18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Finally got off the mark in Wexford handicap (2m4f) last month, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite; wellbeing confirmed when headed close home at Sligo (20.5f) off 3lb higher mark; major player if ground remains in his favour; stable in form. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |
11st 3lb |
Had run well several times in defeat before finally off the mark 11 days ago in 2m4f Wexford handicap, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite (pair clear); 5lb rise looks quite lenient, so major player if ground remains in his favour. |

0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when runner up in a 2m1f (good) maiden hurdle here; went close off 3lb higher at Galway in October; wide trip when midfield over C&D (good) on latest; not discounted off 2lb lower. |

11st 5lb |
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. |

Up front throughout when winning 2m2f mares' handicap here last month (good); similar tactics employed in 2m2f novices since, third at Ballinrobe and weakened badly when last of 5 here; steps up in trip now. |

13-race maiden but has shaped well on a few occasions, most notably when fourth at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) in March; not at same level of late, never counting at Galway latest; much more needed. |

Both wins were over this trip at Sligo, and he's been running well this season, but fully exposed and his second at Galway was a distant one. |

2nd 6 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |

Dual winner at Sligo but not as effective elsewhere; decent run over 2m4f at Wexford in July but disappointing back at Sligo last month; others preferred. |

7th 10 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |
10st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-31 record over hurdles illustrates, but both wins have been over this C&D, including off this mark last summer; penultimate Wexford third was a good effort, 3m2f may have been too far last time; place claims back at optimum trip. |

10st 10lb |
Might have won on her handicap debut at Cork but for some interference (2m4f, good); unable to get competitive back to 2m at Galway; always in rear when upped to 20.5f at Sligo last month; has a bit to prove now. |

Might have won on her handicap debut at Cork but for some interference (2m4f, good); unable to get competitive back to 2m at Galway, so return to longer trip a positive and don't rule out. |

Progressing and might have won on her handicap debut at Cork but for some interference (2m4f, good); this drop in distance isn't an obvious positive but one to bear in mind. |

11st 2lb |
Lightly raced for Henry de Bromhead but she signed off for that yard with a maiden win at Clonmel (2m3f, soft; sold on for £10,000); reluctant to race on yard debut at Galway last month, so caution advised. |

Lightly raced for Henry De Bromhead but she signed off for that yard with a maiden win (2m3f, soft; sold on for £10,000); could have more to offer for new yard but lacks a recent run and may prefer softer ground. |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap in July, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; down the field at Galway, fell three out at Sligo. |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; no such leeway at Galway since, weakening between final two flights; third over C&D last month, so trip of no concern. |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; 9lb rise okay on the face of it, but not sure if he'll back that up and 3lb out of handicap here. |
