5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Just 1-24 over hurdles when based in Ireland and was pulled up (albeit on slow ground) on chasing debut in February; ran well to a point when back over hurdles for new stable ten days ago (first-time cheekpieces) but was well held in the end; others look safer. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Had modest 2-44 strike-rate under rules when based in Ireland and was pulled up in a chase on latest outing five weeks ago; not an easy one to weigh up but might have been perked up by recent stable switch; wears first-time cheekpieces; well worth a glance in the market. |

Nine wins in Britain; no success in Ireland; fair recent form but needs to find extra judging by Galway fourth and previous C&D sixth when Special Protector and Dinamine were in front of him. |

9st 2lb |
Winner on soft at Sligo in 2023 and added 1m4f Dundalk AW win this time last year; recent runs at latter venue leave him with a fair bit to find however. |

His two wins include a C&D score last October; mixed form on turf this year and beaten nearly 7l over 1m2.5f here last week; this trip suits better but still needs more. |

11st 0lb |
Locally trained; won over C&D (good) off 6lb lower when last seen in July 2025; absence since is concerning and record fresh indicates he will come on for this run. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 146y |
10st 8lb |
15-race maiden but one of his better recent efforts when third of 15 over 2m4f here on his penultimate outing; lesser effort at Ballinrobe last time but ran well on his sole previous effort at this sort of distance. |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 63y |

Dual-purpose maiden; 0-9 over hurdles; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 7.25l third of 15 at Sligo last time out; ran well over this C&D a year ago when a 1l second of 16 off 5lb lower; rain would be a worry, chance if it misses. |

0-8 over timber but went close at Killarney last summer and arrives on the back of a big Flat run; on a fair mark and not many of her rivals arrive in-form. |

Having first run for this yard when winning a 1m5f handicap at Sligo (yielding to soft) in May but this looks a better race and he's struggled under both codes since; tongue-tie added. |
