24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
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). |

Beat Numidia by 2.25l here over 10.5f in his sole win from 27 starts in 2024; generally poor form in 2025; decent 4l fourth here in January (10.5f) but beaten 28l over hurdles last time; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time. |

Beaten a long way on turf in his last two races but he's much better on the AW and wasn't beaten far here in March; considered. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
No wins from 21 races; sent off the 9-2 favourite at Gowran for stable debut under today's rider but weakened inside the final furlong to finish sixth of 16; perhaps capable of more with that run under his belt considering his strength in the market that day. |
6/1 |

Winless from 20 starts; claimed for 5,000euros after much-improved neck defeat in 1m Dundalk claimer in October; failed to make an impact in four runs for Denis Hogan; new yard with good 7lb claimer aboard; market will guide. |

Dual 1m course winner added her eighth rules win when bagging a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; recent handicap runs here at big prices leave a bit to be desired; cheekpieces. |

Still a maiden and he beat only one rival when tried in cheekpieces in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham nine days ago; blinkers are reached for now. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (5) |
19th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden; attracted some support on his stable debut at Kempton four weeks ago (1m4f) where he finished a creditable fourth of the ten runners; needs more to defy the same mark but his best run for Johnny Murtagh came over 1m2f on good ground and new cheekpieces could help. |
14/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
22nd May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden whose opening handicap mark proved harsh, at 1m2f and 1m5f; has left Johnny Murtagh since last seen in April and probably needs weight off his back. |

11st 7lb |
Not a bad handicapper at around 1m1f/1m2f for Willie McCreery and fair form in three spins over hurdles, although tended to be too keen; picked up for 5,000euros in November; had a recent comeback run on the Flat. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (14) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |

Sole win for Willie McCreery came over 1m1f at Punchestown in 2024; some decent efforts in defeat last season and picked up for 5,000euros in November; debuts for local yard in first-time tongue-tie and market could be interesting. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Sole win came just over a year ago at Punchestown; some decent efforts in defeat this term and was third in a maiden hurdle last time; should be involved. |
