24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won this last year off 78 to notch his second Flat win in first-time cheekpieces; no surprise to see him leave his exceedingly moderate Gowran return behind back on good ground with the cheekpieces back on. |

9th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Decent dual-purpose sort finished second in last year's Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and two fine Flat runs on good ground in May, second at Killarney and decisive win in first-time cheekpieces over 1m6f at the Curragh off 78; 9lb higher and ground probably softer than ideal but yard in cracking form and can't be ruled out on return. |

25th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |

One win apiece over hurdles and on the Flat (this trip); runner-up in the Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and two solid Flat efforts lately; needs a bit more with cheekpieces added. |

Second reserve; best efforts have come on good ground, including C&D second last season off 47; soft ground against him of late and similar scenario here. |

Wasn't beaten far here on penultimate start over further; didn't build on that at Sligo subsequently and tough race to break the maiden tag. |

Sole win came on AW; creditable effort on good to firm at Ayr before lesser run at Dundalk last Friday; unproven on this sort of ground and has a poor draw; cheekpieces. |

Sole win came here last September (1m5f, good) but numerous placings include this term at Sligo; not much luck in running at Leopardstown on latest so remains of interest, especially given his record here. |
8/1 |
|
9th 10 (13) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 10lb |
1-28 record is a concern; compiled a sequence of seconds; placed seven times in all, including at Sligo 12 days ago; senior rider aboard, with a very capable apprentice on the stable's other runner Eastern Wind; hard to be sure which one will prove best. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

Decent performer over this kind of trip; had four seconds (three for this rider) and a win last year and he's had a spin over hurdles to warm up; ground doesn't matter to him and should be thereabouts. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual course winner last spring who was well fancied over C&D on Friday, only to overrace in a messy affair; needs considering under Oisin Murphy, who's taking a first ride for the trainer (always to be respected with runners here). |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 46y |

Dual-purpose maiden; 0-8 on the Flat and yet to trouble the judge; well beaten on debut for this yard at Navan; others appeal more. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |

Dual-purpose maiden was pulled-up over hurdles when last seen; seems best watched back in this sphere after a layoff; new yard. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Modest Flat maiden ran reasonably in her opening three maiden hurdles but was well behind at Downpatrick latest; worth a market check on handicap debut. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Modest Flat maiden has run respectably in her three hurdle starts including here last time; isn't the yard's first-string on jockey bookings but can't be ruled out. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Won his second race when scoring over 1m at Limerick but was disappointing off this mark at Killarney last week when raced keenly; needs to rebound. |

12 (11) |
14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner last year; solid form at 1m this season and won impressively at Limerick (1m, good) on latest off 8lb lower; drawn wide but that shouldn't be an issue given his run style; career high mark but there could be more to come. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

30th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 66y |

Fit from Flat action, has shown a fair standard over hurdles; third in maidens at Wexford and Killarney in August; gets a useful weight allowance. |
