Has developed into a pretty good hurdler but couldn't raise his modest Flat profile in a 1m maiden last week (stable debut). |

Returned from long layoff to win two in a row in Ireland last summer for Katy Brown (2m2f/2m1f, good); has also won on yielding ground; absent since but he could still have more left in the tank and the betting may be informative on stable debut. |

10st 7lb |
Ex-Gavin Cromwell 7yo; 0-10 since his last win at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June 2025 but went close off 1lb higher at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) in February; returns from a break having had wind surgery and he's not ruled out. |

Another ex-Gavin Cromwell inmate who secured narrow win over fences at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June; 0-5 for this yard but February's close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start was a creditable effort; stable in fine form. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up. |

Hasn't won since joining this yard last year after unseating with the race at her mercy in a Wexford claimer; decent efforts in opening two runs for this yard, but not at her best recently; needs to bounce back; cheekpieces go on. |

One of three for trainer; three-time winning hurdler got off the mark over fences in some style when 10l winner of Listed mares' handicap at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding to soft); 8lb higher now, but big player if that win wasn't an aberration. |

11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run; in action on Flat and over hurdles since a good run over fences in the spring; blinkers added now; potentially interesting, though he needs to reverse Grand Annual form with Jasko Des Dames. |

Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run, well held in valuable 2m6f Galway handicap hurdle on latest; previous two Flat maiden runs were poor so seemingly fair bit to do off this opening mark but is unexposed in this sphere. |

One of three for yard; generally out of form in 2025 in chases and on the Flat; narrowly denied in this race last year off this mark and this may have been a long-term target so would be no surprise to see a revival; interesting. |

Placed in last year's Ascot Stakes and in the October Handicap at Naas; came back to form in style when winning the big amateur handicap over 2m at the Galway festival; favourite for a handicap hurdle later in the week, the run may have come too soon. |
