C&D maiden hurdle winner; gained second career win at Downpatrick off 3lb lower last summer; 8l behind Avalo at Punchestown in May (2m, yielding); close second to Chanceawetmorning at Clonmel later that month; 2m6f too far but still ran well latest; chance back in trip. |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Oliver; has shown promise in this sphere for Dan Skelton, in the frame in juveniles at Newbury and Ascot before making late errors when fifth of eight in 2m Ludlow juvenile in February; has since undergone wind surgery and holds leading form claims. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful Flat form at about 1m2f; beaten in the region of 10l in his two runs over hurdles despite taking a firm grip (tongue tied last time on soft; 2.25l behind Talakan); needs to settle better but this sharp track could benefit him. |
5/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Showed fairly useful level of form in four Flat runs and made promising start over hurdles when 9l third of ten at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month, keeping on well having still had plenty to do when not fluent two out; open to lots of improvement; big player in first-time tongue-strap. |

Won three consecutive times (once over C&D) in May/June and held good lead before falling at third-last flight in recent 2m2f handicap here; leading contender back in novice company. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner in Ireland; now 3-5 over hurdles, though it's questionable what he's achieved in the wins as the maiden came at odds of 2-9 and the handicaps were desperately uncompetitive, the latest a gift after market rival had relinquished lengths at the start; competes here off an untouched mark; this should reveal plenty more about him. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Sole win in nine Flat starts came in 1m4f (good) maiden at Tramore a year ago; gambled on, narrow 0.75l second on stable debut in Chester Plate in May off 86; ran to similar level at Galway last time; could be a nice hurdling prospect. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good first effort for this yard when narrowly denied in the Chester Plate (18.5f, good); led and weakened into ninth of 24 off this mark in a Curragh handicap on latest (1m6f, good); drops in trip now and cheekpieces go on; favourable draw. |
14/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return. |

8st 12lb |
Curragh maiden winner (1m4f) was touched off in the Petingo at Leopardstown last time by a head (1m5f, good to yielding); up 2lb now; best form is on nice ground so a drying forecast is in his favour and the new trip may help him; towards the forefront of calculations but draw a disadvantage. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 0y |

Improving 3yo went close in 1m2f handicaps early in the season and off the mark in workmanlike fashion on latest in 1m4f Curragh maiden in July; blinkers replace cheekpieces here and could have more to offer at this trip; 1lb wrong but rider claims 5lb. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Encouraging third of nine over 1m4f here and backed that up with a close second at Leopardstown, dropped to 1m1f; the winner could be very smart, having pushed top-class Henri Matisse close on last year's debut; every chance. |
11/8 |

2nd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Made a very pleasing debut despite racing keenly when a 3.25l third of 9 at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and that form was boosted by the fifth Edelak at Galway; the drop in trip is a query but he holds leading claims. |
3/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

New Approach colt is a first foal; dam 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 93), half-sister to winners Fountain (7f) and Latchet (1m-10.6f inc AW) out of 6f Listed/7f 2yo winning half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner; not a bad pedigree so worth a market check on debut. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |
11/2 |

1st 10 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |
