29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Five-time AW winner is 0-11 on turf but has run well in defeat; excellent efforts last twice at Leopardstown (a neck behind Cloud Seeker) and here, both over 1m2f on good; this is his optimum trip and he holds leading claims. |

8st 13lb |
Five-time Dundalk winner with the last four wins coming over 1m4f; cracking run behind Cloud Seeker at Leopardstown (1m2f) earlier this month; up 1lb but may have more to give for his new yard and not ruled out, despite ideally needing a bit further. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |
16/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Seven-time winner, on a long losing sequence now, although soft/heavy ground not ideal of late; handicapper relenting so don't rule out with ground more in his favour; rider/trainer had a winner at Roscommon on Monday. |

1m2f winner for Aidan O'Brien and was twice placed in middle-distance AW handicaps last October; gelded since and he should make a hurdler. |

13th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Dual turf winner, notably a valuable fillies' handicap at Down Royal this summer; was tailed off on soft last time but this will suit better; ran well sole AW start as a 2yo. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
24th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 165y |
9st 10lb |
Went close in a big-field 1m4f handicap here in June before making no mistake at Down Royal (1m5f, good); however, although running well, he's unproven over this far and seems to need goodish ground. |
13/2 |

Four-time winner, latterly in 2023; continues to threaten now and again, as at Galway in August, but questionable whether he wants the ground this testing. |
12/1 |

10th 9 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Andrew Slattery with last win coming in 2023; went close at Galway in August (1m4f, yielding) when Thatwilldoso won; posted another decent effort at Roscommon last time when third, behind Clear Quartz and Granite Bay; can go well again. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (16) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
The last of his four wins came in 2023; was just denied at Galway but was below that form at Chepstow five days later, both over this trip; 4lb higher but can run well if back to form. |

Seven wins on AW and was in good heart at Dundalk over the winter but 0-33 on turf and best watched after a layoff. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

Irish 9yo who is a multiple winner at Dundalk and is currently in a consistent vein of form; retains plenty of ability but has failed to cut the mustard in three previous Good Friday attempts (all here). |

Five-time Flat winner for Jessica Harrington; touched off in a competitive mares maiden hurdle at the Galway festival in 2023 for Emmet Mullins; sold for just 6,000Eur at the 2023 Goffs Autumn sale; best watched on debut for a new yard after 15 months off. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |
7/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Bounced back to form with a bang at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) when defeating runner-up Coppola by 7.5l off a career low mark; hefty 10lb hit for that, but this three-time hurdles winner has won off a mark of 106 before; big player. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest. |
13/8 |
|
3rd 2 |
11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 139 over hurdles, two of three wins having been at Bellewstown; ran well on chase debut when second in Galway beginners' last summer but didn't count at Tipperary more recently; not easy to assess back chasing. |
10/1 |
