30th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 153y |
11st 2lb |
Second runner for Gordon Elliott; French bumper winner; made the breakthrough for current yard when taking six-runner Fairyhouse contest (16.5f, heavy) by 12l on handicap debut; came up short off revised marks since; didn't enjoy good ground at Wexford last month; will need rain ahead of chase debut. |

11st 9lb |
French bumper winner has never raced on better than yielding to soft; made the breakthrough for his current stable when taking a six-runner Fairyhouse contest by 12l on handicap debut; came up short off revised mark in Listed handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown towards end of last season; ground a concern for return. |

French bumper winner; 4yo won easily on handicap bow at Fairyhouse in February (16.5f, heavy); came up short off 14lb higher back there on latest when 1lb wrong and similar story here; would probably prefer softer ground. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
With Denis Hogan when winning a Tramore maiden (2m) in April; followed up on Flat on debut for this trainer and has since been runner-up twice on Flat and a good third of 12 in Class 2 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); unraced beyond that but no way is he ruled out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
With Denis Gerard Hogan when justifying favouritism in a Tramore maiden (2m, good to yielding) in April; joined this trainer the following month for £26,000 and has been kept ticking over on the Flat (form figures 122); noteworthy he's pitched into a Class 2 for GB handicap hurdle debut; interesting. |

8st 13lb |
Signed off in Ireland with a maiden hurdle win; narrowly won over 1m4f at Kempton (AW) on yard debut before chasing home a clearcut winner over C&D; same mark here and could be vulnerable. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 5lb |
Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

Won Galway 3yo maiden last summer and back to form in Sligo handicap (2m5f, good) last month, relishing longer trip to win going away under a patient ride; went down fighting at the same track 13 days later from 8lb higher; up another 1lb but respected. |
