Always been highly regarded; close third in Curragh Group 3 in May and excellent second in valuable handicap over same 1m2f trip back there lately; travels well so drop in trip no concern and handles a little ease; apparently bound for Australia after this. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of four) in the Kingwell Hurdle on return from layoff and debut for new stable; drops back in class but needs to prove he's still capable of reproducing best Irish form. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |

Flat, chase and dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien but he was out of sorts under both codes in his final two runs in Ireland; now returns to hurdling for new yard and this is a daunting task after 139 days off; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Placed twice over this trip (at Navan and Cork) before front-running 1m maiden win at Cork, beating Cuban Dawn who ran respectably off 91 in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot; makes handicap debut off 90 here and sets a good standard. |
4/1 |

1st 14 (2) |
23rd May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Two good runs this season both over 1m2f; strong chance if equally effective at this trip; slight concern that his second on heavy ground at Navan was better than his third on good-to-yielding at Cork, though he was beaten under 2l; a stable outsider was too good for Cuban Dawn last week. |

8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Out of the frame in all 14 starts and was beaten 12l in a small-field handicap at Chelmsford (1m6f) last month; has lots to prove back in trip and this looks tough at the weights; change of headgear. |

9st 9lb |
Inconsistent ex-Irish gelding who's never run on ground faster than good; didn't take to hurdles in one try last autumn but solid comeback off this mark three weeks ago and this does seem to be his time of year; no surprise to see him take this. |
7/4 |

3rd 6 (10) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten a nose at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 2lb lower today) last May but that's far and away the best of his six runs for James Owen, who won this race in 2024 and 2025; beaten 24l when evens for hurdling debut in October when last seen; needs a major revival. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not at his best either side of a Goodwood nose second (1m6f, good) since joining James Owen, though heavy ground and/or Class 2 company have offered excuses sometimes; not huge encouragement for hurdling on the damside pedigree, but starts at a most realistic level. |

Bumper winner; second of 16 at Cork (18.5f, good to yielding) off 93 on handicap debut in August for Denis Cullen; poor in two subsequent hurdle runs over further and no impact on debut for this yard at Dundalk last month; cheekpieces now tried and this ground will suit; check the market. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |
14/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
22/1 |

2-24 with both wins coming for Ger Lyons in Ireland (1m/1m2f); finished a close third of 19 behind Billyb here (1m, good) in July, but he refused to race at Ayr three weeks ago and has enough to prove after that. |

Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting. |

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland; quiet on hurdle/stable debut and although he ran better to be second at Worcester (2m, good to soft), that was a modest race; likely to need more here. |
