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. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |

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. |

A winner of seven races on AW and three on turf; last turf success was in 2022, but this season's overall form provided a fair amount of encouragement; a three-time runner-up at this venue, including in June; had plenty of horses behind him at Leopardstown ten days ago. |

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. |

Six-time winner, most recently at last year's Galway festival over 7f; recent C&D third offers encouragement after a sequence of runs that saw her handicap mark reduced; first reserve. |
|
|
3rd 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
9st 13lb |
Six-time winner, most recently at last year's Galway festival over 7f (yielding) off 12lb higher; below best so far in 2026 and stamina a major query on first run beyond 1m2f. |

Won at Galway in 2025 off 9lb higher and is a two-time C&D winner but yet to find form this season; beaten 13l when down the field at the Curragh latest; needs to get back on track. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 145y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

9st 6lb |
Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
9/1 |

8th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

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. |

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. |
