12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
11st 7lb |
Not the most consistent on the Flat but useful on her day and three wins to her name, including over 1m4f at 2024 Galway festival; hurdling debut and has been off since November. |

Similar mark off which she won over 1m4f at Galway over a year ago but struggling to recapture that level of form, with last two runs very disappointing; this only her second run on the AW. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Formerly with William Haggas and Willie Mullins; consistent for this yard and deserved his battling win over C&D latest; can run well again off just 3lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Not the force of old but he retains ability and has performed with credit for his new yard this year, most recently finishing second of nine at Pontefract 12 days ago (6f, good); down in class today and should go well despite his small rise in the weights. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from five starts; scored easily at Newmarket latest; better than ever and may improve further in his current form; respected assuming he's as effective back at 2m and returned to AW. |

1st 3 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

In the groove this season and hit career-best form when winning a five-runner race from off the pace at Catterick (1m6f) nine days ago; up 3lb but highly respected. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 4 |

Three good runs this season, notably when winning off 3lb lower over 1m4f at Doncaster early last month (good to firm); stays 1m6f well; not disgraced on good to soft last time and one with a chance. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 11lb |
In excellent form in 2026; beaten a head at Ayr in March (2m, soft); won easily over this C&D (good) early last month; denied by a neck at Cartmel (2m6f, good) on latest; 12lb higher now than when successful here but can give another good account. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Last two visits to Britain resulted in a win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last June and a narrow loss at Ayr (2m, soft) this March; won well at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) 15 days ago and all three of those runs were under Oran McGill; needs plenty of respect despite his steeply revised mark. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
12st 4lb |
Justified market support at Hexham this time last year (2m4f, good to soft) to open his account; poor in two chase runs in October, but was again well backed at Ayr in March when denied by a head in a first-time tongue tie (2m, soft, 9-4 fav'); return to further can help; big player. |

28th Oct 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
8st 7lb |
Is 0-8; best run for current yard a 4.5l third of 18 over C&D on yielding in August, her second good run at this venue; no impact in two starts since when ridden more positively; could go well on ground she handles if reverting to more patient tactics; 1lb wrong at the weights. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; no win over hurdles since Fairyhouse maiden success in February 2024 (2m, heavy); shaped ok when staying on for 16.5l fifth behind Jacovec Cavern on seasonal return but didn't back it up when 5-1 favourite at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) latest; stamina to prove now up in trip. |
11/2 |
|
12th 10 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well. |
5/1 |

3rd 10 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at the 2024 Galway festival; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the big amateur handicap at the same fixture last July; different proposition later that week, only just denied in a valuable 2m1f handicap hurdle; could be a big player if fit and ready. |

Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

Sole win in 24 starts (including jumps_ came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden at Killarney in 2023; placed over hurdles before a fair fifth on the Flat at the Curragh on his penultimate start; remote tenth at Tipperary 11 days ago. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Low-key effort behind a few of these at Leopardstown earlier this month but return to quicker ground may help and she's back on her last winning mark (also went close off 77 in Clonmel handicap in September); Neve Bennett who claims 7lb has ridden her fair share of winners; could go well. |
