11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Won three handicap hurdles last year at 2m-2m4f, including one here over 2m on good ground (later disqualified for banned substance); should strip fitter for first run back from a break at Listowel; not discounted. |

11st 1lb |
Won handicaps at Kilbeggan, Tipperary and Leopardstown from 2m-2m4f last year, though was disqualified from the first due to a banned substance; 9lb higher on return but has won when fresh so has to be respected, especially if strong in the market. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles is yet to score from 12 runs over fences; recent form is concerning, tailed off in a Down Royal handicap chase earlier this month and sixth of eight over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest. |
9/1 |

6th 2 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 6lb |
Four wins over hurdles including in this race last year off 110 (good); recent form over fences not too encouraging but she's better over timber. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

Four wins over hurdles and some of her early chase runs last autumn were promising; won hurdle over this trip at Ballinrobe and likes good ground, so better expected this time. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 60y |
11st 7lb |
Won off 10lb lower at Sligo (3m2f, good) in May; beaten 1l off 114 at Kilbeggan in July (20.5f, yld-sft) and just 1lb higher here; not beaten far at Perth latest and he has place claims. |
7/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since comfortable win in 15-runner Sligo handicap (3m2f, good) in June and was below form when well-held third in Downpatrick novice on Friday but has a big role to play if back on song here. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |
11/4 |

5th 10 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 1lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |
9/2 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 8lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a 2m4f Clonmel handicap last June off 111; some fair efforts in defeat since; fourth in a Clonmel claimer in February; has a squeak if back to best. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
10st 2lb |
Ran well over hurdles in July but well behind last time at Navan, that after a pull-up over fences; only 4-41 overall and opposable in a race of this nature. |
25/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Two disappointing runs over fences since placed in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan in July; probably vulnerable to younger and less exposed rivals. |
16/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Not at his best since second to the high-class Saint Roi at Galway last season; was promoted to 133 as a result of that display; now 15lb lower, showed signs of a return to form when third over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month; slightly disappointing at Galway this year but is dropped in grade now and is a course winner. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Lost his way in the winter but refreshed from a break he was a pleasing fourth at Killarney, finishing upsides shorter-priced stablemate Wholelotofbusiness; in the mix. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 5lb |
One of two for trainer; C&D maiden winner here last summer (good) and added a second hurdles win at Listowel (2m, good to yielding) next time when vanquishing Paul's Dream into a 3.25l second; form dropped off in three subsequent runs, including here; break needs to have done him good; remains 6lb above last winning mark. |
20/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |

One of two for yard; followed up his Killarney maiden hurdle win (16.5f, good) with a 3.25l win on handicap debut at Listowel (2m, gd-yld) off 109; disappointing run in a Killarney novice latest when well behind stablemate Wholelotofbusiness; forecast rain a negative. |

Maiden hurdle winner last October; has tended to struggle since; down the field at 40-1 over C&D on Wednesday; this is a weaker race, still hard to fancy; changed headgear combination. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Maiden hurdle winner in October but has really struggled for form since and no signs of a revival in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan 19 days ago; wears first-time tongue-tie. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
12st 0lb |
Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good) off 98; tailed off here on heavy back from a break in February and weak in the market here the last day when never dangerous; she's a player back in the 0-100 category now. |
8/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
10st 8lb |
Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good); probably in need of the run on course return in February; likely to strip fitter now; won here on her second start after a break last year; strong contender. |
