13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Rated 73 on the Flat and a three-time winner in that sphere; good second on seasonal return in a Cork maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); promise in his two Flat runs following that; one of the main players. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) in Ireland and was also placed over jumps; however, brought down early and pulled up in two maiden hurdles for current yard and a visor replaces usual cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110. |
11/2 |
|

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting. |

9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a C&D win in April (14-1) but she's not hit the same level since and was beaten 10l at Thirsk last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but she needs another bolt from the blue. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

No match for the winner last week at Pontefract (1m) but that was a return to form of sorts; has dropped to what should be a good mark. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Her wins have come on slow ground but she appears to act on good to firm; latest success came on AW (1m) in April, when 2lb lower; below that level in three turf starts since. |

Better record on AW but sole turf success came here two years ago; not coming here in great form but latest run in higher grade at Cork was okay. |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
7/1 |

Progressive 6yo won at Leopardstown in June and has stepped forward again in thee runs in defeat since, latest when beaten a head in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway; 5lb higher but remains very much one to keep on side. |

29th Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 123y |

Progressive 6yo won at Leopardstown last month and most recently career-best at same venue when staying on third to Slieve Binnian in premier handicap, having not had the clearest of runs; each-way claims. |
