11st 12lb |
Signed off for Jennie Candlish with 2m hurdling success at Catterick in March; not discredited for current yard with fourth of seven in 2m3f Stratfrord selling handicap last month; may need more here. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up at Market Rasen before flying too high there in the Summer Hurdle; this is a lot more realistic. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
11st 8lb |
Career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) in March and then a creditable third in 3m handicap hurdle, since when he's struggled in two strong Flat handicaps at Royal Ascot and York; one to be interested in off a realistic mark. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 5lb |
1-25 over hurdles and runner-up on her recent chase debut; did finish second in a 1m4f maiden in July and not without hope on that form. |

27th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
12st 4lb |
Sole win over hurdles came at Tramore in 2024, best of five runs on the Flat came when second at same venue in 1m4f maiden in July, didn't count over 2m there latest; others look more likely on handicap debut. |

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. |
14/1 |

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. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |

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. |
