3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; the best of these over hurdles (rated 143); no impact on first three starts for this yard in hot handicap hurdles; well beaten on sole previous chase start at Cork when with Gavin Cromwell but this much easier; wouldn't want it too soft. |
11/8 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins apiece on the Flat and over hurdles during his time with Gavin Cromwell but well beaten in a big-field handicap on the Flat and over hurdles (behind a few of these at Dublin Racing Festival) since joining current yard; the refitting of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

Two-time Flat winner ran well over hurdles at Ballinrobe last May but disappointed in three runs since and has been off since last July; likely best watched on first start for new stable. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Reserve; dual Flat winner, though was last in that discipline 17 days ago; tailed off the time before over hurdles but a repeat of her third at Ballinrobe would see her competitive. |

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve. |

Both wins have come over the extended 7f at Roscommon, the latter occasion in May off 40; badly out of form in recent months; will be well accustomed to this surface, since he is locally trained. |

Won as a 2yo on the Flat (heavy); now getting it together over hurdles and he comfortably saw off six rivals at Bellewstown last week (2m1f, good); 9lb higher for this trickier assignment but has the wind in his sails. |

Dual handicap winner and better than ever when third of 23 at Leopardstown over Christmas (good to yielding); slower ground not ideal since then and could be a factor here in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |

Gained second handicap win off 104 at Cork in November (2m, yielding); well beaten at Punchestown next time but improved for step up in trip when staying on third of 23 at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, good to yielding); weakened into a 20l fifth of ten at Thurles (2m7f, heavy); better chance if the ground dries out. |

In excellent form in 2026; beaten a head at Ayr in March (2m, soft); won easily over this C&D (good) early last month; denied by a neck at Cartmel (2m6f, good) on latest; 12lb higher now than when successful here but can give another good account. |

2nd 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |

Last two visits to Britain resulted in a win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last June and a narrow loss at Ayr (2m, soft) this March; won well at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) 15 days ago and all three of those runs were under Oran McGill; needs plenty of respect despite his steeply revised mark. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Justified market support at Hexham this time last year (2m4f, good to soft) to open his account; poor in two chase runs in October, but was again well backed at Ayr in March when denied by a head in a first-time tongue tie (2m, soft, 9-4 fav'); return to further can help; big player. |
