29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Became disappointing over hurdles after winning his maiden and he offered very little on switch to fences last October; hard to warm to. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of his third hurdle start when taking a Down Royal maiden in August last year (2m4f, good); nothing since and has been tailed off in three most recent starts; fences need to spark a return to form. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |

Has largely consistent form but needs progress to land this competitive handicap and double his hurdles tally; steps back up in distance (placed over 2m4f in Ireland). |

Won over 1m4f for Joseph O'Brien; added a five-runner novice hurdle on second run for this yard on New Year's Day; doesn't look obviously well treated for this handicap debut and has an absence to overcome. |

Flat winner (1m4f, good) for Joseph O'Brien; placed in three of his four completed starts over hurdles; has a claim as the form horse on his second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Mr Percy at Limerick in October; fell early at Punchestown in November and absent since; strong chance. |

Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien, gradually progressive in four runs for his current trainer, most recently when runner-up to a useful sort in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month; may find the market leaders too hot to handle here but should get into the money. |

11st 5lb |
1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; modest efforts in first two chases at Fairyhouse when beaten 17l and Wexford when beaten 40l, both last October; off since and this is an easier race; yard continues in hot form so she can't be discounted. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |

One of two for trainer; hasn't looked like adding to her Cork maiden hurdle win in six starts since then and was 17l behind on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding); Magic Day appears the pick of the stable's pair. |
15/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; won a Cork maiden hurdle (16.5f, good) last November; highly tried at times afterwards to no avail and modest effort on latest in a Bellewstown mares' hurdle; Full Of Life looks yard's main hope. |

Showed promise on five starts over hurdles, making the frame on three occasions, and took a clear step forward from chase debut when finishing a close second at Ayr (2m, soft) in January; has since left Stuart Crawford for 6,500gns and now returns to hurdles on a workable mark. |

Half-brother to three winners, including Longhouse Sale (smart bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdler/chaser); encouraging enough debut fourth in recent Perth maiden, staying on again late; will probably need further to fulfil potential. |

25th Oct 2024 Yielding 2m 4f 66y |

Failed to build on his initial Flat promise and little to recommend in three maiden hurdles; could well be more at home in handicaps and certainly worth a market watch for his local stable. |

4th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Modest on the Flat in Britain with Rebecca Menzies, sole win coming on Newcastle AW; runner-up final two starts in low-grade Pontefract handicaps before bought for 4,600gns at Tattersalls July Sales; ground should suit but likely best watched on hurdles debut. |

Good runs in defeat over 2m1f at Thurles on soft to heavy (keeping on and beaten a neck) and when a distant third at Cork (2m1f, yielding); tailed off at Limerick last time, but he's interesting now upped to this trip. |

Soundly beaten in three maidens in 2024 for Declan Queally; tailed off at Naas in January; much-improved second of 17 at Thurles in February, staying on strongly to be beaten a neck (16.5f, soft to heavy); raised 8lb at Cork, got going too late to take third on yielding; this trip will suit. |

Best of three maiden hurdle runs was a 13.5l seventh of 18 at Gowran last year (2m, good); returned from a 314-day break to make her handicap/stable debut here last month when keeping on late for an 18.5l fourth (2m2f, yielding); entitled to improve for that run and the extra distance can bring further improvement; interesting, place chance. |
