23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two juvenile hurdles for Anthony Charlton last season but largely disappointing in handicaps for new stable this term, albeit not running badly when fifth at Taunton (2m, good) this month; needs to up his game. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a losing run but was perhaps ridden too aggressively (in a visor) when pulled up in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle in January; yard is going really well so this C&D winner could bounce back off a reduced mark with headgear now dispensed with. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; didn't run too badly in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) but may have been flattered by how that race panned out (soon led); others perhaps safer. |

9st 7lb |
Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |

2nd 9 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Won twice last season for his former yard on soft-heavy so was disappointing he didn't show more back on his favoured ground latest; dropped 5lb for that effort; new blinkers need to revive. |

One win from 26 attempts on the Flat gives him a rating in that sphere of 50; he wasn't far away at Down Royal but lesser efforts in two runs since; makes hurdles debut now and hard to see him winning. |

Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |

Sole win on turf came at Fairyhouse in June 2024 (1m4f, good); latest of three AW wins came at Dundalk in November over 2m; two turf runs this term were poor and most recent Dundalk outing was not his best either. |

Last of her four wins was in September 2023; respectable fifth in handicap at Gowran (1m1f, good) in July but she missed the break and was tailed off in a classified event at Ayr last month (1m2f, good); 4lb wrong. |

April's Gowran Park third (9.5f, yielding) is a sole podium finish in her last 18 runs, but she ran to that sort of level again back there last time, reaffirming she can still operate on sounder surfaces also. |

C&D winner had Asisaid 1.75l behind when landing a Roscommon handicap on latest (7.5f, soft); up 8lb for that win to 64 but was third in this race last October off 65 so she can be competitive again if in the same form; should go well. |

A couple of her runs in 2024 suggested she could win a race but missed almost all of 2025 and heavy defeat on return from long layoff at Down Royal last month; cheekpieces go on and she's on a dangerous mark on her best form so check the market. |
