Opened account at the 11th attempt when dead-heating at the Galway festival; met trouble in running at the Curragh; capable of better. |

Opened account at the 11th attempt when dead-heated at the Galway festival; got away with a 3lb rise, could be in the mix again. |

Maiden has run well enough on two of last three starts, notably in a 1m claimer at Killarney last time; needs more up 4lb for that run and blinkers are added. |

Sole success came in a Roscommon claimer in August (10.5f, good); heavy ground may not have been ideal on debut for this yard on latest at Listowel but others make more appeal. |
9/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 11lb |
Three seconds for William Haggas but had failed to make frame in six starts for Denis Hogan before dropping in grade to take a good ground Roscommon claimer over an extended 1m2f in his final start for that outfit last month; can't be ruled out but others preferred. |

Three seconds for William Haggas, has failed to make the frame in Irish maidens/claimers; not disgraced in a 1m handicap at the Curragh last Saturday, may hold his own here. |

10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

14-race maiden and arrives on the back of a poor run at the Galway Festival; return to further will suit and now tried with first-time blinkers but others are more appealing; drawn wide. |

9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish filly who made a winning stable debut at Southwell last month (6f); only second back at that track three weeks ago (race slowly run to halfway) and now 1lb higher; still has the potential for better. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Stayed 7f well in Ireland but she had no problem with the drop to 6f over C&D last week on yard debut when negotiating a wide draw and having plenty of ground to make up for a narrow but cosy win; questionable whether she's well in under a penalty but has potential. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Sole win came in a Bellewstown maiden last summer; third of eight in Ballinrobe claimer on final start for Noel Meade in June but low-key yard debut in Killarney claimer since. |
8/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 40y |
9st 8lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year but regressive this season and claimed out of Noel Meade's yard for 8,000 euros at Ballinrobe last month after front-running third over 9.5f; cheekpieces replace visor here. |

3rd 4 (1) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 163y |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
AW winner in February on stable debut; stepped up from Bellewstown third when winning readily over 7f here early in the month; should be in the mix again despite 9lb rise, but not guaranteed to confirm with fifth-placed Java Wood. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 9lb |
1m AW winner in February off 6lb lower on second start for this stable; has run well on good to soft so should handle conditions, but came up short off revised mark at Dundalk latest so a bit to prove off this rating. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Three Flat wins came over a mile but stays well enough over hurdles; showed improved form on second start for this yard when winning a 2m2f Downpatrick novice; some of his rivals underperformed that day but can't be underestimated either. |
8/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose performer for Henry De Bromhead, signing off for that yard when winning a 1m soft-ground claimer at Killarney with plenty in hand (in this new headgear combination); far too keen on yard debut in Galway Flat handicap and cheekpieces now replace blinkers for hurdles return (first in 15 months). |

Seasoned handicapper has deteriorated considerably this year, never counting in a Ballinrobe claimer on latest; very hard to be confident in. |

Has struggled in eight starts since winning a 1m1f Listowel handicap last autumn; rated 85 after that success, now 15lb lower but even so can be given a chance at these weights; good 7lb claimer aboard. |

0-14 on turf; best handicap run came last September at Cork when a 1.25l third of ten over 6f (yielding); 6lb lower now and had excuses for poor seasonal comeback latest but might prefer easier ground. |
