25th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
0-9 since her two wins in August 2023 but currently in a consistent vein of form; raced mainly at sprint distances but ran respectably over 7f at Leicester (heavy) most recently and again has frame possibilities. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |
16/1 |
|
5 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |
6/1 |
|
7 (11) |
22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

9st 8lb |
Three-time winner on soft ground, including over C&D; hasn't won in over a year though, no show on both recent runs after a break; back in trip here and McMonagle booked but not an obvious one. |
16/1 |
|
6 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner on soft ground, including a C&D win off 70 this time last year; never figured from a wide draw at Listowel nine days ago after fruitless run over hurdles; Billy Lee booked; big player if close to her best; cheekpieces go back on. |
14/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
9st 10lb |
Three-time winner on soft ground; returns from a break after five fruitless runs over hurdles; remains 6lb above her last win but talented claimer takes off 7lb; conditions fine and could outrun likely odds. |

Ex-Ado McGuinness; won a Naas nursery on soft over 6f on handicap debut two seasons ago; has been on a losing run ever since; probably best watched on the first run for this stable. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 180y |
9st 12lb |
Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |
8/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |

Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip. |

Thed last of his two wins came at Bellewstown in 2023; some decent runs in defeat this year but was poor at Fairyhouse last time and has to rebound. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Three years since last win; running well this term but slow starts are killing him; wide draw not bad thing in that respect, because he can run home down the outer. |
