Maiden in all categories after 45 races; some of his better runs earlier in his career were over hurdles, placed four times from 18 attempts; a top jockey booked for the trainer's first runner. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 198y |

No wins in a varied 44-race career, although ran well in a couple of beginners' this term; was 11lb wrong on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown last time; percentage call is to oppose. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Shaped nicely in last three handicap hurdle runs; bumped into a well handicapped rival at Navan last time when a 5.5l second (2m3f, yielding); good chance. |
5/2 |

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

0-8 over hurdles but has shaped nicely the last twice at Sligo (20.5f, good) and Clonmel (2m4f, good); chance if handles the forecast slower ground (dam won on yld-sft). |
6/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |

Well beaten in two handicap starts over 2m1f after showing little in maidens; took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last October on his first try at this trip; absent since then; market may provide clues. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; bettered his first run for Olly Murphy when 3.5l fourth in a 3m handicap at Wincanton last time (good); has won on soft ground; chance. |
3/1 |

4th 10 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |

Runner-up in this race last year off 91 but remains a maiden; pulled up at Limerick last month; previous Clonmel second much more encouraging so don't rule out off this lowly mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |

Went close in a Tramore handicap last April; returned to form after a lean spell when 10l second to the in-form Brown Boots at Clonmel a fortnight ago. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise under rules in Ireland for Willie Mullins last year (five runs) and, having changed hands for 1,200gns in the autumn, was pulled up in a maiden point on British debut in January. |
25/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Midfield finish on bumper debut at Wexford; tailed off in two of three maiden hurdle runs, okay effort at Downpatrick when a 6.25l fourth of six (2m6f, good), sandwiched between two poor runs; little to recommend him other than the yard he hails from. |
6/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Sent off 2-1 favourite for bumper debut at Wexford when a disappointing 13.5l seventh; tailed off over hurdles here following that (3m, good to yielding); better at Downpatrick last time when a 6.25l fourth; can improve again, but others bring more pressing claims; one of two for trainer. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |
11st 10lb |
Went close in handicap hurdles at this venue in March and May; place chance on that basis; should be better for the experience of his first chase start at Tramore two weeks ago. |
8/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up on point debut before a decent 6l fourth at Bartlemy; a couple of decent runs over hurdles, particularly when beaten a head at Clonmel in May off 98 (2m3f, good); recent runs leave a bit to be desired, but not ruled out on chasing debut. |

0-12 under rules' but ran one of his best races when a 3.25l third of 15 at Clonmel (2m7f, yielding) last time, running on well from the rear; up 1lb but this is a lower grade and Kennedy now takes the ride. |

3rd 15 |
14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
One of two for yard; 0-10 but has run well in defeat on a couple of occasions, including when a 5.25l third of 16 here in December (19.5f, heavy), shaping like further would suit; stayed on for an 11l fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, gd-sft) on latest off 10lb higher; interesting. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Two good runs in beginners' chases last October and could be all the sharper for her recent run over hurdles; this mark shouldn't be beyond her. |
7/1 |

6th 8 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Debut point winner got off the mark over hurdles when successful over C&D (good) in July off 78; unable to go in again off revised mark in two subsequent starts here and at Downpatrick; creditable efforts over fences when last seen in October. |
5/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 66y |

Winner of only point start for Benny Walsh; won over hurdles at Wexford in July (2m1f, good) following a Tramore second; holds a leading chance now after second on chasing debut at the same venue; has an edge over Mount Shenshan and Figurehead. |

Hurdles winner is 0-10 over fences; beaten 12.5l off 92 in Wexford handicap chase on latest (25.5f, gd-yld); best form has come on soft and heavy ground; others appeal more. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |

Is yet to win over fences but posted decent runs the last twice, both at Clonmel; wasn't so good over hurdles since but is still one to consider. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in a 3m hurdle (good) when trained in Ireland; has gone backwards in three starts for her current trainer, both in terms of performance and trip; latest 5lb drop sees her on a handy mark and no surprise if she can take advantage. |
7/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
A long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in October and ran well to a point back there on his stable debut; she never got that competitive back over hurdles this month. |
12/1 |

6th 3 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who was a long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence here (2m5f, good) in October and ran well for a long way before weakening rapidly here (2m5f, good) in November on stable debut; the drop in trip could be just what she needs and she's one to consider back hurdling. |
