25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Dual-purpose; won a Naas maiden hurdle (2m, gd-yld) in April 2025; has come up short in handicap hurdles since and just okay runs on the Flat on last two starts; stamina to prove for this trip and others look more convincing. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Two wins when trained in Germany but yet to get his head in front on these shores; handicapper giving him a chance but soundly beaten on last two starts over hurdles and on the Flat and needs to leave those efforts well behind; best watched after break. |
25/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Dual Flat winner in Germany; out of depth in hot Flat handicaps at Galway Festival last twice; good effort on last start over timber at Fairyhouse in April (2m, sft-hvy); raised 4lb for that 2.25l third and might prefer softer ground. |
7/1 |

Won this race under this rider in 2023 when trained by Richard O' Brien, his sole victory on turf; just 1lb higher now and signs of returning to form on fourth start for this stable at Ballinrobe last time; could go well. |

Off the track since dominant maiden win at Roscommon in July 2024 (1m4f, good); handles testing ground and has C&D form so he needs checking in the market. |

Second runner for stable; formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort in eight starts for current yard a 8.75l seventh behind a few of his rivals here in the Q.R. race at Galway; burst blood vessels on latest start at Tramore; coming down the weights but yard has a better chance with Seddon. |

Looked to be on the slide until running well when seventh of 20 in the big amateur handicap at Galway where headgear (left off here) seemed to help; pulled up over hurdles later that week; first visit here. |
