18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two. |

A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Longstanding maiden but in good nick for his new stable, fifth of 13 in 2m Ludlow novice in November; no forlorn hope after a break. |

2nd 11 |
14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Is 0-16 over hurdles but some good runs in defeat recently; finished 3l behind the winner at Clonmel in June (2m1f, good to yielding); likely didn't handle the softer conditions at Killarney following that but posted another good effort in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time when a 2.25l third of seven (2m, good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now; he is not discounted and is due to be raised 4lb in future. |
10/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

The most experienced of the field is 0-17 but has run well in defeat, including a 3l second in a Clonmel handicap hurdle off 96 in June (2m1f, good to yielding); well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time (2m1f, yielding to soft); could do better back on good ground. |

Dual Flat winner has a win apiece over hurdles and fences; last win was novice chase at Tipperary last July (19.5f, yielding); out of his depth in Tipperary Grade 3 before jumping issues evident in Wexford handicap chase; returns from a break back hurdling. |

One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
One of two for trainer; bumper/dual winning hurdler; returned from almost a year off when well beaten on Flat in February; more promise in 10l fifth over hurdles at Navan (2m, soft); didn't build on that at Bellewstown last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Bumper and dual winning hurdler; came back from almost a year off the track when well beaten in a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February; more promise in her 10l fifth of 12 at Navan last month (2m, soft); more needed with cheekpieces added to the tongue tie. |

15th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose but been struggling for form in both codes; well-beaten on the Flat at Galway last month; same story on last run over hurdles at Bellewstown; last win came in a Cheltenham handicap chase in 2022 off 135; thrown in off 117 on that form but impossible to fancy on recent exploits. |

29th Jul 2024 Soft 2m 0f 179y |

Five wins over jumps, much more effective over fences (rated 137) than hurdles (117); has run only three times on the Flat; this rider aboard when a 28-1 winner of a 1m4f maiden at the 2022 festival; soundly beaten behind Enniskerry at Listowel; in rear over hurdles on latest. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won off 113 at Killarney (2m1f, good) last August; showed signs of returning to form when falling when still going well off this mark back at Killarney latest; stays this far and can go well if that fall hasn't left a mark. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Easy winner of this 12 months ago off 9lb lower and just the three starts since, one of those behind Brighterdaysahead; returned with a 10l defeat to Bowensonfire at Bellewstown and ran better at Galway, albeit looking a hard ride at times in the new cheekpieces (soon discarded); should feature. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Gained a second win over timber when landing a decent pot at Killarney last summer; shaped like she needed her return but mark looks on the high side at present; tried with first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Fourth in a claiming hurdle before having a complete off-day over fences five weeks ago, when he lost lengths at the start and jumped poorly before ultimately unseating; hard to win with at the best of times and now makes debut for a new Irish yard. |
14/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Not the easiest to win with but often runs well in defeat; beaten 7.75l off 3lb higher on his last start in this sphere at Wexford on penultimate; 9l fourth in claiming hurdle back there on latest; best chase effort came when a 6l third in a Grade 3 novice here (18.5f, gd-yld) in October (Birdie Or Bust second); big chance on that form and has won here over hurdles. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Gained third win over timber by a nose when last seen at Galway in October (2m, gd-yld); raised 6lb for that; will need to be ready to rock after 231-day break off career high mark (has won when fresh before). |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 11y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner; took his second hurdle race when scoring at Tipperary in July; not a bad Wexford run after, poor at Killarney on next start; addition of tongue-tie seemed to have a positive effect when second at Fairyhouse just over two weeks ago; 5lb claimer rode last Sunday's Munster National winner. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last August but he's been out of sorts in three runs (chase/hurdle) this spring and overall record is now 1-31; opposable. |
