11st 4lb |
One of two for yard; won decisively at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, gd-yld) off 6lb lower; pulled up next time at Wexford (25.5f, gd-yld) and tailed off over hurdles here on return from a break on latest; needs to rebound. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Won a 2m2f maiden hurdle here in 2024 (good); was chasing last season and finally got a win in that sphere at Kilbeggan in April (2m4f, good to yielding) off 96 but pulled up at Wexford last time; Mickey Cohen appears to be the stable's best chance. |

Won a 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap last time on similar ground; is up 6lb and has questions over this trip as he failed to see out 3m2f at Down Royal two starts back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front runner; 2-8 over hurdles and returns to this discipline off a good mark having completed a hat-trick over fences three weeks ago off 4lb higher; has found his best form since joining this yard in January and this track should suit him well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Front-running 7yo who brings impressive stats, being 3-5 since joining new yard, 3-4 since dropped to 2m and wearing cheekpieces, 2-2 since returned to chasing (Perth double) and 3-3 under Oakley Brown; should make another bold bid, despite taking a 9lb hike for latest win. |

Bounced back to form with hurdle win in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue-tie in March, his second start for Adrian Keatley, and made all over C&D (good to soft) when back over fences last month; obvious contender. |

Record of 2-32 on the Flat; best of three maiden hurdle runs was when third at Downpatrick over 2m2f; was keen and not all that fluent last time; this trip is a question. |

Dual Flat winner although tricky as well (twice refused to race); best around a mile on the level but seems to stay okay; two nice runs over hurdles, placed over a bit further at Dowwnpatrick last month. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Limited ability as a Flat handicapper (2-32); refused to race (not the first time) at Bellewstown in July; plenty of improvement needed from last month's hurdling debut at Kilbeggan. |

Made the breakthrough under this rider at the 15th attempt at Punchestown in December (3m, heavy) when making all in first-time cheekpieces; up 5lb and beaten 16l at Punchestown last time (2m7f, heavy); capable of more. |

11st 1lb |
AW Flat winner when visored for the first time, in February (8.5f); sound run back over hurdles when keeping-on third at Kelso this month (2m2f, good to firm); 2m4f should suit; each-way chance. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Has a poor strike-rate of 1-38 under rules; stayed on when the race was all over when fourth of ten at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) last month; others look more likely. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider. |

27th Oct 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins on the Flat, rated as high as 95 when with Sir Mark Prescott; a long way below that in a Flat event at Listowel a month ago; took well enough to hurdling in four outings between March and June, best effort when second at Punchestown in May; let down by his jumping at Downpatrick in September; good chance if producing his best on first-time cheekpieces. |

11st 2lb |
One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort. |

Five Flat wins, most recently at Gowran in April; struggled in maiden hurdles last year; ordinary handicap debut run at Perth and very disappointing when joint favourite at Kilbeggan a month ago; reported to have suffered minor skin scrapes. |
