24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Drew 8l clear in Cesarewitch trial at Newmarket in September (2m2f, good); couldn't follow up in the real thing when sixth of 19; up 10lb compared to his last win and he has never won after an absence before. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Useful jumper; eighth at 33-1 in last year's Cesarewitch, when never dangerous on soft going and it looks like that surface was not ideal, as he runs far more often on good ground and drew 8l clear over C&D in the Cesarewitch Trial three weeks ago; well handicapped with just a 4lb penalty, for trainer who won this with a 7yo in 2022. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Dual-purpose gelding who finished eighth in last October's Cesarewitch (soft) when 5lb higher, since when his most competitive runs have come over hurdles; an assured stayer on this return to Flat action and likes this good ground. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott is 0-7 over fences; in poor form when last seen in June 2025 and is now with a new yard; best watched for now. |

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 |
11st 8lb |
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. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |

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. |

Winning point-to-pointer is 0-8 over hurdles but took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last month when third (Ashdale Flyer 10l away) to a stablemate, having made much of the running; unproven over this far but good chance she'll stay. |

10st 8lb |
Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Exeter hurdles winner (2m7f) on stable debut in November, before finding the follow-up bid coming too soon; still at the right end of the weights to improve on a chasing record of 649FP67, all for other yards. |

Second reserve; sole success came between the flags; 0-13 over fences and no signs of a breakthrough success in recent runs; pulled up when last seen in July; well out of the handicap here and hard to fancy. |

2-5 in Irish points but his slow-ground win in March came in a match race and he was well beaten when last in action; also struggled on last year's hurdling debut; tongue-tie refitted today; others look safer. |
