18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up here a month ago; opposable at this level. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all, winning unchallenged in a Catterick claimer (2m, good) in March, changing hands for £12,000; failed to beat a rival on the Flat at Southwell (1m3f) on first start for this trainer the following month, and pulled up on chase debut next time; returning to hurdles is a sensible move. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Thorough Flat stayer who reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race; good ground looked okay for him last season but a muted display at Royal Ascot nine weeks ago perhaps confirmed that anything firmer is not ideal; either way, another career best is needed today. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Brought from Ireland last year for Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, soft; second off 6lb lower than today) and the Cesarewitch (2m2f, good to firm; 14th); reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race, but another career high is needed. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner was last seen over timber finishing eighth of 24 in the 2025 Martin Pipe (2m5f, good to soft); kept on Flat since then and added a third win in that sphere when successful at Navan last time (1m6f, heavy); most of his wins came on good ground, so leading contender back over obstacles fit and in form. |

10st 9lb |
Sole win over hurdles came here in 2024; also ran well on the Flat here when second in a 1m4f maiden when 1.25l ahead of Dream On Baby; well below that level at Galway since so has to rebound. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 43y |
11st 7lb |
Poor strike rate hurdling (1-25) and pick of three recent runs on the Flat when staying on late into second in 1m4f Tramore maiden (found to have in blood in both nostrils); interesting but this is a stronger maiden. |

Cheekpieces go on after being well beaten in recent starts, including one Flat run; her mark is dropping but hard to have faith in her. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Winner of a 2m mares' maiden hurdle on good ground at Wexford last August; pulled up in a novice handicap at Fairyhouse on her final start last season; well beaten in fourth at Sligo ten weeks ago; hard to fancy. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 0lb |
Winner of a mares' maiden hurdle at Wexford last August (2m, good); okay run at Ballinrobe when 10.5l third in April (2m5f, good); pulled up in a novice handicap at Fairyhouse and last of all on the Flat at Navan last time; tongue-tie worn that day now left off; others preferred. |

Flat winner is now 0-12 hurdling, couple of poor runs at Down Royal earlier in the year for this yard; hard to fancy. |

Placed form in maidens and in Ballinrobe handicap for Andrew McNamara and likes good ground; after long absence, tailed off over 2m4f here on yard debut. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
11st 8lb |
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. |
