31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 7lb |
0-9 over fences but has run well at times, including when a 1.5l second in this race last season for Gavin Cromwell; 2lb lower now and blew away the cobwebs after a 279-day break with a respectable run at Wexford earlier this month; preferred by O'Keeffe and an interesting runner. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Beat smart Oscars Brother in 3m hurdle here when with Gavin Cromwell; maiden over fences but his second of 20 in the Galway Blazers (2m6f) at last summer's festival showed what he's capable of; back from a long break and this smacks of a Galway prep, with yard also having likely favourite in this. |

Good-ground bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; four chase runs for this yard have been okay; well held in a handicap last time, albeit that was a decent contest and the experience will stand to him back in a novice. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; three beginners' chase runs for new yard back from a break haven't been much to shout about; may do better now in a handicap with an opening mark 7lb below his hurdles one. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Pulled up in last month's valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen but this race is less competitive and he's better judged on his two C&D (good) thirds in May/June; also suited by slower ground and current mark is workable; can threaten from off the pace. |
6/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-Gordon Elliott; made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but up and down since, with recent thirds just okay efforts (latest in this new headgear combination when behind Breizh River); may prefer softer ground ideally. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
A winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, he made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January; reportedly hard to keep right, but he returned to form after three lesser efforts when third of five in returning cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (good) last month; first-time tongue-tie is also applied and he holds claims. |
