30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-6 for current stable and needs to better his recent efforts but is now 5lb lower than when creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and can't be ruled out; visor removed after one use. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winless below an extended 2m3f, but 18l second to a thriving 4yo over C&D latest (good) under Harry Brown; enjoys a significant race-fitness edge over all of his rivals in what looks a marginally weaker 0-120. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 1-22 over fences, the win coming at Carlisle over 2m4f in April 2025 in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when trained in Ireland; has been below his best on last two runs and drops back in trip; others hold stronger claims. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has modest 2-31 strike-rate under rules but came second over 2m4f on two of his first three starts after a wind op in March, and looked stretched by 3m when below that form last month; versatile regarding ground and enters calculations. |

One of his two chase wins came over C&D, that was in 2023; out of form this year and not easy to fancy at present. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Gained a first chasing success here (2m5f) in December 2024; has proved unreliable since and pulled up over 3m here when last seen out in May; needs subsequent breathing surgery (also tongue tied) to spark a revival. |
20/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent last season but wasn't beaten too far on his stable debut here before sent over 4m at Hexham; likes the mud so could do with some rain. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very inconsistent this season but he ran okay when fifth on his stable debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last Monday, in the process shaping as though this marathon trip would be worth exploring; not ruled out. |

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner in 2020 for Noel Meade; returned from a three-year absence in October; well beaten in his first chase, fell mid-race in the second, tailed off at Limerick, and only limited encouragement from Down Royal run |

17th Dec 2023 Yielding 1m 7f 205y |

Useful hurdler for Peter Flood last season, highlight being Leopardstown novice handicap win off 114; pulled up in big handicaps on final two starts and two underwhelming chase efforts this term; blinkers now fitted for hurdles return. |

Has shown best form, including sole success, in 2m chases at Sedgefield; beaten long way in 2m1f hurdle here last time; enough to prove back up in distance. |
