22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 12lb |
Looked to have lost his way in points and hunter chases but came back to his very best when landing the Midlands National at Kilbeggan; never competitive in the Galway Plate but has a stellar record at this venue and should run a big race. |
7/2 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 12lb |
Won a hunter chase in May and last time returned to his best when emerging from off a strong pace to beat Perceval Legallois in the 3m1f Midlands National at Kilbeggan; ideally wants further than this but a solid pace would help in that respect; back up 7lb. |

Fair novice chaser before going pointing and hunter chasing; again showed his affinity for Killarney when winning a hunter chase there in May before disappointing at Listowel; more needed. |

Wexford maiden hurdle winner (heavy) in 2021 but struggled in interrupted campaign in handicaps until much improved second at Killarney 11 days ago when splitting two in-form rivals on good ground; soft ground okay. |

Without a win for two years, but right back to form on his last two starts, especially when second wearing this headgear over 2m2f at Downpatrick last month; solid claims once more. |

2nd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Six-time winner over hurdles and fences; somewhat in and out this year but was very much on a going day when narrowly beaten in a 1m7f handicap chase at Tramore last time; stable does well here and a clear chance if he can reproduce that; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |

Six-time winner, including over C&D in a novice chase two years ago; form has been in and out over the last 12 months but best effort in that time came over C&D when 4.25l second off 4lb higher in May; below form last twice, pulled up at Wexford 47 days ago; on a good mark if return to this track sparks him up again. |

Flat/hurdle winner for previous yards; ran his best race for this one when under 4l away behind a well-backed favourite at Killarney last month (2m1f, good), finishing alongside Presenting Lad; shouldn't be far away off the same mark. |

Winless in more than three years, including in eight starts in Jersey since leaving Fergal O'Brien, for whom he went close off this mark here in March; will find this more competitive. |

Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |
