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. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Emphatic winner of a handicap chase at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) last August but he's generally struggled since including in three runs this spring; overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove back over hurdles for new yard; equipment removed. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 3lb |
Veteran with poor strike rate, but has found a bit of form lately culminating in a win over nearly 3m at Downpatrick; a quick look at his lengthy race record reveals that he hardly ever runs left-handed, though, which has to be a for a reason. |

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. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-15 pointing in Ireland but 0-16 under rules; placed nine times, including on latest start when 14l second in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle (2m6f, good to yielding); ran another creditable race when fourth over 3m2f here on previous start (good to soft). |
9/1 |

2nd 2 |
22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Exposed mare; has won one of her 15 points but yet to win in 12 starts over hurdles, although has been placed on six occasions; only gave way late on over 26.5f at Perth nine days ago; should give her running again off lower Irish mark. |

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. |

C&D winner in mares' handicap hurdle in May off 8lb lower; good run in novice hurdle over C&D on penultimate; another solid effort in a Wexford handicap chase on latest; goes well here and should be on the premises again. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Good runs in two of last three hurdle starts, all at Downpatrick, winning and runner-up over 2m2f; has run well over fences before and 8lb lower mark in this sphere; looks solid. |

2nd 6 |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Goes well at this venue and won a C&D handicap off 92 on her penultimate start (2m2f, good); failed to back that up off 7lb higher mark over 2m3f on latest; place shout if she can get back on track. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Sole hurdles win came here, under regular rider, last summer, and placed three times over flights later in 2025; only had three completed starts over fences, best of them his Downpatrick second to subsequent easy winner Dinoland over nearly 3m; early exit last time; this trip seems closer to his optimum. |

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

In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over 2m7f at Downpatrick 22 days ago and the winner was Dinoland who contests the previous race; this 7yo gets in off the same mark. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 10lb |
Just a glimmer of promise in six starts over hurdles; modest form in point-to-points on last three starts; tongue tie goes on for return to hurdling for new yard; likely best watched. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced gelding who ran well in his first handicap over hurdles (beaten about 8l at Sligo; 2m4f, good) but lesser efforts have followed; chase debut. |
14/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced 5yo wasn't disgraced with maiden hurdle run here over 2m3f in May (good); similarly decent effort at Sligo on handicap debut in June (20.5f, good); the same can't be said for his run here last time, which was well below his best (2m2f, good); down another 1lb and could play a role if bouncing back. |
