13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won 2m4f Down Royal maiden and better form in defeat in a couple of Cork novices' over today's trip; never landed a blow however on handicap debut at Navan last month in albeit much better race; down in class here so not one to rule out. |

Won a Down Royal maiden hurdle in September and two fine runs in novice company since; well-held in a Grade 3 over 2m4f here last time and will have to improve upon that even dropped in class. |

Well-bred Flat winner is yet to score over obstacles; well beaten over hurdles four days ago and fell on chase debut previous run; needs his best to get involved. |

Ran well off 103 at 2024 Galway festival; off the bridle from early when plugging on for third at Wexford (2m4f) in October; poor since; should enjoy the ground, but might find trip a bit sharp. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 7lb |
0-10 over timber but has placed six times in maiden hurdles; sole handicap start came at Musselburgh in February and was soundly beaten; similar outcome in Tramore maiden hurdle latest; others appeal more. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |

Rated 106; has placed in six of his nine starts over hurdles; soundly beaten on handicap debut after a layoff at Musselburgh latest; will strip fitter now but more needed back in a maiden in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

Irish maiden who has plenty of placed form but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since November 2024; market may prove best guide to expectations; handicap debut. |

Improved with each run and was only beaten roughly 4l when returned to a bumper at Listowel in September; more required here and different ground but going the right way at least; off 131 days. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |
10/1 |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Won over fences at Gowran and hurdles here in February but was below form over fences at Limerick since; has a lot to find against some of these rivals; due to run in the 6.42 at Limerick on Tuesday. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Only 3lb higher than the mark he won off over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer and he's a dual point winner who should make a chaser; below par last time but after quite a break. |
15/8 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual point winner who came good under rules for Max Comley at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) last summer; absent since a lesser effort the following month and goes without a visor here but still worth a glance in the betting on this stable debut. |
16/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Perked up for the new visor when a 2.5l winner over 2m7f at Worcester 20 days ago; up 6lb but a greater concern could be this softer ground. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

Hurdle/chase winner; fell over fences in October and finished last on his return to the Flat in March, so current wellbeing is an issue. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |

Two wins over jumps in 2025; last seen on the Flat in September 2024 when well beaten by Sir Allen off a mark of 70; just 3lb lower now and fell in a Wexford handicap chase when last seen in October; others make more appeal. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |

Bagged two wins over hurdles this season at Listowel and Kilbeggan over an extended 2m4f; winner of his sole chase start over C&D in August last year (good to yielding) off 102; cheekpieces are now added to the tongue tie and not ruled out. |
