3rd 5 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has won three times here, all with give in the ground, twice over this trip; would be interesting if the ground eases but usually comes on for her first run. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ended a long losing sequence when winning at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last month and she followed up there (1m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; also effective elsewhere and this in-form mare could play another leading role. |
3/1 |
|
6 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a losing run going back to September 2022 when winning here (1m7f, soft) last Tuesday; her profile suggests her credentials for following up are questionable, but she had 3l to spare last week and a 4lb penalty may not stop her if she can reproduce that form. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Four-race maiden; showed improvement with 50-1 second upped to 1m7f in Ayr handicap (soft) most recently and the winner advertised the form by following up; may build on that effort; clear possibilities off 1lb lower. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to four winners at up to 1m6f; best of three Flat runs was when fourth in 1m3f novice at Southwell; up in trip for handicap debut but has no easy task. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins over hurdles; had few chances on the Flat but she won at Ayr in September (1m5f, soft) and showed better form when third over 1m7f 11 days later; still has some potential in this sphere and a hurdle run last month should have sharpened her up; might need more of a stamina test than this though. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Easy winner off a 10lb lower mark after a break at this meeting last year (fifth over 2m here in April 2024); won another race over C&D off a pound lower than here in May (good) and also on the Flat at Ayr in September (soft); interesting. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 46y |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came over 1m5f (good) at Navan last May; 2lb lower now but was out of form when last seen at the Curragh in October; best watched on seasonal return. |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came over 1m5f at Navan in May (good) although only narrowly beaten at Listowel off this mark on similar ground; recent Ayr run (soft) leaves her with a bit to find but better ground to suit. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

Lost way after 2024 Kilbeggan novice hurdle win for John McConnell; well beaten all five Flat starts last year; best watched after break on first start for new stable. |

6th 2 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Maiden on the Flat, but won a novice handicap hurdle in September 2024 (2m3f, good to yielding); fair fourth in a 1m5f handicap here in July (good to soft; cheekpieces on for first time); headgear back on (poor run without it last time); interesting. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden; seems to stay 1m6f and is better than she showed than when 7.5l fourth at Thirsk last time (1m4f, soft); could go well. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden; tailed off at Southwell last time (1m6f; not the best of runs) but two fair runs over 1m6f at Yarmouth (good) and over 1m4f at Wolverhampton prior to that; place chance. |
6/1 |

8th 11 (7) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 3lb |
3yo who has been consistent across her last three starts (including on Tapeta), finishing third of five at Yarmouth (1m6f, good) last month; needs something extra today but is lightly raced and might not be far away. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
9yo who went 0-11 last year and was soundly beaten on last month's reappearance at Catterick; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a competitive mark judged on last season's placed form. |
9/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

Course winner who is on a competitive mark on last season's efforts, which came over 1m5f-2m1f; however, this 9yo went 0-11 last term and today's reappearance trip may prove to be inadequate. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

1m3f winner who has been plummeting in the weights but is hard to recommend based on recent efforts. |
