13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Henry de Bromhead; won a Warwick handicap hurdle on second start for Adrian Keatley in March (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces tried and retained) but pulled up on soft ground at Ayr last time; had four runs over fences in Ireland, best two runs when fourth in a couple of 2m3f handicaps at Wexford in August (good); interesting. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; only his second run for this yard when dropped back to 2m in this new headgear combination at Warwick (good to soft) and he made pretty much every yard; it will be tougher dominating this stronger field on this more galloping track, and he's 6lb higher. |

Maiden winner in Ireland and later placed in handicaps over fences; strong in the betting on last month's stable debut (2m4f; back hurdling) and weakened after getting taken on a good way out; new headgear combination tried and he's of interest. |

Maiden has yet to indicate any signs of winning potential; pulled up on latest at Clonmel and 2lb wrong here; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Progressive novice; built on Limerick second when winning a 2m5f Roscommon contest; stepped up again when scoring over a near-3m trip at Killarney; completed hat-trick on handicap debut in a 2m4f Gowran event at the beginning of the month; return to longer trip should play to his strength. |

Maiden over hurdles but got off the mark in a 2m5f Roscommon beginners' chase last time, second chase start; needs more in this company but is improving and can't be taken too lightly. |

Maiden's best effort a 10.5l third of 17 at Punchestown in January (19.5f, heavy); no show in three starts since and handicapper slow to relent; rain would improve his prospects but others appeal more. |

Maiden hurdle win last term came on good ground over 2m; didn't convince over further subsequently, not looking to stay 3m at Kilbeggan final occasion in May; stamina remains a concern here on return from five months' absence. |

16th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 50y |

Maiden hurdle win came on good ground over two miles back in November but has won a point-to-point; effectively brought down at the first on penultimate novice hurdle start when sent off at 7-1 (3m1f, good); dropped 2lb for lesser effort latest when finishing a well beaten seventh; trip and ground may aid his chance. |
