3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Comes into this in good form having won a novice hurdle over 2m4f on good ground at Newcastle in April and on chase debut at Southwell 13 days ago; still feasibly treated; contender. |

12st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner in Denmark and now a dual winner over hurdles after narrowly taking a small-field novice at Newcastle last month (2m4f, good); could be on a fair mark for this chasing debut but he'll need to take to fences. |

After a layoff and on first start since rejoining stable, was back to winning ways, despite not jumping fluently, in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Killarney (gd-yld); raised 6lb and now steps up in grade; will need a career best to follow up. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run. |

Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since including in her two runs at Fairyhouse last month over 2m4f on heavy ground in which she finished third both times; tired in the closing stages last time, slightly shorter trip may help. |

Getting the hang of things in handicaps and was a good second at Gowran (16.5f, soft) earlier this month, despite putting in a slow jump at the last; effective on better ground and should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |
