30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |

Seven-time winner, on a long losing sequence now, although soft/heavy ground not ideal of late; handicapper relenting so don't rule out with ground more in his favour; rider/trainer had a winner at Roscommon on Monday. |

Beat Zoffman (rec 6lb) under top-weight in this race last year when recording career-best RPR; promising reappearance here over 1m2f last month behind Crystal Black but never landed a blow behind same rival at Ascot nine days ago; respected nonetheless. |

Last run on the Flat was at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown last November before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts; trainer may have a better prospect for this in Too Bossy For Us |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden. |
100/1 |

19th 12 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of four) in the Kingwell Hurdle on return from layoff and debut for new stable; drops back in class but needs to prove he's still capable of reproducing best Irish form. |
66/1 |
|
4th 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Flat, chase and dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien but he was out of sorts under both codes in his final two runs in Ireland; now returns to hurdling for new yard and this is a daunting task after 139 days off; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

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 |

16th 7 |
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. |
25/1 |

12th 4 |
1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

22nd Jul 2024 Yielding 1m 4f 178y |

Was disqualified after winning a Sligo handicap before running well in defeat in stronger handicaps at Cork and Curragh over this trip; should be a big player back to maiden company. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |
6/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose sort showed decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; not an easy horse to win with and has to rebound now after a failure over hurdles at Tramore. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
C&D maiden winner; 1m6f win (good) at Navan on seasonal reappearance in April off 91; below par in three runs since but is now 1lb lower than for that last victory; return to AW might spark a revival. |
15/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 11lb |
Made winning seasonal debut over 1m6f at Navan in April; below-form when favourite at Cork for 1m4f event won by Ascending; tailed off behind the same horse in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; has won over 1m4f and 1m2f. |
10/1 |

20th 12 (3) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Most starts on good ground, unraced on firmer; lightly raced 5yo who had 282 days off before emerging from off the pace to win narrowly at Navan (1m6f) in April; below-form favourite behind Ascending at Cork (1m4f) six weeks ago but going beyond 1m6f for the first time is interesting and he holds possibilities if that latest run is forgiven. |

Second runner for stable; formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort in eight starts for current yard a 8.75l seventh behind a few of his rivals here in the Q.R. race at Galway; burst blood vessels on latest start at Tramore; coming down the weights but yard has a better chance with Seddon. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Two time winner over hurdles; last win came at Fairyhouse last October for James Barrett off 109 (2m, good); a pair of okay runs over hurdles this summer but needs to bounce back from a poor run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month; contender if she does so. |
4/1 |

23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 9y |
10st 0lb |
Dual-purpose mare with three wins on the Flat; last win in this sphere came two years ago at the Curragh off a 5lb higher mark (1m6f, good); her two runs over hurdles for her new trainer this term have been okay; needs to come on again. |
28/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose mare has won eight races across both codes; made a pleasing enough start for this yard when third of six at Ballinrobe on first run for over six months; should come on for that but she remains 6lb above her last win and she won't want it too soft. |
9/2 |
