5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Just 1-24 over hurdles when based in Ireland and was pulled up (albeit on slow ground) on chasing debut in February; ran well to a point when back over hurdles for new stable ten days ago (first-time cheekpieces) but was well held in the end; others look safer. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Had modest 2-44 strike-rate under rules when based in Ireland and was pulled up in a chase on latest outing five weeks ago; not an easy one to weigh up but might have been perked up by recent stable switch; wears first-time cheekpieces; well worth a glance in the market. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 13lb |
Added his third hurdles win at Ballinrobe in July (2m1f, good) off 96; not at the same level in two runs following that off 4lb higher; dropped 1lb now, but his form is erratic. |

8th 11 |
5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Is 3-30 over hurdles with his most recent win coming at Ballinrobe in July off a mark of 96 (2m1f, good); beaten a long way off a 4lb higher mark back at that track last time (2m, good); could bounce back here. |

3-28 over hurdles, two wins with Philip Rothwell and placed twice at this venue for that stable; has found his form again; built on Kilbeggan second when scoring for his locally-based trainer here last month; only 4lb higher, same 7lb claimer aboard |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Off the mark off 6lb lower over C&D in October (2m4f, yielding); struggled on heavy ground at Gowran (2m4f) the following month; improved with racing last season, so may need this but not dismissed. |
7/1 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Has run respectably on both handicap starts for Colin Bowe at Downpatrick, staying on over 2m2f and possibly not staying 2m6f on latest; dropped 1lb and this trip might suit; interesting. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Best of three maiden hurdle runs was a 13.5l seventh of 18 at Gowran last year (2m, good); returned from a 314-day break to make her handicap/stable debut here last month when keeping on late for an 18.5l fourth (2m2f, yielding); entitled to improve for that run and the extra distance can bring further improvement; interesting, place chance. |

11st 7lb |
Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; probably too high in the ratings now; unsuited by race conditions at Killarney when tailed off last time; others more likely. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 66y |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

No wins from 12 but went mighty close over C&D (good) last time when denied by a head; his form is in and out, but a repeat of his last run will see him go close off 2lb higher; ground is a slight unknown. |

10st 13lb |
A 23-race maiden whose last run over hurdles came in 2023 over C&D when well beaten off 93; returned from a break with a decent third at Tramore (1m4f, good to yielding); not as good at Galway last time; others more likely. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |

Ended a poor run of form with a shock 50-1 C&D win from Jawhary (second reserve) in November; proved that was no fluke when beaten 1l over C&D a week later from 6lb higher; absent since but worth considering; hooded for the first time. |

2nd 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 13lb |
Locally-owned mare took a long time to come to hand but thrived under both codes last year, recording four wins including this race and a handicap hurdle here in October; promising run at Navan lately and headgear worn for latest Flat win is back on; crack apprentice on board too, so loads to like. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Won four races last year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat, including her last start in this sphere at Galway in October; late-season form also included a Bellewstown second, splitting two of these rivals Idomything and Bhean Sainbhre; needs to reverse the form of seasonal debut at Navan with Bhean Saibhre |
