28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-10 over hurdles; good effort at big odds when a 4.5l fourth of 18 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; didn't back that up at Fairyhouse on latest; would have a place chance with a repeat of that Sandown run. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Hasn't added to Galway 3yo maiden win although last month's return from winter break was encouraging, not fluent last when fourth of 18 behind Mondo Man in Imperial Cup at Sandown; runs off same mark here, rider's claim a positive. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who failed to threaten on his last two hurdle starts last autumn; however, a break may have helped and he was a close third of 15 at Galway (2m1f, good) last August; his maiden hurdle win came on yielding to soft; has an each-way shout if back on song; tongue-tie is left off. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who has his moods and always been capable of fluffing the start; one of his better efforts a month ago, switched from cheekpieces to second-time blinkers, but is not guaranteed to repeat the dose. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Twice well beaten off this mark since winning narrowly at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; can blow the start; blinkers return, but risky. |

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |

22nd May 2023 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 100y |

First foal; dam German 1m3f winner, half-sister to numerous winners inc Now We Can (French 1m4f Group 2) and New Harzburg (German 2m4f Listed) out of German 1m3f-1m4f winner; plenty of stamina in this newcomer's pedigree; stable's juveniles are flying and interesting to see what the market makes of him. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |

Course 1m5f winner in June; backed that up with a narrow defeat at Bellewstown; unplaced on last three starts; perhaps too high in the ratings now, though the booking of Jody Townend is a positive. |

Winner over 1m5f at Navan (good) in June off 11lb lower; followed up with narrow defeat at Bellewstown (split Numidia and Celestially); obvious chance on that form but folded tamely at Leopardstown 29 days ago. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner for Dermot Weld; ran twice at the big recent meeting at Galway, predictably struggling in a Listed hurdle but then running okay over 1m4f; 0-5 as a jumper but was runner-up over C&D last month; chance. |
7/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |

British raider; won twice on the Flat when trained by Dermot Weld (1-9 on turf); ran well in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle on penultimate; out of depth in Listed hurdle here earlier this week; this more realistic but difficult draw. |

Improved from debut when beaten just 1l in a Fairyhouse claimer but low-key effort over 1m at Thurles last week; has a bit to find but yard's first-string at least. |

5th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 11y |

Met trouble in running on debut at Navan; stayed on well for third in a 7f claiming race at Fairyhouse; this trip should suit and he looks best of four runners for Joseph O'Brien. |

3rd 3 (7) |
18th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Only one place and 1.25l behind the fourth Tartaraghan when fifth on debut at Navan and considering he did not have the run of the race on that occasion (dwelt start and checked turing in), no surprise with the experience under his belt if he improves past her; definite shout. |

Close up in third in a first-time tongue-tie in a 1m2f handicap at Cork, ran in snatches but was staying on at the finish; took a while to warm to his task at Gowran but again showed ability in keeping on well from an unpromising position; longer trip may help to bring out the best in him. |
