14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |
25/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |
10/1 |

3 (15) |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

3rd 2 (1) |
2nd May 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish challenger who has been placed in three Listed races, most recently third at Cork 11 days ago; can give another good account but this 5yo has an exposed profile and looks vulnerable in today's line-up. |

23rd Jun 2023 Soft 1m 4f 110y |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner in France last year for David Menuisier and ran the race of her life when third in the Group 1 Prix de Royallieu; not near that level in two starts for current yard (keen) but Curragh run was encouraging and return to softer ground here will suit. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (3) |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders on inner, disputing third 4f out, ridden over 2f out, kept on final 110yds, no match for first two |

24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Major 1m5f handicap winner last term and better form this season, including when getting up in the final strides in 1m4f Listed race at Cork and taking fifth of 18 in handicap at Royal Ascot; the latter was her first run on good to firm and she did well considering the trouble she met weaving her way through from the back; it is needed (she carries a penalty) but she still looks capable of better. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 154y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer although hasn't won since taking 3m1f Kilbeggan conditions hurdle last summer; two recent runs under his belt could give him a fitness edge but lots to find on ratings with Hewick. |
7/4 |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 129y |
11st 6lb |
Eight-time winner, including four over hurdles; disappointed on the Flat at Killarney on return from 314-days off; should strip fitter now and handles soft but the majority of his best form has come on good ground; not discounted, especially if the track dries out. |
7/2 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Won the 2022 Cesarwitch at Newmarket and last seen finishing fourth in the same race last October; the one to beat on these terms, provided he's ready to rock after his absence. |

Unplaced in her five attempts at Listed level this term and this is tougher. |
50/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
23rd Jun 2023 Soft 1m 4f 110y |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't added to her Navan maiden win of 2021 and has largely struggled so far in Listed company; hard to see her playing a role. |
33/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
27th May 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
slowly into stride, soon recovered towards rear, pushed along from over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, dropped to last inside final 110yds, eased towards finish |

29th Jul 2024 Soft 2m 0f 179y |
11st 10lb |
Won a premier handicap over 1m4f here at the 2022 festival, fair fifth of 17 in the same race last season; fit from a hurdling campaign in which he has been placed in three consecutive maidens; half-brother to the stable's 2016 winner Swamp Fox; brother to smart jumper Knappers Hill; potentially interesting if he gets the trip. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
didn't always jump with fluency, led narrowly early, prominent after 1st, led again from 3 out, faced challenge and clear with one other 2 out, headed approaching last, ridden and no extra run-in, no match for winner |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 100y |

prominent, bit short of room when switched right before 2 out, not fluent 2 out, soon switched right, no extra after last, no match for first two |
