11st 12lb |
Four-time winner for Henry de Bromhead, including when bolting up by 12l over C&D last May; finished last season with two below-par runs; off 230 days and dropped 4lb on stable debut. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Won off 1120 at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) in May but 11lb rise halted his progress; remains 8lb above that last win and needs to find more to get his head back in front. |

More talented over fences than hurdles; won a beginners' and a 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan off 120; raised 10lb for that and unable to follow up back at that track the last twice; 4.5l behind Moonovercloon most recently; O'Keeffe chooses Native Speaker. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |
7/4 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |

A glimmer of promise in points and hurdle races when trained in Ireland and changed hands for 7,000gns this summer; 40-1, failed to show much on chase/handicap debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) there weeks ago; visor (tried once, well beaten but best form) returns. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in a maiden hurdle in Ireland two years ago but he's well handicapped on old Flat form and made an encouraging return for new yard when seventh of 20 in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW); conditions should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's one to keep an eye on. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well held in 2022 in his sole AW race; has been running over hurdles and fences in Ireland, with no win since a maiden hurdle nearly two years ago; sold out of Gordon Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; there's no tongue-tie today for the first time in three years and last jumps season's blinkers/cheekpieces are also absent; peak Flat form and new trainer's record with recruits are something to clutch at, though. |
