30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-6 for current stable and needs to better his recent efforts but is now 5lb lower than when creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and can't be ruled out; visor removed after one use. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear. |

Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped. |

19th May 2023 Good 2m 2f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner in 2021 has run some cracking races in defeat in six hurdle tries, including when second here in April; below that level at Tramore since at 2m when 4-7fav; needs to return to previous best. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
17th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper performer has stepped up a level in performance on latest two maiden hurdle runs, finishing second at Navan (2m, heavy) and chased home a warm favourite over 2m6f at Downpatrick on soft; clearly trip-versatile but this sharp 2m possibly not ideal; major player all the same. |

11th May 2023 Soft 2m 0f 54y |

17th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Mahler mare is second foal of a point-to-point winner, from the family of 2m-3m7f hurdle/chase winner (inc Triumph Hurdle) Paddy's Return; market likely best guide on debut from a respected source. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both wins on heavy, latterly a 2m chase at Leicester in February; creditable third at Plumpton next time but didn't jump well when remote fourth over 2m5f here (good to soft) four weeks ago; on the back of that the cheekpieces he's worn on his last five outings are replaced by a first-time visor. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

The ground was heavy for his hurdle win in Ireland (2m3f) and when scoring by 8l at Leicester two runs ago (2m), opening his chase account after wind surgery; ran okay off this 7lb higher mark at Plumpton (soft) latest but drying conditions might not be favourable. |

Dual Flat winner in 2020 on contrasting ground for previous yard; some decent runs in maiden hurdles last year for Peter Fahey and not one to rule out here off reduced mark. |
8/1 |

6th 1 |
17th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Dual Flat winner and useful level of form over hurdles, including in handicaps and when third to Marine Nationale in Punchestown maiden in October when last seen; has since left Peter Fahey's yard and returns from six month's break on ground softer than ideal but major chance on his best form. |

11st 9lb |
Maiden under rules in Ireland (0-3 as a chaser) but he had a few wins and places to his name in 25 point starts; the latest wasn't his best but he still went and joined Dan Skelton for £8,000; that alone heightens interest in him. |

Absent 297 days; 0-5 over hurdles but all his Rules runs have come on ground with soft or heavy in the description; was placed in a point-to-point on good and his two winning half-brothers both scored on a sound surface so the better ground here may spark some improvement. |

Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; also good second in 2m Navan handicap chase, possibly found 3m4f stamina test too much at Punchestown latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |
