8st 12lb |
Won off 50 here in January (1m) and runner up over C&D off 63 in March but form has nosedived since; well held in 7f-1m handicaps here the last thrice and needs to rediscover best with hood tried last time discarded. |

C&D winner was favourite here last week, but was too keen from a bad draw; same stall here, so Keane will have to be at his best. |

Consistent here last winter; sole win was over this trip in January, placed six times in all either side of that, over 10.5f latterly; couple of 6f turf runs lately served their purpose, which was to get him back into this grade, and leading claimer knows him. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; placed on all three hurdling starts for current stable, losing out only by a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) on second occasion; not bred for fences and unraced over this far but could be hard to beat in this modest race if his jumping is adequate; hooded for first time. |

0-16 but early days with this yard and he's due a 6lb rise after going down by a short head at Sedgefield ten days ago (2m1f, good); he was clear of the third that day; clear claims. |

11st 2lb |
Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding) on handicap debut; a few indifferent runs before coming back to form with a solid fourth at Ballinrobe in August; clear of the others when second in a five-runner contest at Ballinrobe later that month. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 44y |

Won off 8lb lower at Cork in April (2m, yielding); back to form with solid 2.25l fourth of 14 here over 16.5f (good) on latest; has weakened late on both previous starts at this sort of trip so stamina a concern. |

Shock winner at Cork in April (2m, yielding); mid-field off revised mark at Limerick later that month, when testing ground may not have suited; unplaced favourite in a novice contest at Downpatrick; moderate run at this venue last month, jumped untidily at times. |

Modest on the Flat; well beaten on handicap debut over hurdles in May but had some useful juvenile form and wouldn't be without hope should this new headgear combination trigger a return to that level. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

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. |

Some promising runs in defeat last season; okay run over hurdles at Bellewstown in April but his tailed off finish at Sligo last month is concerning. |

Flat winner; 0-15 over hurdles but generally consistent; solid second in Galway Festival handicap hurdle (16.5f, good) on penultimate; another decent run when third back in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown latest (20.5f, gd-yld); rain no issue and thereabouts. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap last year; plenty of solid efforts over hurdles but ran out twice too; fine efforts last twice, notably when second in a 2m Galway handicap; not bred for this trip but a big player if staying; penalised 8lb. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Developed into a very capable juvenile hurdler last season, Grade 2 runner-up and two wins, including a Listed success at the Punchestown festival, beating older rivals; warmed up for this with a run on the Flat last week; never in the hunt, could be a different proposition now. |

Developed into a very capable juvenile hurdler last season, Grade 2 runner-up and two wins, including a Listed success at the Punchestown festival, beating older rivals; interesting off this mark, if she can translate her improvement to the Flat; finished sixth in this race 12 months ago. |

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. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 80y |

4yo filly holds an experience edge; has placed in a couple of handicap hurdles and is rated 107; far from disgraced in decent mares' handicap hurdle at Galway last time out; big player getting lots of weight back in maiden company. |

Only fifth when favourite last time but perhaps the ground was too soft having previously finished second in 2m1f/2m4f handicaps on quicker surfaces; after seven races there's scope for further improvement. |
