31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-7 as a chaser but has placed form over C&D; beaten favourite when a fair third here last month on stable debut; ran poorly when again the market leader at Killarney; may have lost confidence after a mistake at the first. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-6 as a chaser but has placed form and might strip fitter for his recent stable debut at Kilbeggan (2m4f) where he faded late on. |

3rd 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; best effort over fences when second in a 2m5f Roscommon beginners' event last June, form shown in a good light by the progressive winner Boston Rover; failed to build on that in two subsequent novice runs; weak form in two handicaps last autumn; makes debut for top stable after a break |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |

Chase, hurdles and Flat winner for Gavin Cromwell; capable off this mark but needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in a 1m Gowran claimer on debut for this stable. |

Versatile sort has won a chase, over hurdles and on the Flat; soundly beaten in final start for Gavin Cromwell at Thurles (2m, good) in October and off since; best watched in first run for new yard. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Second in sole point start; good bumper form last year; pick of five attempts hurdling when clear third in a 3m Cork maiden (yielding to soft); tailed off at Limerick in March and similar story switched to handicaps at Sligo in May; chasing debut under rules needs to spark some life. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 0lb |
Progressive chaser but went up 10lb for winning a 2m4f Grade 3 in April and he came up short back in a handicap at Wexford, though still ran well and probably found the 2m3f trip sharp enough; each-way possibilities, though regular partner Darragh O'Keeffe has deserted him this time. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Has won three of his last four chases, two of them coming over C&D, and was impressive when making all in Grade 3 handicap at the Punchestown festival last time; ground to suit again and little to dislike, apart from rising mark. |
7/4 |

1st 10 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced but already a better chaser than hurdler, two wins coming over 2m4f at Wexford, most recently showing good attitude back in October on good-to-yielding; absent since but conditions to suit and likely more to offer. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Back in good nick in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) on Tuesday, winning easily by 32l in a small field; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but, nevertheless, he commands respect under 7lb penalty. |
2/1 |

13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Now only 3lb higher than for his easy win at Bangor in March (2m4f, good) but was entitled to run better than he did when favourite last time at Worcester. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Now only 4lb higher than for his easy win at Bangor in March (2m4f, good) and latest run at Cartmel was okay as 2m1f around there was probably too sharp; possible. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 70y |

Useful staying handicap hurdler three seasons ago; struggled at this venue on comeback a fortnight ago; Sea Aster is probably the yard's number one hope here. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Absent since a faller four out when leading on chase debut at Downpatrick over two years ago; has run well fresh but seems certain to be all the better for this comeback run; trainer also runs Masterboy Davis so the market can guide as to expectations. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles but better over fences; won a 2m3f beginners' chase at Wexford last month before finishing a good third in a 2m5f Listed handicap chase at Killarney; improving chaser and looks capable of getting involved. |
5/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Gained a third career win in a 2m3f handicap chase at Wexford two weeks ago; small penalty for that still leaves him 8lb wrong here; difficult task. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time hurdles winner; extended chase record to 0-7 when a 14.5l third of 9 over C&D on debut for this yard last month but may have needed that after 208 days off and could get closer now; rated 114 and in the mix. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Wide-margin winner of an ordinary contest at Wexford in March; weak overall form in the context of this; has struggled in handicaps. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |

Wide margin winner of an ordinary contset at Wexford in March; mixed bag since and not done many favours by his jumping at Galway latest; small field and possibly slower gallop may help but more needed in any case. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in points for Josh Halley; 15-2 for stable debut at Galway where was tailed off; well supported at Navan, never in contention; the fitting of cheekpieces seemed to do the trick when she was apparently unfancied in a 2m4f Gowran handicap 16 days ago; made much of the running and finished second; cheekpieces now discarded, tongue-tie instead. |
