29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 11lb |
Point/maiden hurdle winner who ran surprisingly well on unfavourable terms at Clonmel last time (2m3f); unwise to take that form at face value. |

Won a point and placed in a bumper; third on handicap debut at Thurles in February and bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces when prominent throughout in winning ordinary mares' maiden at Tramore (2m, soft); got 5lb for that; has bits of form on good ground. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan last year; back hurdling after failures in chases at Tramore and Ballinrobe; rarely at her best in the past year, apart from when second at Wexford (2m1f, good); first reserve. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (Kilbeggan) last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May and solid run from out of the handicap at Listowel; favourite but never travelled when well held on chase debut in Tramore handicap last month, so definite concerns. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |

Maiden hurdle winner last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May; backed that up when beaten 6l into fifth at Listowel when out of the weights; below form when beaten favourite at Wexford lto; makes chase debut and appeals as the type with more to give. |

Won over hurdles at Bellewstown last year and plenty of placed efforts between hurdles and fences since; out of form when last seen over hurdles so has to return to best. |

|
2nd 8 |
30th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Sole hurdles win came at Bellewstown (20.5f) last year; well below form over hurdles this year before good chase third at Wexford in July (15.5f); poor effort at Tramore; carried out by loose horse before the second in Bellewstown hurdle latest. |

Remote second in a 2m Clonmel handicap in February his standout effort; safely held when upped in trip and headgear combination tried at Killarney early this month so has a lot to find. |

5th 9 |
4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

Second in a 2m Clonmel handicap in February, but beaten 20l; never looked like justifying market support at Ballinrobe in August; tailed off in a chase last time; new headgear now, perhaps unwise to rule out. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden but went close when beaten a head at Stratford on stable debut for Dan Skelton, his first attempt at 2m6f; was well backed and saw the trip out strongly, offering encouragement he'll stay this slightly longer distance; up 4lb but remains a leading contender. |
6/4 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

0-8 over hurdles in Ireland but he finished third of 20 in a Cork handicap (2m, yielding) in April on his final run; left Shark Hanlon for 24,000euros since; now tries a new trip after a break but he needs a close look on his first run Dan Skelton. |

Kept on for third at Fairyhouse in December (2m4f, soft), although 16l behind the winner; tailed off there next time on New Year's Day (3m2f, yielding); good effort at Naas last time when a 5.25l fourth behind the winner Let's Go Mans (3m, soft to heavy); can get involved. |
