10st 7lb |
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year (2m3f, good to yielding) returned from an absence with a solid third at Cork for new stable; found to be clinically abnormal at Kilbeggan latest when below-par; good chance if in full of her health; tongue tie on. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won a maiden hurdle over slightly further at this track last year for the late Kevin Prendergast; solid third at Cork on return; should have improved from that and be involved off the same mark. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course scorer (for Robert Eddery) in 2023; a fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott since but pulled up over hurdles at Perth last month on final run for yard; more needed for his new stable. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Dual AW Flat winner who has won a chase and a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick since joining Gordon Elliott; hasn't been at his best since winning over hurdles in October (2m1f, yielding); stable has a fine record here. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

Dual AW winner has a win apiece over hurdles and fences; moderate form shown in last two runs over hurdles, finishing eighth both times; returns to chasing now and he will appreciate better ground if it appears; others preferred. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
The winner of two of his six starts for this stable, most recently at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in March off 4lb lower, but didn't quite match that level when fourth (2m4f, good) at Plumpton last month; may need to find more but likely to be in the mix. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |

7yo who has a fair bit of experience but has been progressive for a new yard this term, making it two wins from his last three runs (2m3f/2m5f, good/good to soft) when scoring at Warwick last time; entitled to respect. |
