31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Won off 5lb lower here in May (2m3f, good to yielding); bounced back from two below-par efforts to finish a 3.75l third at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); return to this venue and application of a tongue tie may get a bit more from him. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |
11st 8lb |
Gained his second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Downpatrick handicap in May; withdrawn twice on good ground before allowed to take his chance at Galway last week but never counted on similar ground when midfield over 2m; back up in trip here, any easing in the ground would help his chances. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Won a very weak race at Kelso in May, beating the only other finisher; pulled up over fences at Wexford next time before runner-up in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle in August; won well at the same venue 13 days ago, despite his rider losing his irons on the run-in; improving sort. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y |
11st 6lb |
Won a non-event over hurdles by a street at Kelso in May, beating only other rival to stand up; pulled up over fences at Wexford next time before runner-up in C&D handicap hurdle 18 days ago; prominent racer can make the odd mistake but he's in the mix. |

Won a non-event over hurdles by a street at Kelso in May, beating only other rival to stand up; back over hurdles following a less than fluent chasing bow at Wexford last time; others more appealing. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved. |
2/1 |

3rd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |
15/1 |

4th 2 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 182y |
11st 12lb |
Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all in Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (3m2f, good); bounced back from Downpatrick fourth with success at Perth 23 days ago (3m, good); respected on chase debut but wouldn't want it too soft. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all at Ballinrobe (3m2f, good); had to settle for fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) a week ago but still features prominently in calculations. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Added a second hurdles win at Ballinrobe three weeks ago (3m2f, good) on his second start for new yard; up 5lb for that but should continue to give a good account of himself. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 1lb |
Two hurdle wins at Downpatrick this year, and is a course winner over 2m, but this trip is likely to be too sharp; fourth in Listowel hurdle race Thursday |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Two wins over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f/2m6f) earlier this year, and didn't run badly there in August; below best in rare Flat run at Down Royal last time but not one to rule out. |

1-35 over hurdles with the win coming over 3m1f at Kilbeggan in June; tried over fences since but well beaten last twice over hurdles; stable starting to find some form again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 3lb |
1-35 over hurdles with the win coming at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); some placed efforts over fences following that but tailed off over hurdles at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); hard to be confident in given her overall profile. |

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

1-34 over hurdles and 0-12 over fences; hard to be confident with that profile, though she has made the frame in five of her last six outings; career highlight when beating Katie's Kasper over 3m at Kilbeggan in May. |

One of two for yard; won decisively at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, gd-yld) off 6lb lower; pulled up next time at Wexford (25.5f, gd-yld) and tailed off over hurdles here on return from a break on latest; needs to rebound. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle here in 2024 (good); was chasing last season and finally got a win in that sphere at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, good to yielding) off 96 but pulled up at Wexford last time; Mickey Cohen appears to be the stable's best chance. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Won a 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap last time on similar ground; is up 6lb and has questions over this trip as he failed to see out 3m2f at Down Royal two starts back. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Course maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) winner two years ago for this trainer; just three outings since, and poor in two of them; however, positive runner-up finish in a 2m2f conditions hurdle here last time when badly treated at the weights; can't be ruled out after that. |

2nd 6 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
C&D maiden winner two years ago for this trainer; has had just two outings since, latest when pulled up after losing touch three out in 2m Kilbeggan handicap won by Malbay Madness in May; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 7lb |
Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner in July 2024; considering he was returning from 552 days off, it wasn't a bad effort seventh of 13 at Thurles when badly hampered by a faller in sole start for Natalia Lupini; returns to original trainer now. |
