24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; below form in two runs for current stable and his stamina for 1m is still unproven after fading over C&D 18 days ago (went off fast). |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; attracted stewards' attention when never-dangerous seventh on last month's stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); might well come good for Richard Hughes soon but his stamina for 1m is unproven and he's quite tricky to weigh up at the moment. |
5/1 |

Ex-Irish; last three wins have been on Dundalk AW, most recently over 6f in January; has won over 5f, so should go well on stable debut. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Dual AW winner who is 0-17 on turf; encouraging stable debut when third at Listowel but hasn't built on that the last twice; needs more |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 40y |

Dual AW winner is now 0-16 on turf; encouraging yard debut at Listowel in late May and met trouble in running at Limerick; tongue-tie now tried but wide draw not ideal. |

Joined this yard last autumn; gained his fourth course win (eighth win in all) over 1m in December; unplaced on next start; more like it when fourth in a claimer on latest. |

Not long with this yard but gained eighth career win here over 1m when coming late off much reduced mark last month; failed to back that up from 6lb higher last week; veteran is opposable on these terms. |

Won over C&D in April; not as good the last twice for a new yard and has to get back to form; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Both wins have come over 1m at Dundalk; joined this stable after a below-par run on soft ground in a Tipperary claimer in May; faded on yard debut at Dundalk; this surface should be fine for him, trip may be inadequate. |
12/1 |

Dual C&D winner, including in April off 50; left John McConnell after below-par run on soft ground in Tipperary claimer in May but return to this track could bring improvement on yard debut. |

Won a C&D maiden just over a year ago; consistent enough on turf since without winning and was only beaten 2l over 1m here last time; this trip should suit better and is down 2lb, so a chance. |

Sole win came over 6f in September 2023; struggling for form for his new yard but return to this trip is probably in his favour at least. |

Never competitive on the AW last time and runs Dundalk well, but won over Tipperary's 1m4f the run before; can cope with this 5lb higher mark, won't mind rain and his jockey has won the last two renewals of this. |

On a long losing run but has run well from the front the last twice, most notably at Naas last time in a race he set up for closers; could be dangerous if allowed dictate but stall 16 is problematic. |
