8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |
10st 12lb |
Five-time winner, 2-10 over fences; ran to form when last seen in this sphere in November, beaten 5l into third at Down Royal (3m, good); returned from lay-off with satisfactory run over hurdles 85 days ago; versatile trip-wise and enjoys good ground; could be in the mix. |

Five-time winner under rules (three over hurdles); took second behind progressive rival on return from 87-day break at Punchestown in October (2m7f, good to yielding); another positive run when third over fences last time at Down Royal (3m, good to yielding); consistent sort but there may be better handicapped contenders. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Winning hurdler and some good efforts over fences before getting off the mark here last month over 2m, defying top-weight when asserting from last for comfortable 1.75l win over Chosen Shant (who hit the last); 5lb worse off with that rival here but can confirm the form over this longer trip. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Winning hurdler and although 0-8 chasing finished second in this race two years ago and went close on a few occasions last year; going okay when unseating three from home when back chasing at Thurles when last seen in November; may need this but goes well here so worth consideration. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who won Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in July and was respectable third of six from out of the weights in Perth handicap (2m, good) last month; effectively 4lb lower from correct mark here and promising conditional Lewis Sanuders claims a useful 7lb; could have a say. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ordinary Flat winner in Ireland and was 0-21 there over jumps (including 12 defeats over fences); came good on yard debut in a maiden at Worcester (in none of the aids he sported for former connections) and could build on that; 3lb wrong at the weights. |

1-35 under all codes when based in Ireland, the win gained on the Flat in 2022; placed in a low-grade handicap chase this spring and the pick of his 2023 hurdling form gives him a good chance on these terms; interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him. |
