8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences at the ninth attempt in a 1m7f handicap at Tramore (in cheekpieces) and then narrowly followed up back over hurdles (no headgear); higher mark to contend with but she's a thriving mare with a feather weight. |
5/1 |

1st 18 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Placed twice over hurdles two seasons ago; moderate form over fences until much improved when second at Wexford in March on her stable debut; was well backed then, and recovered losses when even-money favourite at Tramor last month; excellent chance off a similarly low hurdles mark; stable in form. |
7/4 |

Produced her best handicap run to date on stable debut in a Wexford chase (19.5f, soft) on latest when attracting market support; 3lb higher now but this shorter trip should suit on that evidence; chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Irish raider who won a 0-50 classified event over the weekend; this looks a bit more competitive under a 4lb penalty but the longer trip will suit, with him taking a while to get on top over 1m2f at Ayr; goes on the shortlist. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Irish raider; ran far better than finishing position suggests (pecked badly at second-last) over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) a fortnight ago; cosy Flat winner at Limerick (1m4f, yielding) in April and needs respecting at this basement level. |
9/2 |

Three-time Flat winner is yet to score from six runs over hurdles; third at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in May was his best placing; okay efforts over fences and on the Flat since then; chance. |

Maiden's best handicap effort came at Punchestown in May on better ground, making much of the running and finishing fourth of 18; didn't build on that at Wexford later that month (2m1f, good to yielding) when a 17l eighth. |

Maiden has posted solid efforts in defeat lately over C&D and over a similar trip at Sligo; raised another 1lb but a repeat of those runs will see him go close with the title leader taking over in the saddle. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |

Sixth of 18 at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) represents her best form; in a top stable and still early days; improvement is not out of the question. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |
11st 0lb |
Sixth of 18 over hurdles at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) was her best hurdles run, but she didn't build on that at Limerick last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); probably best on a sound surface. |

Blinkered when placed three times in middle-distance Flat handicaps on a sound surface for Johnny Murtagh; recent Punchestown sixth was best hurdles run so far and mildly encouraging. |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner last summer, the second of those over 2m7f here (yielding to soft) off 92; sent off favourite for the same race last month but weakened quickly and was pulled up; cheekpieces worn that day are now left off, but questions linger. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Doubled his tally over fences when winning this race last year off 8lb lower (yielding to soft) under O'Keeffe; has run just once since then, on seasonal return at Punchestown when an okay eighth of 18 in a 2m handicap hurdle (good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now and he has won on good; interesting. |

Four hurdle starts were in the second half of 2023; moderate form then, and also in points and over fences in 2024; much-improved last year, winning a point and back-to-back handicaps over fences, both over staying trips; this distance looks inadequate; stable's current form is a positive. |
