23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |

11st 7lb |
Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year but didn't go on under either code; not the appeal of some on stable debut despite stamina to spare at the trip; tongue tie added. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |

2nd 16 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
10st 10lb |
Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Ran well when a 1.5l runner up in a 3yo Killarney maiden hurdle in July; 3.5l behind Kibris in a Cork maiden in October (15.5f, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten far here (2m3f, sft-hvy) on handicap debut latest; could go well dropped back in trip off the same mark. |

1st 20 (11) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
8st 10lb |
Showed some promise when fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel last September; two fifth placings over different trips at Gowran last month were mildly encouraging; needs to find more. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
8st 11lb |
Showed some promise when fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel last September; never far from the pace when fifth over an extended 1m1f here 13 days ago on return; ended up only 3/4l behind the pace-setting Prom Queen. |

Showed some promise over hurdles last year, notably when fourth in a 3yo hurdle at Listowel in September; well beaten in two previous runs at this venue; worth a market check nonetheless. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Locally trained 4yo; Killarney maiden hurdle winner last July (2m1f, yld-sft); added a Limerick handicap hurdle off 112 in March (2m, soft); tailed off on latest at Bellewstown and now switches attention to chasing; would probably prefer softer ground. |

Flat maiden won a Killarney juvenile hurdle last year before a lesser run at Listowel; won a Limerick handicap on return last month; a player up 6lb with more to come. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
10st 8lb |
63-rated Flat maiden; showed improvement when switched to hurdling last summer, early in the juvenile campaign; placed on both Killarney starts, though beaten 10l on the second occasion; needs to find a bit extra. |
4/1 |

2nd 9 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Beaten 13l+ in four Flat races (1m-1m4f), earning a mark of 64 on turf; does at least have hurdling experience after finishing a close third here a month ago. |
7/4 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Just a hint of ability in four Flat starts but was disappointing at Dundalk last time; however, comes from a respected yard so can't be dismissed now tackling hurdles. |
