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. |

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. |

9st 7lb |
Won Leopardstown maiden (1m, heavy) last April on debut for Edward O'Grady; minor honours in his two Group 3s and three Listed events, on last two occasions bang there on testing ground over about 1m4f in France (stable debut latest); starts new season gelded and needs a second look. |

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. |

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. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; kept on for third in Southwell novice (7f, AW) on stable debut in December but two lesser AW runs followed in January, the latter his handicap debut (1m); returns from break with quite a bit to prove. |

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 |

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. |

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. |
14/1 |

9th 1 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate on the Flat and is 0-4 over hurdles; placed off today's mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) last month but subsequent run in Worcester maiden was underwhelming; others have more persuasive profiles. |

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. |

Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

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. |

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. |

Dual AW winner is 0-6 hurdling, never counting in 2m4f Sligo handicap last month; 3lb lower but big improvement needed. |
