14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, as he showed when winning a handicap chase off 120 at Ballinrobe in May; no impact in a 1m4f Tramore maiden since but this longer trip and more conventional track is more likely to suit; could go well. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner over jumps in Britain, best known for his 2023 win in the Old Roan Handicap Chase at Aintree; ordinary form in points and hunter chases for this stable before finding a new lease of life when winning a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; asking a lot here on belated Flat debut at the age of 11. |

Smart performer in Britain back in the day; went point-to-pointing over the winter and held in hunter chases lately; unlikely. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won well off 4lb lower at Aintree in May (3m1f, good) and a 4lb higher mark doesn't look too damaging; strongly considered as fitness is unlikely to be an issue given his yard. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Smart chaser for Harry Fry; two point-to-point wins for current yard this year; midfield in Listowel hunter chase on latest (beaten 18.5l); more needed back over hurdles. |
20/1 |

6th 6 |
1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 11lb |
Won a Grade 2 handicap over 2m4f a couple of years ago for Harry Fry before losing form; some good efforts in point-to-points, including recent win under this jockey; previously, was only around 7l off stablemate Solitary Man over 2m4f at Cork (disqualified, rider weighed in marginally light). |

7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Triple hurdle/chase winner at around 2m on good or slower; yet to race beyond 1m5f in this code, nor in a handicap; initial mark gives him a chance based on his best Irish effort; market check suggested. |
