15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Has run well but has ultimately come up short in three runs since winning at Wexford last July (2m, good); far from disgraced but still beaten 18l on latest in premier handicap at Aintree (2m, gd-sft) and same mark now; longer trip needs to eke out more (good chance will stay on breeding). |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Won Wexford handicap (2m, good) last July on third chase start and returned to form when third of 20 at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; needs a career best today but this unexposed 6yo represents a top Irish trainer (who saddles three) and could yet have more to offer. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won a Roscommon maiden hurdle last year and got off the mark over fences when scoring on handicap debut at Wexford over 2m; raised 7lb but is lightly-raced and has to be respected. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Dual hurdles winner with his last win coming in December 2023; reverts to hurdles, having been chasing in recent times with little success; finished a 13.5l fifth at Punchestown in June (2m3f, good to yielding) off 116 when last seen in this sphere; others preferred. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A third win over fences at Stratford on Tuesday and he's 9lb lower for this return to hurdling (0-9); has to be of interest with trip/ground ideal. |
11/4 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner but has yet to match that level in three starts this year, including when seemingly not staying 3m at Hexham 24 days ago; drop back in trip should suit but he needs to stage a revival. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Both wins have come at Downpatrick (2m3f); plugged on to finish a modest second at Plumpton (2m1f, good; beaten 21l) 11 days ago; that should have given him confidence though - fell at Killarney prior - and this extra yardage could suit. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 6lb |
In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

1st 3 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Hurdles and three-time chase winner; best form at Tramore; was demoted from first in Killarney chase last summer; never sighted in first three starts for this yard; blinkers go on now. |

One hurdle and two chase wins at this venue; was demoted from first in a Killarney chase last autumn; has a chance if back to form after two poor chase efforts for this new yard. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |

Likes a sharp 2m and good ground; first past the post against useful rival at Killarney in October and better for recent comeback; 2lb wrong and ground may not be dry enough. |

Better hurdler than a chaser, and her last three runs over fences do nothing to dispute that; pulled up at Roscommon on her return. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 150y |

Better hurdler than chaser; she is at least back off her correct mark this time but wouldn't be the percentage call; now an 11yo. |

Dual chase winner is 0-17 over hurdles but has posted some solid runs lately at Punchestown and Limerick; should be involved again. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |
6/1 |
