Dual French hurdles winner showed some ability in his AW starts but just a moderate run back from a break at Killarney in July when a distant third; back over hurdles now with another break to overcome; interesting that Jack Kennedy rides as he is 1-1 for this trainer. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |

Maiden ran well to chase home a clear winner over C&D on last month's handicap debut (soft) but ran no sort of race at Galway 15 days later on similar ground; cheekpieces now tried. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner has run well in defeat in maiden hurdles this year, including over C&D; below form in an Aintree handicap last time, but this isn't as competitive and he is one to consider. |

11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner; placed in three of four maiden hurdles at up to an extended 2m1f in Ireland this year but doesn't strike as being obviously well treated from an opening hurdle mark in the mid-120s. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 105y |

Three-time Flat winner returned with blood at both nostrils when pulled up at Tramore on hurdling debut; eyecatching third at Thurles next time when rallying and keeping on well; 8l second at Leopardstown early this month; room for improvement in his jumping. |

11st 9lb |
Won this last year by 12l off a mark of 95, beating Targa Flavio and also scored on the Flat here in June; poor Flat run since but likely to be ripe for his double bid and a big player even off 12lb higher. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |

Won on the Flat over 1m4f at Tipperary last year and over hurdles at Listowel; raised 10lb for winning well on the Flat over 2m at the latter track last time; this trip is fine and a player. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Maiden produced much less encouraging runs last summer after a good 1m6f Gowran effort ; made seasonal return over 1m4f here last timr when 4.25l behind in eighth (denied a clear run from 2f out); others more appealing. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

Likes it here, landing a second course win, again from the front for Gina Mangan, over C&D six weeks ago; was allowed his own way that night and this is more competitive if anything but he holds claims upped a fair 4lb. |

Versatile tactically; off the mark over 2m here in December and ran well in three of four starts since; the exception was 1m6f but he's one to consider. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive 1m6f Flat winner in Ireland last summer for John Joseph Murphy; is going very much the right way in this sphere too for her new yard, comfortably making it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m juvenile at Newbury in December; this demands plenty more but she shouldn't be underestimated after a break. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
9st 10lb |
Consistent this season except for one poor run when she had an excuse (reported blowing hard); trip-versatile sort, won over 1m4f in May and has been placed at distances between 1m1f and 1m6f; handled an ease when second of 16 over 1m6f at Galway festival. |
6/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 14y |

In fine form this season, placed at Tipperary and Ballinrobe then won at Roscommon (1m4f, good); raised 6lb and runner up back at that venue over 10.5f two weeks later (winner went close here on Monday); ground may have been too soft upped to this trip latest; could bounce back. |

Improving sort won over 1m4f at Roscommon and the extended 1m2f trip might have been too short there since; raised another 2lb but has to be respected again. |

0-16 on the Flat; best effort over timber came in a 2m maiden hurdle here last year but was still beaten 13.5l in that contest; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and best watched. |

Regressive Flat maiden wasn't beaten far on hurdling debut last year before falling; will be better suited to handicaps. |

Maiden's best efforts have been over much shorter trips; tame recent Killarney effort doesn't augur well. |
