16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Was gaining fourth win over fences when coping with better ground over 2m4f at Punchestown eight days ago, recording a third win at the track in what was a messy race; not certain to back that up but 4lb rise gives him every chance (2lb out of handicap but rider claims 3lb) and has won over hurdles around here. |

Three chase wins have come on soft/heavy ground; out of form since last win in March 2024; showed no sign of a return to form when beaten 27L at Down Royal last time; dropped 3lb but hard to fancy. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival; not a bad run at Fairyhouse after a break; however, Come On The Lads seems to be the yard's number one. |

Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival. best form over shorter than this and on better ground; lacks a recent run. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
10st 9lb |
Five wins and ten placed from 40 starts (2-20 over fences); disappointing since finishing fourth in a competitive Punchestown festival handicap, with several of these rivals behind him; finished behind Gaelic Arc (runner-up) at Killarney in July; remote sixth at the same venue last month when Gaelic Arc was pulled up. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Handicap hurdle winner here in January 2024 (3m, heavy); some good runs in defeat over fences last season, filling the frame in three of his four runs inc' here off 1lb higher (2m5f, soft to heavy); returned from just over a year off at Navan last time when never better than midfield and pulled up; can get involved if back to his best but a bit to prove now. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two seasons ago; showed signs of developing into a consistent handicap chaser last winter; off for a year but could feature if returning in peak form; arguably the most appealing of three runners for his trainer. |
8/1 |

11st 1lb |
Flat winner; 2-26 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase in April last year; yet to shine for this stable; not badly handicapped on his old form, needs a revival. |

Two-time Flat winner is 2-25 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase last April; has been out of form since joining Cian Collins; well-handicapped on old form but he's hard to fancy on recent showings. |

Soundly beaten over shorter trips on her first two runs over fences; made a couple of minor errors at Down Royal when stepped up to 2m4f but seems to be getting the gang of things gradually. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner but his last success was in 2023 and he was well held at Taunton last Saturday; now returns to the Flat for the first time in 16 months and he's 1-24 in this sphere; opposable. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

A prolific winner in points, he got off the mark under rules at Taunton (3m, good) last month; 5lb higher but looks the type that can go in again. |

1st 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |
7/4 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Remains winless under rules but he was a multiple points winner after leaving Paul Nolan in Ireland and has started well for his new yard, a strong-travelling second of 11 in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Exeter 23 days ago; can go one better here. |
6/5 |
