11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Won three handicap hurdles last year at 2m-2m4f, including one here over 2m on good ground (later disqualified for banned substance); should strip fitter for first run back from a break at Listowel; not discounted. |

11st 1lb |
Won handicaps at Kilbeggan, Tipperary and Leopardstown from 2m-2m4f last year, though was disqualified from the first due to a banned substance; 9lb higher on return but has won when fresh so has to be respected, especially if strong in the market. |

Four-time AW winner whose hurdles win came in 2m Kilbeggan handicap nearly two years ago (good); recent Flat comeback run should have him fitter although unproven over this far. |

11st 0lb |
Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe maiden hurdle success (2m1f, good); returned from a short break with a positive run at Clonmel last time when third (2m4f, yielding); Flidais was in fourth that day and has won subsequently; in the mix. |

Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard (both at Sligo) before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe success (2m1f, good); needs to bounce back from a below-par run in a Sligo novice event. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 73y |
11st 4lb |
Won a handicap hurdle at Wexford last summer and several promising efforts this year, including over timber at Roscommon in August when only finding one too good; may have won that without a bad mistake late and arrives on the back of a facile success over fences at Galway on Tuesday; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

7th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 54y |

Placed in all his chase runs (handicaps), going close in the latest at Roscommon (2m, good); failed to exploit a lower hurdle mark back there last time but still ran very well; solid chance. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Placed in handicap chases the last twice, the latest here over 2m; stays 2m4f but didn't appear to stay about 3m when he tried it once before over hurdles and he has a Flat pedigree. |

Maiden after 16 runs under all rules; back after an absence with two runs over the summer, the best of which was a fifth in a Wexford h'cap chase; needs his best back over hurdles. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Returned from a lengthy break to make stable debut at Downpatrick 9 days ago when fifth of 11 (2m2f, good) after leading at two out; entitled to improve from that but majority of hurdles form is not great; needs to improve on chasing debut; trainer also runs Figurehead. |

Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |

Four-time winner in Ireland (1m1f/1m2f) but the latest of those wins came over two years ago; didn't run badly at Beverley on her Flat debut for this yard but she was beaten a long way at Catterick three weeks ago; down in class but others look stronger. |
