13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive handicapper this year, winning premier handicap over C&D in June and won at Gowran last month over same trip; well-backed but didn't seem to stay (keen) in 1m6f Ebor on latest when cheekpieces tried (now left off); upped in grade here and needs to improve. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; narrow win at the Curragh in June and he's continued the good work with his never-nearer fourth of 18 at the Galway festival and a more decisive win at Gowran Park ten days ago; they were all over about 1m4f (unraced beyond that on Flat) but 1m6f makes appeal and first-time cheekpieces might sharpen him up, including in the early stages; better is needed under his penalty but he's one to consider. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |

Had been jumping before returning to the Flat with a narrow 1m4f win at the Curragh in June; gave a solid display off revised mark when fourth of 18 over the same trip in a valuable Galway festival event. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
First and second on turf in Ireland last April/August on his only two starts for Noel Meade; debut for new stable saw him take third in the 1m4f AW novice event won by Constitution Hill, followed by another encouraging run on hurdle debut at Newbury two weeks ago; now tongue tied first time; seriously unexposed and no great surprise if he's on a good mark. |
7/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish unexposed sort whose Flat form comprises a success and two placed efforts, latest on debut for new stable in the AW novice event won by Constitution Hill; brings potential to this code and looks interesting. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 (13) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Made a promising start for Noel Meade, winning a 9.5f maiden before finishing second in 1m4f handicap (both on turf); joined Dan Skelton to go hurdling (withdrawn ahead of intended debut last month) but with his Flat experience and low mileage, he can't be dismissed. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
One of three for Joseph O'Brien; won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and also took a huge prize for last September's Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding); underwhelming in his three handicap hurdles in November-April, which is a concern, as is today's widest stall, but his Curragh win (bursting clear 1f out) was delivered with considerably more authority than the winning margin suggests; respected. |
9/1 |
|

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Last season's Fred Winter winner at Cheltenham never threatened on return there last month in 2m5f Coral Cup; previously hampered at least twice when well held behind Zillow over today's C&D; Walsh prefers Davy Crockett. |
16/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
It was never in doubt once his jockey pressed the button in last season's Fred Winter at this meeting (2m, good to soft) and much the same when he landed a huge pot in the Irish Cesarewitch on Flat (2m1f) in September; whether he's on a good mark is an issue but he may have found 2m at Listowel sharper than ideal when runner-up in September and this marked step up in trip is an interesting move; big-race performer who has to be given a close look. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
C&D maiden winner; 1m6f win (good) at Navan on seasonal reappearance in April off 91; below par in three runs since but is now 1lb lower than for that last victory; return to AW might spark a revival. |
15/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 11lb |
Made winning seasonal debut over 1m6f at Navan in April; below-form when favourite at Cork for 1m4f event won by Ascending; tailed off behind the same horse in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; has won over 1m4f and 1m2f. |
10/1 |

20th 12 (3) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Most starts on good ground, unraced on firmer; lightly raced 5yo who had 282 days off before emerging from off the pace to win narrowly at Navan (1m6f) in April; below-form favourite behind Ascending at Cork (1m4f) six weeks ago but going beyond 1m6f for the first time is interesting and he holds possibilities if that latest run is forgiven. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 13lb |
Last year's winner has dropped to 4lb below that winning mark following some poor runs in the interim; but has also run with credit, including when keeping on for a 4.25l fourth at Galway on his penultimate run; not ruled out back to the scene of his victory. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner; shaped quite well at the Curragh three runs back (1m2f); badly hampered at the same venue in race won by Fleetfoot; stayed on from off the pace in Galway event in which Fleetfoot was fourth; may get closer. |

Runner-up twice on good ground; ninth start when off the mark in 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (2m, AW; favourite) in December when last seen; needs to improve on that form but he's relatively lightly raced. |
