10st 12lb |
Won a Wexford maiden hurdle in July 2024; ran well in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle in December off 2lb lower, his last start in this sphere; should be at peak fitness after two recent spins on the Flat; needs the forecast rain to miss. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Seasoned dual-purpose sort; 3-36 on the Flat, all on soft/heavy including successive runnings of 1m2f Naas Listed; only third in same race this year and both runs since over longer trips have proved beyond him; absent since June and ground probably plenty lively for him. |
10/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 9lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-35 on Flat and second on 10 occasions; his only two stakes race wins from 29 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight on return; well beaten in the Vintage Crop on latest but will be more suited by testing conditions. |

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Proved hard to win with when with Gavin Cromwell (1-32 over jumps) but doubled his winning tally in a three-runner novice handicap chase at Warwick on 15th chase start (3m, good to firm, tongue-tie tried) on last month's stable debut; respected on that form. |

1st 2 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
He's raced 38 times (14 of them over fences) and his sole win came in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) in June; not at his best on his final few outings for Gavin Cromwell (fences/hurdles) but he's a contender if at the top of his game on this stable debut; changed hands for 12,500gns last month; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

Just one place from four point-to-point runs; definite ability in four maiden hurdle runs; best effort yet when beat 7L into fourth over 2m at Wexford last time out; trainer 4-33 in maiden hurdles; big chance. |

9st 9lb |
Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |

Useful 85-rated Flat stayer; odds-on winner of a Sedgefield novice hurdle (2m1f, good) last season; placed twice at Plumpton off 126 in final starts last season; reverts to hurdles now after two poor chasing starts this term |

Useful stayer on the Flat; odds-on winner of a Sedgefield novice hurdle (2m1f, good) last November; placed twice at Plumpton in the final weeks of last season; not as good as several of these over hurdles; makes chase debut with tongue-tie added to hood. |

Best of his three efforts came when fifth of 16 in a maiden hurdle at Cork earlier this month (In The Trenches runner-up); no obvious reason why he'll reverse the form here. |

10st 1lb |
Hurdle and chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last year, before losing form; two good runs since joining yard; was just behind Matt Connor when sixth of 20 in the Tribes at Galway; positively ridden and only gave best late on behind two of these at Bellewstown (2m4f). |

Won a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March 2025 for Gavin Cromwell; not a bad run on debut for this yard in the Tribes at Galway after 230 days off when 4l behind Red Glory and eased 1lb; sharper now and has placed over this trip before; could go well. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner but has really come good over hurdles lately with two handicap wins at Wexford; hat-trick bid here but has a 14lb rise to contend with and seems to be very much a good ground performer. |
7/1 |
|
1st 12 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue. |

Dual hurdle winner who broke his Flat duck when dropped down to a Class 6 at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) off 2lb lower last month; moderate at a higher level in two subsequent starts but his sole AW effort was a solid one when fourth of 14 at Dundalk (Polytrack) in the spring of 2024; possibilities if he copes with this return to 1m4f. |
