8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Unplaced in six starts but his best efforts have come at 5f; too keen over 6f last time and now tried with first-time hood and tongue-tie; not ruled out back at his preferred trip if the new headgear does the trick. |

10st 3lb |
Lightly raced maiden caught the eye on recent handicap debut at Tipperary, staying on from well off the pace to finish fourth behind Skillman Ave under considerate enough handling; longer trip and stiffer finish should suit and no surprise if he pushed that rival close here. |

Lightly raced and unexposed 3yo entering handicap company; okay runs on both maiden albeit they don't justify current mark; may yet improve and this looks a weak race, even for the grade. |

Won four times in Britain for Ed Bethell; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season; failed to land a blow at Newcastle three days ago; the jury is out at present. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning. |

Is 1-24 with the win coming at Tipperary last season (5f, good) off 68; mark in freefall since but no sign of a revival; 10lb wrong. |

Won over 5f at Tipperary and second over 6f at Fairyhouse last summer when with Gavin Cromwell; very little so far for this yard and mark in freefall; few quid for him at Navan last weekend where he didn't shape too badly. |

9st 5lb |
Best run by far a 3.25l third on debut at Naas in May 2024 (6f, good); nowhere near that level since, though was showing signs of being in season on handicap debut and seasonal return latest; hood added to tongue tie; watch. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Cork (6f, yielding) last September when trained by Gavin Cromwell but she was placed in competitive events last year; ran a solid race at Ayr (6f, good) three days ago and holds claims if backing that up. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark in 6f handicap at Cork (yielding) last September; has been placed in big-field handicaps at 6f and 7f for this yard in 2026 and although below best when last seen in June she shouldn't be out of this, especially if the ground deteriorates. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

1-13 with the win coming at Cork in September (6f, yielding) off 60; some positive placed efforts this term at Navan (6f, heavy), Listowel (7f, good) and most recently at Fairyhouse (6f, good); latest run can be marked up because slowly away and was waiting for a gap in the straight; in the mix. |

Transferred his excellent AW form (4211) to turf when second over C&D six week ago; chance in this company is underlined by his victory over Jordan Breeze at Dundalk in April; shares a consistent recent profile with that rival and Alnofoor. |

Won over this trip on AW at Lingfield and Dundalk the last twice, his only wins; has run well at times on turf including at this course; has to do more but has to be considered. |

Both turf wins have been at Tipperary though ran well over C&D last summer; showed more than he has been of late back at Tipperary latest although has a bit to find with a couple of these on that form. |
