19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Absent for 420 days but he made a winning return from 228 days off at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last June; that light campaign concluded with a Group 3 third at York (1m2f, good) in July effective on testing ground; he's a major form player if reappearing at the top of his game. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Placed in Group 3/Listed races last year for Edward O'Grady and bolted up in handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month on second start for this yard; unable to reproduce that form in Listed race at Royal Ascot but maybe didn't handle the fast ground; could go well if conditions suit. |

10th 7 (8) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Placed at Group 3 and Listed level last year; recorded a really smart handicap performance when making his second start for Richard Fahey a winning one on reappearance at the recent Epsom Derby meeting (1m2f, good to soft), pulling 4l clear; a fairly quick turnaround is a slight worry after such a big effort but he's bang there on form; has raced only on going softer than good. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Well suited by soft/heavy ground; below his best for David O'Meara this year and bought for just 2,000gns in July; best watched on stable debut. |
66/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has been essentially regressive for current stable; ended up tailed off (bled from nose) last time; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has been essentially regressive, over 7f/1m in a hood, for current stable; however, pedigree suggests this return to 1m2f is worth exploring; headgear is removed; resurgence is possible. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Three races on heavy in Ireland, with pretty useful form last year but not so good when comprehensively turned over at 4-9 on reappearance; stepping up from 1m to 1m4f on probably good to firm ground is ringing the changes for this Galileo colt on handicap debut for top yard, which runs four. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Progress on the Flat featured a 1m2f maiden win on good ground; has wasted no time in raising his profile as a hurdler and this Navan maiden winner pocketed valuable course experience when a rallying third behind dead-heaters Quantock Hills and Teriferma here in December (good to soft); beaten since in a Punchestown heavy-ground handicap won by Slurricane, but can jump better than he did that day and nothing was finishing stronger; has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo; makes the shortlist in first-time headgear. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regressive Flat maiden who, for the second time this year, refused to race on the AW nine days ago; has the ability to feature off this mark over hurdles (0-6) but far too risky. |
8/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
10st 9lb |
Won over fences in May (2m) and runner-up in that discipline at Kilbeggan a month ago (2m4f); as effective over hurdles and this mark isn't beyond him, though the trip might be (unraced beyond 2m4f). |
10/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
10st 5lb |
Off the mark over fences at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); came up short off revised mark at Galway (2m2f, good) but wasn't disgraced; return to softer ground no problem and still only a 5yo, so not ruled out. |
8/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

One of three for stable; flat and hurdles winner off the mark over fences off 6lb lower at Wexford (2m, gd-yld) when last seen in May; this longer trip should be fine and yard made hay at this meeting last season; can't discount. |

Well beaten in four maidens and has to improve plenty even tackling handicaps off a low mark; however, yard's record necessitates a market check; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Got off the mark at the tenth attempt over C&D last month (good); benefited from a strong gallop when winning that day; won with plenty in hand but hard to have confidence in him backing that up. |

First reserve; good second at Bellewstown (1m4f, yielding) last October off 55; hasn't matched that in two runs this term; blinkers worn last time replaced by cheekpieces (wore them at Bellewstown); needs a revival. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair 2m Flat winner; yet to score in this sphere but proved well suited by the step up in trip when a very good third of 16 in 2m6f handicap at Ballinrobe 15 days ago; up 4lb but this Irish challenger merits serious consideration. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |

AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |

2nd 3 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |
