It was a claimer in which he ran second at Bellewstown recently (1m, soft) and then never landed a blow from off the pace at Roscommon; no wins in 14 but best form has been on the AW; cheekpieces enlisted. |

Looks a limited performer under both codes and new blinkers need to make a difference. |

Poor form in maiden hurdles prior to some minor promise at Downpatrick last month; tailed off on the Flat at Galway since; enough to prove. |

Maiden has yet to trouble the judge; blinkers tried and handicapper relenting but remains hard to fancy. |

Modest Flat performer didn't run that badly in two previous maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Killarney but he's likely to be seen to better effect when tackling handicaps. |

No success in 18 starts for Noel Meade; change of scene did the trick over 1m here in January on first run for this yard, in first-time hood; failed to match that display six weeks ago off new mark. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Winless in 18 starts for Noel Meade but built on pleasing penultimate run when easily winning over C&D last month on first run for this yard, keen early but allowed to dictate from the front in first-time hood (retained); contender raised 7lb. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's got into the habit of fluffing the start for this yard, which also saddles Rye; can pull hard too and comes with risks, returned to turf and going without the hood tonight. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Shaped well when third at Lingfield (6f, AW) on his stable debut in February; hasn't fared so well since, with slow starts a recurring theme, and he will need luck in running if he blows the start from stall 1; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |
6/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

1-20, the win coming in a Bellewstown maiden claimer (1m, soft) in October; has shown encouragement since joining Tony Carroll and can't be easily dismissed. |
