22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hard to predict and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month, but he may have needed that run and he won this race (firm) off 3lb higher last year; should get a good pace to aim at and he needs a close look in the market. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a double off 2lb higher over C&D (firm) last May but he's not hit the same level in five runs since; has bit to prove after 171 days off and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; visor is removed and cheekpieces are reapplied. |

9st 9lb |
Acts on heavy; 12-race maiden in Ireland for Michael O'Meara, short-headed once in 2023; blinkered last time (June, best run this term) and now tries cheekpieces; with same owner and well down the weights, so a case can be made on this British debut. |

1st Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February and was good second at Chelmsford (1m2f) in April; well held at Kempton last month but he travelled smoothly for a long way and may have stretched stamina on that step up to 1m3f; now drops back in trip/grade and he's not ruled out. |

1st May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Essentially holding form in defeat since February's gambled-on Wolverhampton success (9.5f), not for the first time shaping as if today's trip might be worth a go when a keeping-on second at Chelmsford latest (1m2f, had to wait for a run); still well treated on last year's peak Irish form. |

11st 10lb |
AW winner; fifth behind subsequent chase Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); flattered by that detail; pulled up in a Bellewstown maiden hurdle last week; has plenty of weight, hard to fancy. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner is 1-28 under rules (the win coming on AW in 2024) and was disappointing at Dundalk when last seen; 0-5 over hurdles, with his best effort a 14.5l fifth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); probably flattered by that placing, but it's interesting that Jack Kennedy takes the ride (2-5 riding for this trainer). |

Ex-Irish maiden; well beaten in two 7f runs for new stable but she's down in grade here and blinkers are given a go (cheekpieces tried latest); check betting. |

Showed ability on her first two starts when trained in Ireland but has been a long way off that level in two more starts there and on her first run for this trainer; cheekpieces now tried and need to have a big effect. |

Fair middle-distance Flat maiden in Ireland; comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) on hurdle/stable debut but flopped at Catterick next time and again below form back here (behind two of these) on latest start; carries his head awkwardly; questions to answer. |
