2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record over C&D reads 1233 and he's back off the same mark as when successful at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; player in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |

3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |
8/1 |

12th 6 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |
12/1 |

3rd 10 |
1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
10st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-13 over hurdles, the win coming in a Killarney handicap (2m1f, good) off 6lb lower in August; beaten 11l off revised mark at Listowel in September; okay run on the Flat at Thurles on latest; career best required off this mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 34y |
11st 12lb |
Showed good stamina on soft ground when winning a 23-runner handicap over 1m6f at Navan last October; not a bad run when fifth under a penalty at Galway five days later; rated a modest 60 on the Flat; faces a tough introduction to hurdling. |
25/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
27th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 3f 180y |
10st 3lb |
Ran well on seasonal return on soft ground at Killarney in July; well below that level on next two starts; got up close home to win over 1m6f at Navan last week; bold bid likely under 7lb penalty but may struggle to confirm form with third-placed God The Highness. |

8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 180y |
9st 1lb |
Won a Roscommon handicap by 15l last October but was poor on return off a 14lb higher mark at the Curragh; down 1lb but questions now. |

8th 11 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Built on promise of first two handicap runs when making all and winning by 15l at Roscommon (1m4f, soft) in October; hiked up 14lb so will need to improve again to follow up but that's not impossible; can't be discounted if ready after break. |
5/1 |
|

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 4f 46y |
9st 4lb |
Has improved for handicaps, finishing runner up over C&D (soft) and again at Thurles on latest (12.5f, gd-yld), beaten around 3l in both; should be in the mix again. |

Improved since handicapping but was a beaten favourite when 2l behind Nancee Spain at Roscommon last month and needs progress to turn that around. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

14-race maiden for Andrew McNamara; did finish third in a big field over this far at Fairyhouse; best watched on yard debut after a lengthy break. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |

13-race maiden and finished a long way behind a couple of these at Roscommon last month; return to quicker ground might help but others are more convincing. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

Got a win on the board over 1m6f at Navan in August but well held afterwards, and is probably going to need this first run of the year. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 205y |
12st 3lb |
Very modest on the Flat (0-17, rated 37); some signs of ability over hurdles last season; has been sharpened by two Flat runs since joining this stable and may improve; premature to write off. |
10/1 |
|
10 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |
