8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Doubled his tally over fences for his new stable in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; pulled up in 2m2f handicap at Fontwell 11 days ago though and now reverts to hurdling; others appeal more. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo; built upon encouraging stable debut (over hurdles) when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and bettered that form when clear second to an improver at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a few days later; can cope if there's rain about; good chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

14th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 69y |
10st 10lb |
Veteran has been in the form of his life this year with three wins in the summer; however, he has been well beaten the last three times, including at Downpatrick on Friday; the handicapper seems to have his measure now. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 182y |
11st 4lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include over 3m2f at Kilbeggan last month; good second a week later at Wexford but busy campaign caught up to him from career-high chase mark at Ballinrobe. |

Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include over 3m2f at Kilbeggan last month; good Wexford second a week later shows he remains on a competitive mark. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Long-standing maiden has been running well over shorter trips this summer; closely matched with Jonny Carrol on Wexford 2m4f form three weeks ago, and went close over 3m a couple of years ago; new headgear combination |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here. |
11/2 |

4th 1 |
14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |

Veteran showed there was still plenty of life in him last year; struggling this year; has made the frame at Downpatrick on his last two starts, but beaten a long way on both occasions. |

12st 0lb |
Downpatrick specialist, two wins and three places from eight visits; trounced Whispering Willow in a chase there last time, but might not uphold form here; unconvincing form at tracks other than Downpatrick and Tramore; first time at this venue; on the plus side, Caragh Monaghan has twice finished second on her. |

1st 9 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

1-13 over hurdles (win came here) and rated 100; 0-5 over fences and rated 7lb lower; beaten 6.5l off 92 in a Wexford handicap chase on last completed start in this sphere in June; fairly well held over timber last twice; place chance if rediscovers best form. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Last year's win (good-to-yielding) in this came off 87 and later scored over hurdles at Limerick on heavy; twice runner-up in handicap chases last winter on heavy, below best of late on better ground; ground concerns again here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Won a Kilbeggan handicap chase (2m4f, good to yielding) in July last year off 87; runner-up on heavy ground at Clonmel and Limerick at 2m/2m2f before a lesser effort back at Limerick last time (2m4f, good to yielding); capable of better. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 182y |
10st 12lb |
Back from a spell chasing with a solid second at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); failed to run to that level 15 days later at Ballinrobe; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Downpatrick in May so not without a chance. |
12/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
11st 5lb |
Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |

2nd 4 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Consistent over hurdles last year, gaining sole win over extended 2m4f at Wexford; chasing this summer, second over farther here in in May and good run at Kilbeggan last time; cheekpieces return. |
