12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Busy AW campaign over the winter, winning over this trip and runner-up three times afterwards; ran well for a long way on latest but 1m4f seemed too far; back in trip with race-fitness guaranteed so definite each-way claims. |

Easy winner over 1m here in January and best effort since on latest when staying-on second to Baila Conmigo over 1m2f last month; beaten favourite only previous try at this longer trip; Keane takes over. |

Easy winner over 1m here in January off 50; beaten favourite in following four runs from 1m-1m4f, but they were solid efforts all the same; last time over 1m was not one of his best. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary Flat form in Britain and three quiet runs in maidens before much-improved on handicap debut (following wind surgery and with first-time tongue-tie) at Cork early this month when a 40-1 shot, hitting last but winning going away over 2m (yielding); 10lb rise for that but could go well. |

Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 170y |
9st 9lb |
Has made the frame in two runs in maiden hurdles (soundly beaten both times) since a below-par Flat run at Navan; last season's Roscommon win was gained over 1m4f; later ran well over 1m6f at the Curragh, so no major stamina doubt. |

Flat winner has placed a couple of times over hurdles, oftentimes exhibiting quirky behaviour; fourth at Bellewstown last time (2m1f, yielding) when 17.5l behind the winner; fighting it out for a place maybe the best he can hope for. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

No great shakes in failing to win on the Flat but has won a maiden over hurdles and performed well in the face of some stiff tasks; however, this is another, and she's held by Majolique on Naas form. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |

Flat maiden (rated 70) got off the mark over timber at Fairyhouse in November (soft-to-heavy) and highly tried since, notably getting up for second behind clear winner Narciso Has in Grade 2 at Leopardstown; never really recovered from blunder three out in valuable mares' handicap at same venue early this month; place claims on ground she handles. |

Tenth foal; closely related to trainer's hurdle/chase winner Neveradullmoment, also half-sister to two other multiple winners for the stable, Teacher's Pet and Whatareyoudoingtome; dam hurdle winner; pedigree points to stamina rather than speed. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won off lowly mark (42) at Punchestown last September; made the frame on her final two starts before being switched to hurdling; fair form in that sphere, apart from a poor handicap run last time; probably best over further; tongue-tie added now. |
8/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 110y |

Flat winner off lowly mark last September; far from disgraced in three 2m maiden hurdles, including one over C&D (sft-hvy) when she was ahead of Whats New; opening mark looks fair and she isn't taken lightly on handicap debut. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to repeat that until taking the second spot at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, yielding); not the most fluent jumper but in the mix with improvement. |

Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to reproduce that form at the same venue on her second start or at Punchestown subsequently in a first-time hood; lacked jumping fluency at Navan on handicap debut when a 10.5l sixth of 12; others preferred. |

Tailed off on chase debut last time; hasn't had much racing and he was second in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in February (2m, heavy), albeit some 12l off the winner; all his form is in the mud, except when well beaten in a good-ground bumper. |
