8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 0lb |
Useful three-time winning hurdler in Britain; yet to show much since joining this yard and extended chase record to 0-8 when beaten 31l in the Killarney National last time; 2lb drop in the weights and new blinkers not enough to tempt. |
28/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Three wins over hurdles when trained in the UK and was Grade 3-placed; below that form in four chase starts for this yard and has to stage a revival. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time hurdles winner for Gary Moore; yet to get his head in front in six chase runs; soundly beaten both completed starts for this stable and pulled up on latest at Navan (3m, heavy); leap of faith required to back him here. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Scored twice over fences early last year (once on heavy); 0-10 over hurdles but runner-up in eight of those, including at Warwick (3m2f, soft) on latest start when he blundered at the final flight but looked booked for second anyway; this race looks too tough. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Mudlover who has won four times over fences and he's run creditably at Warwick (3m, good to soft) and over C&D (soft) in last two starts; finished behind Lumi Plugin last time but he should give it another good shot and any rain would be a bonus. |
9/4 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mudlover who was out of sorts in just three runs last winter but ran well for a long way in a better race than this at Bangor (3m, soft) in April and kept on gamely when third at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month; this more testing ground will suit better; solid claims. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced all nine hurdling starts; gave fairly good account before weakening into fourth of seven over C&D (good) in March but is effectively 9lb higher from out of the weights today; gained his point win on soft to heavy ground. |
40/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth over hurdles at Stratford last July and he's now 9lb lower; this 10yo is now 0-12 under rules having struggled on his three starts since but those were over fences; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 1-7 in points and he's 0-11 under rules; still unexposed over regulations fences but he struggled back in this sphere in two runs at Worcester (2m7f, good) in the autumn; has lots to prove after four months off and he's well into the veteran stage. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Consistent gelding on his favoured good ground, winning twice this year in small fields; beaten 9l into second in another last time but there's a big run in him. |

5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In great form on good ground this spring, winning twice and running well in between; raised only a further 2lb for Wincanton performance (3m1f) last time; likely to remain competitive. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury last March on good to soft; dug deepest to get off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) and ran well last week at Exeter, for all that only two got round (he was hampered by the faller). |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Successful on this card two years ago; campaigned mostly over 2m4f/2m5f but saw out 3m well at Perth (good) most recently, adding to his Grade 2 handicap success in April and taking chase record to 9-30; better than ever and commands respect. |
9/2 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Good ground is key to him, though good to soft is acceptable; after signs of a revival at the Cheltenham Festival he duly delivered in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Haydock, winning cosily despite narrow margin of victory; the 4lb rise seemed generous and when beaten at Uttoxeter he bumped into the talented Glengouly on a good day; all his best form is at shorter, so stamina would be the principal concern. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground is the key to him; his form had nosedived but he was running much better when hampered late on at the Cheltenham Festival and then came good at Haydock (2m4f, good), prevailing only narrowly but under a confident ride in a strong race (he also won it the season before when staged at Cheltenham); a 4lb rise seems very generous. |
