19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Ended a long losing sequence with Gowran win in April, the third success of a 44-race career that has also seen him place on eight occasions; not beaten far in fifth at Cork on latest. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
8st 12lb |
Gained third win with C&D handicap success in April, beating Khormor Syd by 1.25l; ran respectably off 4lb higher last time at Cork; enjoys soft ground and needs more to defy mark. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Maiden in ten runs but has threatened to break it the last two times when runner-up at Gowran Park (9.5f, soft) and Limerick (1m4f, yielding); unlucky last time having hit the front and nailed on the line; up another 3lb but ground will suit and can go close again. |

Best effort yet when a 1.25l second of 14 at Gowran (9.5f, soft) on seasonal return; shaped like this longer trip would suit and is a player off just 1lb higher. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who is much improved for the switch to Richard Hughes, impressively landing 1m4f handicaps at Brighton and Epsom recently; races off a 10lb higher mark here (including 5lb penalty) but hard to oppose. |
10/11 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Tackling 1m4f and quick ground for the first time when he bolted up at Brighton on his British/stable debut ten days ago; 5lb extra wouldn't have come close to stopping him that day and he's the standout under a penalty. |

0-6 when based in Ireland but made the frame in two slow-ground handicaps this spring (9.5f/10.5f); could have a say if suited by new trip-and-ground combination on stable debut; market may guide. |

9st 4lb |
Front-runner off the mark over 1m6f at Gowran, off basement Irish Flat rating of 40; fifth won at Leopardstown on Friday; went left up the straight last time and trainer feels she'll be better going that way, so might struggle on the bends here. |
4/1 |

1st 13 (12) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
8st 10lb |
Career-best when runner-up in a 1m2f Navan handicap last October, though beaten 5l; made a lot of the running before fading to fourth over a shorter trip here 13 days ago on seasonal debut; should strip fitter now and the longer distance may suit |

Lightly-raced mare ran a career-best when runner-up in Navan (1m2f, yielding) handicap in October, but was 5l behind the winner; contender on her return if she's ready to roll. |

Won a 1m5f (good) Leopardstown handicap off basement mark of 40 on final start for Mags Mullins in May; solid first two runs for this yard; 5l third of 16 at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) and denied by short head at Down Royal (1m5f, good) three days ago; big chance off 2lb lower. |

2nd 7 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |

Nicely improved to get off the mark off basement 40 rating at Leopardstown in May (beating Eastern Wind) for Mags Mullins under enterprising front-running ride (1m5f, good); up 6lb and debuts for new yard from okay draw. |
