21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
10st 12lb |
Both career wins at Limerick; went close here over hurdles in February; solid third of 12 in Tramore handicap chase last month (21.5f, good to yielding); in the hunt for the places back at his favourite venue. |

First reserve; best form at Limerick; needs to step up on recent form at that venue. |

11st 0lb |
Runner-up over fences at Limerick in April for Tom Dreaper but well beaten the next twice (fences/hurdles) and is now just 1-21; makes stable debut and others are preferred. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran of the field but he won over 2m with plenty of give underfoot on first and fifth races for this yard, latterly at Uttoxeter in January on penultimate start; 2m4f a plausible excuse last time and he needs consideration. |
9/2 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 11yo, a zestful front-runner in recent campaigns who has won over 2m in the mud on the first and latest of his five races for current yard; the latter was a five-runner race at Uttoxeter four weeks ago, since which he's gone up another 4lb but it's this trip (despite 2m4f and 2m5f wins much earlier in career) which provides the most glaring question. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish 11yo who made all at Haydock (2m, heavy) on stable debut in December 2024 and lost out only narrowly in this season's edition of that race five weeks ago (soft); has to take recent 4lb rise on the chin but can still make his presence felt here. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Ended last year in good form over fences but was pulled after a break at Hereford in March and it's over a year since he last ran over hurdles (0-12 in this discipline). |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
C&D winner in November and ran well when second at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) 11 days later; looked the likeliest winner before unseating late at Taunton in December and now needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Fontwell on Boxing Day (jumped right); tough mark but remains of interest with Sean Bowen booked. |

Second runner for yard; course hurdle winner won at Gowran in January and ran well here last time; was poor when last seen over fences though, so questions to answer in that respect. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 70y |
12st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner on soft; yet to show a great deal over fences; flopped when favourite for Clonmel race won by today's rival Druim Samhraidh; possibly unwise to rule out. |
10/1 |

7th 3 |
7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Flat/hurdles winner on soft; creditable Flat run on good ground last summer; shaped much better on latest chase start when beaten 8l and is 8lb lower than his hurdles mark; headgear an interesting addition. |
4/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 5f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Has won three points and a hunter chase; best run since joining this yard when close second in Killarney hunter chase last May; big run after short break when fourth at Limerick last month in the mud; can go well from same mark. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 35y |
11st 11lb |
Second in a Killarney hunter chase in May but was well below that form in a similar race at Listowel since so needs to bounce back in a handicap. |
14/1 |

5th 3 |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Three point wins and won a Cork maiden hunter chase in 2023; close second to Bartlemy Boy in a Killarney hunter chase last time over 2m7f, staying on; 4lb better off today and extra furlong should help; big player. |

6th Oct 2024 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
No further success since back-to-back victories for Cathal Byrnes in July 2021; weak form over fences in the spring; struggled on return to hurdling at Tramore in August. |
33/1 |
|
14th 15 |
16th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Course winner is 2-24 over hurdles but no win since back to back victories in July 2021; yet to fire in six runs for Charles Coakley but one of his better efforts when beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; tongue tie and visor reached for again (pulled up last time he wore them); hard to fancy. |
