16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; dual hurdle winner is rated 123 in that sphere; fine efforts in both chase starts including when just behind stablemate Future Prospect at Wexford last time; her previous Killarney run was over 2m5f so this trip should be fine; big player. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; bumper and dual hurdle winner wasn't at her best on last two 2025 hurdle runs; returned from an absence with a sound chasing debut at Killarney in May; should be better for that and looks a big player. |

11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y |
12st 2lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe; useful five-time Flat winner for Andrew Balding; could make no impression when returning to Britain for the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot; no match for a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a novice hurdle at Roscommon three weeks ago. |

2nd 1 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 204y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark over hurdles on second start for this yard at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) in May; smart form on the Flat for Andrew Balding but came up short back on the level in a hot Royal Ascot handicap three weeks ago; top-rated here at 128; obvious chance on ground that will suit. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive for Andrew Balding last year, winning two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f, AW/good); went over hurdles last month for his new yard and won a maiden at Ballinrobe three weeks ago; could go well now back on the Flat. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Struggled on stable debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and is now 0-31 under all codes; difficult to enthuse over. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Predictably struggled in good-quality Irish Flat maiden last month and is now 0-30 under all codes; has much more realistic assignment now back in a low-grade handicap hurdle for new stable but still makes only limited appeal. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Grade 3 AQPS winner in France in 2023; took a while to deliver over hurdles last season; odds-on when opening his hurdles account in a 2m Tramore maiden at the sixth attempt; below-par at Roscommon in July before beating the useful Strong Link over this trip at Listowel; underlined improvement when second in last month's Persian War at Chepstow. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 6lb |
Wide margin winner of an ordinary contset at Wexford in March; mixed bag since and not done many favours by his jumping at Galway latest; small field and possibly slower gallop may help but more needed in any case. |
8/1 |

14th 7 |
31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 13lb |
Things haven't gone to plan since a wide margin beginners' chase win at Wexford (3m1f, soft) in March; unseated and pulled up in handicaps at Punchestown and Kilbeggan; also beaten in three runner novice chase at Punchestown (3m1f, gd-yld); a bit to prove for now. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |

Dual winner; no real match for Raglan Road in a three-runner contest at Punchestown last month; still relatively unexposed and not one to take lightly. |
