28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 0lb |
Good run when a 3.5l sixth at Leopardstown in December and narrowly denied on his next start at Down Royal (20.5f, yielding); pulled up on latest at Wexford, however, and needs to bounce back in first-time blinkers; 2lb wrong. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Point winner; built on promise of a solid run at Leopardstown in December when narrowly denied at Down Royal (20.5f, yielding) last month and the sixth from that race has won since; should be bang there again off 3lb higher with Kennedy booked. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 4lb |
Navan maiden hurdle winner in September (2m3f, yielding); runner up in a novice handicap here (2m1f, sft-hvy) in November and beaten a head in a Grade 2 Novice at Limerick the following month; pulled up (coughing post-race) and soundly beaten in handicaps the last twice though so a revival is needed. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Was runner-up in a Grade 2 novice over 2m7f at Limerick but did win his maiden over this trip at Navan; had an excuse (coughing) last time; hood added; considered. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 7lb |
Progressive 6yo won Navan maiden before staying-on second in 2m1f Punchestown novice handicap and most recently just outstayed in 2m7f Limerick Grade 2 novice on heavy, having led between final two flights; legitimate claims back in handicap company but this looks very competitive. |

Still in contention when unseating two out at Limerick in November; disappointing favourite at the same venue at Christmas; again quite well fancied when pulled up at Down Royal in January. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 7lb |
Still in contention when unseating two out at Limerick in November but disappointing favourite there at Christmas, not looking to get home over 2m3f after travelling well to two out (Might Be The One second); drop back in trip here should suit and remains of interest. |

Won on his second point start in May; the best of three maiden hurdle runs when a 16l runner-up to what looks a smart rival at Navan last time; still has to improve on that. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish; recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) recently; maintained his good level of form when third of five back there ten days ago; must come into this if he can replicate his form here. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Back over this trip he's gone back-to-back in course handicaps (good ground; placed on soft), last time nicely on top in the finish; up another 5lb but looks sure to be involved. |
3/1 |

Failed to stay 3m two runs back and then made all over C&D two weeks ago, scoring by 2l (several hurdles were omitted); off only 3lb higher he should be on the scene once more. |

Ordinary form in maidens; this trip may help his cause judged on a satisfactory handicap run over shorter at Galway; lost ground with a mistake at the fifth, stayed on from off the pace to finish in mid-division. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 160y |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
11st 12lb |
Gained a breakthrough win in a 2m Gowran novice handicap in November; dropped away tamely from the last at Leopardstown; bounced back from that lapse to win readily at Fairyhouse; further progress feasible. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 |
15th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Definite signs of ability in maidens on varying ground before breakthrough in 2m Gowran novice handicap in November; dropped away tamely from the last at Leopardstown last time; was much shorter in the betting than fourth-placed Nelson Muntz; could bounce back to form now. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |
11st 12lb |
Well-related gelding; half-brother to five winners, including high-class pair John's Court and The Game Changer; satisfactory introduction when sixth in a 19-runner maiden over 2m4f at Cork in March; sixth in a 24-runner maiden over the same trip at Fairyhouse; should be sharper for his run at Navan and may uphold form with Garnetot. |

Well clear of the third when runner-up in a Clonmel maiden in October (2m4f, good); out of contention when a faller at the last hurdle on handicap debut later that month on soft ground at Limerick (2m4f, soft); return to better ground can help. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |

Well clear of the third when runner-up in a maiden at Clonmel last time; likely to make his presence felt but may struggle to reverse Navan form with Welluknow. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins for new stable last season (2m, heavy-good to soft) and he's continued in good form, beaten only 1l when fourth at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; the drop back in trip could help; firmly in calculations. |
7/2 |

4th 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Three wins for new stable last season, the latest here (2m, good to soft) in March; might have been a shade unlucky when keeping-on third at Stratford (2m2f, good; denied clear run) last time and is unexposed over 2m4f but needs to maintain his progress to land this prize. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
In fine form for his current yard and he got back on the up with 2m Fakenham handicap success 15 days ago; up 3lb but strong at the finish there so he holds excellent claims back over a longer trip. |
