13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive handicapper this year, winning premier handicap over C&D in June and won at Gowran last month over same trip; well-backed but didn't seem to stay (keen) in 1m6f Ebor on latest when cheekpieces tried (now left off); upped in grade here and needs to improve. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; narrow win at the Curragh in June and he's continued the good work with his never-nearer fourth of 18 at the Galway festival and a more decisive win at Gowran Park ten days ago; they were all over about 1m4f (unraced beyond that on Flat) but 1m6f makes appeal and first-time cheekpieces might sharpen him up, including in the early stages; better is needed under his penalty but he's one to consider. |

Had been jumping before returning to the Flat with a narrow 1m4f win at the Curragh in June; gave a solid display off revised mark when fourth of 18 over the same trip in a valuable Galway festival event. |

Five starts, last four in blinkers; 10-11 but improved in a ten-runner handicap at Navan (1m2f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away but quickly close up, leading final 1f and winning in tidy fashion; probably remains well handicapped and could be capable of better again. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; flopped when odds-on at Wetherby in February and is now 0-8 over hurdles but suggested his turn might be near when third at Plumpton (2m, soft) on his penultimate run; cheekpieces are now added on his return and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

Two-time Flat winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had been struggling to get competitive in this code prior to his third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |

Hurdle/chase winner who has won four times on the Flat since moving to current yard earlier this year; lacks recent match practice over jumps and that could count against him in this competitive a race. |

Record of 0-9 but he ran his best race so far when a front-running second at Chelmsford (7f classified) on Saturday; this is a quick turnaround but he's well drawn back at this track and could make another bold bid. |

Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |

Won this in 2024 off 4lb higher, his last win; well beaten in repeat bid last season but then chased home Slieve Binnian in hot handicap at Leopardstown; not a bad run on seasonal return at Naas and soft wouldn't have suited on latest; could go well back on faster ground if the new blinkers provide a spark. |

Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider. |

Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in a 7f maiden here last Friday; previously, had often run well in defeat, in good company at times (has run in three Pattern races); 5f was too sharp here on his penultimate start; 1m should suit |
