19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |
11st 11lb |
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. |

9st 9lb |
Top rated two time course winner for former yard, including at this trip; running well in handicaps this season; beaten 0.5l at Naas off 75 latest (10.5f, good to yielding); her course wins came on easy ground and today's conditions and drop in trip have to be a concern. |

10st 2lb |
Two wins in 2024 but has been in the handicapper's grip since; not a bad run at Fairyhouse latest (1m2f, good) but still beaten 8l and didn't look to be crying out for this longer trip; down in grade but others appeal more. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |

Useful form in 2024, winning over a mile at Punchestown and Dundalk; failed to prosper last year and lots to find on two efforts this term; tries this longer trip again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Record over C&D reads 1233 and he's back off the same mark as when successful at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; player in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |
|
21th 15 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |

9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish (1m1f winner in 2024); running for this yard since December and the odd piece of that form gives him a shout, including penultimate start but that was on soft ground; below form sole start on firmer than good. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish winner; hold-up performer who finished well for second behind Scarfo off his much-reduced mark at Chepstow (1m, soft); needs a strong pace and he has major claims if he gets one. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in August 2024 when trained in Ireland; has tumbled down the weights since his British debut in December; is a hostage to fortune as he tends to be held up and requires a fast pace to be seen to best effect. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |
|
6 (5) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |

No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

Three-time Flat winner is 1-7 over timber, that win in a Punchestown maiden (2m1f, soft) last season; absent since poor run at Limerick over Christmas so watching brief advised, unless market speaks. |

Hurdles winner is 3-7 on turf on the Flat; deadheated at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding) before two lesser runs over hurdles; returned to the Flat at the Curragh three weeks ago to bag another win (1m2f, yielding); up 9lb now but should be in the mix again. |

Dual-purpose sort was poor over hurdles last time but had deadheated at Galway (1m) on last Flat start; is just 1lb higher today and goes well with an ease in the ground so looks a big player. |

Wildly inconsistent ex-Irish mare who hasn't looked to see it out in three tries over 1m4f+; typically failed to build on her Lingfield second when well beaten last time (both 0-50 classified events) and stamina is an obvious concern. |
