3rd 1 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 6lb |
Maiden hurdle winner placed in a Grade 1 before losing his form last year; blasted back to somewhere near his best when landing a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m7f, good to yielding) by 17l in April; 2m at Wexford was too sharp for him when 7.5l behind the winner in second, carrying a penalty; rider reduces penalty here and he's undoubtedly the one to beat. |

2nd 1 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice last year before losing his form in that sphere; got off the mark on third chase start when an easy winner at Kilbeggan last time over 2m6f; penalised 6lb for that but should still be difficult to beat even dropping in trip. |
6/4 |

1st 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 142 over hurdles; seventh in the 2024 Supreme Novices' Hurdle; 8l second behind The Yellow Clay in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Naas in January 2025 (2m4f, soft); pulled up in two following hurdle starts at Grade 1 level; form of his two chase starts bears little relation to his best hurdles form. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough when winning a Roscommon handicap chase off 90 in June (2m6f, yielding to soft); chased home Cullenwaine over C&D next time when 15l behind; tailed off back at Roscommon last time (3m1f) when didn't appear to stay the trip on soft ground. |

5th 3 |
4th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 14y |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences over 2m5f here but was then beaten 15l into second over 2m7f last time; should be involved from the same mark. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 |
17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Underwhelming in opening two chase starts before taking a big step forward at Roscommon (2m6f, yielding to soft) to shed his maiden tag convincingly off 90 under today's rider following the reapplication of blinkers; a repeat of that will see him go very close, but overall form suggests that is not a sure thing. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 168y |

Modest 2-29 jumps strike rate (hurdles and fences combined), placed nine times; produced a fair effort over fences at Wexford last month; below that level over hurdles at Ballinrobe last week. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 194y |
11st 2lb |
Won this race in 2024 off this rating and fourth off 5lb higher last year; hinted that he may be returning to form in a handicap chase at Wexford on latest; could go well. |

2nd 7 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 155y |
11st 2lb |
Got off the mark over fences when taking this race last year but hasn't repeated that form since between hurdles and fences; however, is 1lb lower than a year ago so has to be respected. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Opened account over C&D (good) on stable debut in June, readily drawing 7l clear; might still have more to offer for his new trainer but was safely held when favourite at Uttoxeter last month; needs to bounce back. |

Off eight months and much improved for his new yard with an easy first success in 2m handicap hurdle at Stratford last month; up 7lb but not taken lightly. |

Beaten 20l plus in four maiden hurdles and a handicap; off 672 days and has switched to Gavin Cromwell; stable do well with recruits and it's interesting she's been persevered with; market confidence would have to be taken very seriously. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Sole success at Listowel (2m6f, soft) in September 2024 off 7lb lower; only run four times since, all handicap chases, and off the track since a 31l defeat at Killarney in July 2025; has ability but might need this run. |

Off the mark over timber last year; getting better with each chase run this season and was only beaten 2l over this trip at Tipperary last time; big player from 2lb higher with untapped potential in this sphere. |
