11st 12lb |
9yo has won three of his last five; career best when winning easily at Limerick (3m, yielding to soft) on latest; 9lb higher here in a stronger race so he'll need to improve again but that's not impossible; due to go up another 1lb; not discounted. |

Won a valuable handicap chase at Listowel (2m6f, soft to heavy; handles good) in September when 6lb lower and kept on well to finish third back over hurdles last time; not entirely dismissed, though he is an 11yo now and does lack recent match practice. |

Ex-Irish 7yo with 1-10 strike-rate over hurdles, the win gained at Sligo (3m1f, soft) last summer; out of form when last seen in the winter; considered only if lively in the betting before this stable debut. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

Irish raider; not one to rely upon heavily but won over C&D last summer and was placed over C&D (also on good) last month; didn't run badly in a subsequent chase; major player if on a going day. |

Ended a barren spell when pouncing late at Perth in 2025 over hurdles (3m, good); best run of the season came in the same race last time when a 1.75l third of 11; 1-27 in chases, but this is just his second attempt in this low grade. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won two points for this stable in early 2025 and was a dual hurdle winner for Alastair Ralph last season, latterly at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; good ground also suits) in March; absent since falling in the spring but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |
9/2 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
The winner of two of his six starts for this stable, most recently at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in March off 4lb lower, but didn't quite match that level when fourth (2m4f, good) at Plumpton last month; may need to find more but likely to be in the mix. |

7yo who has a fair bit of experience but has been progressive for a new yard this term, making it two wins from his last three runs (2m3f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when scoring at Warwick last time; entitled to respect. |

Chase form gradually tailed off after winning at Roscommon in June; has had a little break since his last run here and is certainly good enough to get involved. |

13yo veteran has won seven times over hurdles; mixing chasing and hurdling lately but hasn't looked like adding to his haul; however, he has won here before over shorter and he is 5lb below his last winning mark; not totally discounted but a revival is needed. |
