25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |
9st 9lb |
Won three handicaps at Galway in 2024; no win last year but some solid efforts up to 1m4f; is fit from hurdling over the winter and can run well. |

Three-time winner on the Flat at Galway; hood went on for hurdling debut at Cork when tailed off; big improvement needed. |

27th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 73y |
8st 13lb |
Her three wins have all come over C&D, including this race last year off 70 (heavy); timely return to form at the Curragh last month when 1m2f proved just beyond her; down to a handy mark and major chance of a repeat win in the race. |

12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 125y |
9st 10lb |
Twice a winner last season; mixed bag this term, standout effort when coming from way back to finish third to Kashel Spring (Its All Peachy second) at Punchestown last month; six days later didn't count on heavy ground at Listowel (1m); has to be considered back on better ground, with this longer trip likely to suit. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 80y |

Dependable last season in contrast to her profile this year; shaped as if she was becoming competitive again when fifth of 15 at Leopardstown last month; did not give her apprentice rider much help at Punchestown last week, ran on well late, |

A very dependable performer last season in marked contrast to her profile this year; however, she has come down 16lb from a career high of 92; shaped as if she was becoming competitive again when fifth of 15 at Leopardstown last month |

Won over 7f here last summer for Jack Davison off 73 and good run six days later over today's C&D; two good runs this term in Leopardstown handicaps but too keen on latest in premier handicap at same venue; slow-starter at times. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two juvenile hurdles for Anthony Charlton last season but largely disappointing in handicaps for new stable this term, albeit not running badly when fifth at Taunton (2m, good) this month; needs to up his game. |
7/1 |

5th 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
On a losing run but was perhaps ridden too aggressively (in a visor) when pulled up in 2m4f Wincanton handicap hurdle in January; yard is going really well so this C&D winner could bounce back off a reduced mark with headgear now dispensed with. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; didn't run too badly in a first-time visor at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) but may have been flattered by how that race panned out (soon led); others perhaps safer. |

Just one win from 28 attempts, but has been knocking on the door in recent starts here; fourth over 10.5f in November before taking third spot next two times; squeezed out when one-paced upped in trip over C&D last time; this trip may not be his optimum. |

Showed some promise over a mile on debut for former yard last year; two lesser runs for this yard over 1m5f and 1m2f this term; needs more but still of interest on handicap debut so watch the market; tongue-tie. |

Won at Dundalk (7f, Polytrack) last February for Michael O'Callaghan; however, he struggled on his final three starts for that yard and it's been the same story on both runs for this stable; new headgear combination. |
