22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a similar handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in March and made another bold bid when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, good) 12 days ago; only just caught in that race and he's 4lb well in off the same mark here; strongly respected. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
He only beat two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) and the 6lb rise appeared to find him out when behind Midnight View at Warwick; he's back down 2lb but they did claim 3lb off his back last time. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Best effort for a while when beating two other finishers at Huntingdon (about 2m3f, good) last month; back up 6lb in a race that will take more winning but that recent success could have had a reviving effect. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |

Lightly raced 6yo for whom it's early days with this yard and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's finished down the field on both runs this year, after missing all of 2024, and he has plenty to prove. |

Well-related gelding showed little for Joseph O'Brien; modest form on that Flat and over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell; had a run in a point-to-point last November; little apparent chance unless a change of scene has brought about improvement. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Is 1-9 over hurdles; last sighted in May beating a subsequent two-time winner in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick (19.5f, good); sole win over timber came in November of last year off 90 on soft at Cork (2m); seems best going right handed and might need this on his return from 127 days off. |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Record of 1-9 over hurdles but has been consistent enough in handicaps, mostly on easier ground; has 10l to find with Warm In Gorey from his chasing debut at Wexford but will have improved from then; yard in great form and a player. |

Towards the rear at Fairyhouse and Navan on his first two starts over hurdles; one of three runners for the stable here, all of whom are likely to need more experience. |

Champs Elysees gelding; cost 6,500Euros as a 3yo; half-brother to bumper, 2m Flat (RPR 89) and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner The Very Man; dam unraced half-sister to bumper/useful 2m2f-2m7f jump winner Howlongisafoot; worth a market check but others look more likely. |
