6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) in Ireland and was also placed over jumps; however, brought down early and pulled up in two maiden hurdles for current yard and a visor replaces usual cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting. |

A 1m4f winner at Fairyhouse last year; however, has been poor both starts this year and needs a revival; trip looks a bit sharp. |

Fairyhouse winner over this trip last summer (good) before C&D second off 66, trained then by Sheila Lavery; poor comeback run (keen) at Naas last month so plenty of improvement needed. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 84y |

Returns from a break/makes stable debut; consistent last year and winner of a Fairyhouse handicap last June off a mark of 56 (1m4f, good); 2.25l second at Galway and 3.75l third at Tipperary both over 1m4f on her final two starts last year mean she is now 13lb higher than her win. |

Irish-trained mare; placed in two big fields in August (2m2f/2m4f, good) and posted another good effort when close seventh of 16 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding; refitted cheekpieces) three weeks ago; has Sean Bowen booked for first attempt at this new trip; likely contender. |

Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

Overcame a troubled passage when getting up late to win a 1m2f classified at Lingfield on second start for this yard but he just couldn't pick up over the shorter trip at Wolverhampton (about 1m) next time; unraced here but acts on Tapeta and remains of interest with more suitable test. |
