level at Galway last time; could be a nice hurdling prospect. |

4th 9 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good first effort for this yard when narrowly denied in the Chester Plate (18.5f, good); led and weakened into ninth of 24 off this mark in a Curragh handicap on latest (1m6f, good); drops in trip now and cheekpieces go on; favourable draw. |
14/1 |

9th 5 (2) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return. |

5th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y |
9st 9lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; best Flat runs came on soft ground in the spring when second in a Curragh maiden over 1m and at Bellewstown over this trip; taken off his feet at Laytown last time over 7f; a return to his best can be expected with trip and ground in his favour; headgear now fitted and is the one to beat. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; twice runner-up on the Flat this season, over 1m at the Curragh in March and 11.5f at Bellewstown in April; latter form was shown in a good light by the winner Tim Toe when third in the Ascot Stakes; failed to see out longer trips on last two outings, but one of the more likely contenders. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
With Denis Hogan when winning a Tramore maiden (2m) in April; followed up on Flat on debut for this trainer and has since been runner-up twice on Flat and a good third of 12 in Class 2 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); unraced beyond that but no way is he ruled out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
With Denis Gerard Hogan when justifying favouritism in a Tramore maiden (2m, good to yielding) in April; joined this trainer the following month for £26,000 and has been kept ticking over on the Flat (form figures 122); noteworthy he's pitched into a Class 2 for GB handicap hurdle debut; interesting. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Signed off in Ireland with a maiden hurdle win; narrowly won over 1m4f at Kempton (AW) on yard debut before chasing home a clearcut winner over C&D; same mark here and could be vulnerable. |

22nd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Camelot colt ran okay on Gowran debut (1m2f) in April but two months later dropped out tamely (blowing hard) when upped in trip at Leopardstown (1m5f, good); back from a break on softer ground. |
9/2 |

19th Jun 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 180y |
9st 8lb |
Improvement likely from an initial run in fifth behind the useful Eastwatch at Gowran in March; may not match Carthusian, but worth noting that his jockey won this race for the stable last year. |
4/1 |

5th 10 (3) |
2nd Apr 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
9st 8lb |
Fifth foal; half-brother to multiple minor winner Pop Favorite; dam 7f winner by Oasis Dream, sister to French 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Naaqoos; relatively modest pedigree profile by the stable's usual standards; respected all the same. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Form figures for this trainer read 21221, well placed to defy the attentions of the handicapper; carries a 5lb penalty for last week's Kempton win (6f; made all, 7-4 favourite); highest on the shortlist. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

AW winner in March when trained in Ireland and has form figures of 2122 since joining this stable, the win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month off a 5lb lower mark than today's; remains unexposed over 6f and makes the shortlist. |

Ex-Irish gelding who's started among the favourites in three runs for this yard and remains unexposed as a sprinter; holds leading claims off the same mark as for last Sunday's Yarmouth second. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Middling runs for Ken Condon on the Flat; well behind in two maiden hurdles for current yard; unlikely. |

7th 6 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Two fair efforts in Flat maidens in April for Ken Condon and reappeared when soundly beaten on last month's hurdles debut at Killarney, having taken a keen hold; could come on from that. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Fair on the Flat when based in Ireland but had unconvincing record over hurdles against own age-group last season and has been absent since heavy defeat at Ascot in January; goes without usual cheekpieces on this handicap hurdle debut; not the most obvious answer. |
33/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off on the Flat in Ireland with 1m6f win last summer but showed only modest form on first two hurdling starts; was bumped and fell at first hurdle last time; fair bit to prove. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |

2-11 on the Flat in Ireland, with one of those wins coming last time out over 1m6f; that was off a modest mark and unlikely to be good enough to win a race of this nature on hurdling debut. |

In rear in the Ascot Stakes after a moderate run over hurdles; down the field behind Comfort Zone at Galway; won over 1m4f at last year's Galway festival; showed good form on soft ground last autumn, winning twice, including over this trip at Down Royal. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
A heavy defeat over hurdles five weeks ago was his only race since October; however, he won three of his four starts once equipped with this headgear on Flat last July-October; the furthest of those wins was 1m5f and he was well beaten trying 1m6f, but it may be rash to dismiss him as a stayer, given he's brother to Magellan Strait who won the 2023 Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f) and half-brother to Lagostovegas who won this race in 2018. |
