First reserve; three wins here in 2023/24 winter series, but no joy since and back from a layoff. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

10st 1lb |
Won over 1m/1m1f this summer, the latest here; still on a competitive mark judged on her close third here in August and that's without accounting for Reese Holohan's claim, but dropping back to 7f doesn't look a positive. |
16/1 |

12th 9 (9) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Gained reward for consistency when landing 1m handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown in July; raised a total of 15lb for those two wins and, despite a 3lb drop, might just be on the wrong side of the handicapper for now. |

Won at Killarney and over 1m1f here before third behind Tachos and Thrifty Of Digby over C&D latest; improving mare; might be vulnerable in a race that has attracted several smart 3yos. |

Has had plenty of rivals behind in staying handicaps and still early days; only beaten 6l at Down Royal last October, and around 14l on latest two starts; place claims. |

Lightly-raced 5yo is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Tullius; was a bit keen but kept at it when 6l sixth over C&D in October; tailed off on return, but will be fitter for it. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 8lb |
Got to within 19l of the winner at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last time, which was the closest he has gotten in five handicaps; weakened late on, so drop back in trip looks the right move but others make more appeal. |

Breakthrough win at Sligo last month came out of the blue; a young horse who may have needed time to mature; further progression is not out of the question. |

Point winner is 0-11 under Rules (0-7 over hurdles) and yet to trouble the judge; heavy defeats in three completed starts this year (over fences) and pulled up on last start over timber at Uttoxeter in July; hard to fancy. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Safely held at Uttoxeter in a 2m4f handicap chase and a 3m handicap hurdle last month; now 0-10 under rules; others preferred. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Safely held in 2m4f chase here last month and now 0-9 under rules; back up in trip and fitted with tongue-tie for this return to hurdling; considered only if lively in the betting. |

Modest maiden on the Flat and unexposed over hurdles; 2m maiden hurdle winner last summer and been running okay on the level this year; up in trip for handicap debut. |

Winning hurdler; went close in a Flat handicap at Limerick three starts back; last month's Sligo run does not inspire confidence. |

5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 56y |

Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |

14th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 95y |
10st 12lb |
Placed on the Flat for Jessica Harrington early in her career; belatedly opened her account when landing a maiden at Killarney ten days ago; had finished second in eight of her previous 11 attempts; has contested only two handicaps, something amiss at Galway when she was pulled up in a race in which Cleopatra's Needle was fourth. |
7/2 |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Placed on the Flat for Jessica Harrington early in her career; consistent but highly frustrating over hurdles, second in eight of her 11 attempts, including in four of five since May; towards the rear in a 1m6f handicap at Listowel; would not be a surprise winner but her profile makes it hard to be confident. |
13/8 |

13th 6 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |

0-7 on the Flat but had placed form for Jessica Harrington; has been knocking on the door over hurdles this year and could have a part to play. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance. |
