Hasn't been at his best on the Flat the last twice (effective in that scene) but he's talented and won a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan in March without much fuss, fulfilling the promise of his initial effort in a good race at Naas; just a worry that those best efforts have been in the mud and this trip represents a new venture. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two-time soft-ground winner who won off 3lb higher at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; however, his subsequent form has been mixed and he was beaten a long way at Hamilton (1m, soft) recently. |
16/1 |

11th 9 (12) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won narrowly off 1lb higher at Ripon in April to end a spell that improved his strike-rate markedly; has lacked consistency since, however, and failed to show his form in lower grade most recently. |
20/1 |

Likes give underfoot but has won on good ground; on last winning mark (April) and he was closing on the principals in a Class 2 at Ripon late last month; respected in his bid to go one better than 12 months ago. |

1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 77y |
10st 0lb |
Decent 110-rated handicap hurdler and 2m Flat winner on heavy as 3yo; not done much Flat racing in recent years and this looks like a prep for a return to jumping. |
14/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 150y |
11st 4lb |
Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

10st 9lb |
Dual winner of 3m2f handicap hurdles at the trainer's home track; stayed on well from a long way back when splitting Smallcraftwarning and Adaliz at Kilbeggan; should go well but would probably appreciate and even greater stamina test. |
13/2 |

3rd 12 |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 200y |
11st 1lb |
Best form has come at Sligo where he's won twice over 3m2f; poor run there latest when long way behind Cornmarket and Keep Em Quite; top claimer booked. |
20/1 |

19th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 168y |

A dual C&D winner, his trainer's local track; last year's form also included a second placing behind Cornmarket over C&D; probably needed the run here in May, and was much improved when winning in June; up 5lb for that; deserves respect. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won a big staying handicap hurdle at the Galway festival; second in a conditions hurdle at the same venue last month; in good form on the Flat late last season, winning a 2m handicap at Thurles, ran to a similar level when second over 1m6f at Navan in March. |

Goes well here and hacked up off 127 in a Listed handicap hurdle over 21.5f (good) at the Festival in July; now rated 136 has to improve again to follow up but there could be more to come from this 6yo; player. |

10st 6lb |
Reached the frame twice in similar races on AW under Brodie Hampson in February; well treated on those efforts but hasn't found the same form back on turf this summer and he was laboured at Haydock last week. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

Reached the frame twice in similar races on AW under Brodie Hampson in February; well treated on those efforts but hasn't found the same form back on turf (good to firm/good) after a break, including well behind Star Start and Austrian Theory at Catterick 17 days ago; the return to softer ground could help but leap of faith needed. |

Won a 2m2f handicap hurdle here off 86 last year; made a bad mistake when tailed off on chasing bow in a Wexford beginners' in July (2m4f, good); again tailed off at Killarney last time (2m1f, good to yielding); may do better now in handicaps but needs to. |

One win from four starts on the level in France, staying on well to make all when last seen in November; bought for 20,000euros since and interesting recruit for this yard but possibly more of a long term project. |
