30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-6 for current stable and needs to better his recent efforts but is now 5lb lower than when creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and can't be ruled out; visor removed after one use. |
4/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor (2m4f, good) and it was a strong race in which he struggled at Haydock; he's no forlorn hope on that penultimate effort. |
25/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor two weeks ago (2m4f, good); it could be a similar story here and winning this would demand a career best from him. |
16/1 |

2nd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Out of the handicap when a respectable fourth in a Class 2 at Musselburgh on his penultimate start (2m4f, good to soft) and has had wind surgery since finishing tailed off at Kelso; hard to dismiss. |

One of his two chase wins came over C&D, that was in 2023; out of form this year and not easy to fancy at present. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent last season but wasn't beaten too far on his stable debut here before sent over 4m at Hexham; likes the mud so could do with some rain. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very inconsistent this season but he ran okay when fifth on his stable debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last Monday, in the process shaping as though this marathon trip would be worth exploring; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Seemingly back in good form when 33-1 second over C&D (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) in January but failed to complete his next two races for Debra Hamer (latest was over hurdles); far too inconsistent to rely upon; headgear left off today on debut for new yard. |

11st 7lb |
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner in 2020 for Noel Meade; returned from a three-year absence in October; well beaten in his first chase, fell mid-race in the second, tailed off at Limerick, and only limited encouragement from Down Royal run |

Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner in 2020 for Noel Meade; only recently returned from a three-year absence and after finishing well beaten in his first chase he fell mid-race in the second; has questions to answer right now. |

17th Dec 2023 Yielding 1m 7f 205y |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler for Peter Flood last season, highlight being Leopardstown novice handicap win off 114; pulled up in big handicaps on final two starts and two underwhelming chase efforts this term; blinkers now fitted for hurdles return. |

1-15 over fences; clear of the rest when beaten 1.75l second at Sedgefield last time (2m, good); chance on that form. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
C&D winner in November 2024 but there's not been much to enthuse over since, cheekpieces fitted when a well-held third of five in 2m Catterick handicap chase four weeks ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
