25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Last five outings on AW, posting his most encouraging effort when second of 12 in a 2m Newcastle Good Friday handicap; nudged back up 2lb for that but he's still 3lb lower than when runner-up at Chester (2m, good to soft) last September; should go well. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Won this in 2024 and he's dropping down the weights; this 8yo has shown the odd sign of spark over the last 12 months but his AW exploits this winter indicate it's best to look elsewhere. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Three 1m5f/1m4f handicap wins when making most last year; easily her most competitive show this term when never-nearer second at Killarney (extended 1m6f, yielding to soft) last time; that's the furthest she's been on the Flat and gives hope for this longer trip; acts on heavy; one to consider. |

Last run on the Flat was at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown last November before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts; trainer may have a better prospect for this in Too Bossy For Us |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Has hit the frame in both handicap hurdle outings in 2025, the latest when runner-up at Cork beaten 2l in April; mixed signals on the strength of that form but fit after respectable Flat outing last month and feasibly treated on old form. |
9/1 |

Three-time hurdles winner and 2-12 on the Flat; has run well on every outing since joining this yard, including four Flat runs in the second half of last year; stayed on well when second over hurdles at Cork when last seen; will be doing best work late. |

Dual-purpose; stayed on well over 14.5f on latest Flat start at Killarney off 79; is 2lb wrong at the weights here but talented claimer takes off 5lb; won a maiden hurdle on his sole previous start at this track; wide draw to contend with but he's unexposed in this sphere and he could run a big race. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden. |

Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of four) in the Kingwell Hurdle on return from layoff and debut for new stable; drops back in class but needs to prove he's still capable of reproducing best Irish form. |
66/1 |

Flat, chase and dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien but he was out of sorts under both codes in his final two runs in Ireland; now returns to hurdling for new yard and this is a daunting task after 139 days off; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

Won maiden Flat and hurdle race for Jessie Harrington in 2024; big run for this yard when keeping on well from the rear to give Gallivanted a fright at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 25-1) a fortnight ago; had to come down the outer that day and it's no guarantee his old adversary will confirm those placings. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Very solid sequence last spring/summer on ground ranging from good (unraced on firmer) to heavy, including a dominant display from the back over 2m at this track; 7lb higher mark today demands a career-best Flat performance but he was bang there in blanket finish to a good handicap hurdle last month and it's not hard to think that this trip will suit. |
