19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First Flat start since 2024 when he came home strongly to win slowly run 1m6f handicap at Sandown (good; 50-1) on his stable debut in June; the searchlights had to be switched on at Goodwood (soft) three weeks ago, and stamina for this far remains unproven, but he could bounce back on the forecast better ground. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |

Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; flopped when odds-on at Wetherby in February and is now 0-8 over hurdles but suggested his turn might be near when third at Plumpton (2m, soft) on his penultimate run; cheekpieces are now added on his return and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Two-time Flat winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had been struggling to get competitive in this code prior to his third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |

Two flat wins in 2022 included here over 1m7f; long losing stretch since and not too much to take from recent efforts; cheekpieces now added. |

Second reserve; two flat wins in 2022 included over this trip at Killarney; good runs this year at Gowran and when close third back at Killarney; bit to find with Gaoth Chuil on recent Killarney run though. |

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. |

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. |

Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound. |

Likes a stamina test, last three wins at around this trip including at Leopardstown last month off 71; hampered start when never counting at same venue 9 days ago but that run can be forgiven and remains a player. |

Won two staying handicaps last year and added another one over C&D (gd-yld) two weeks ago; a 6lb rise makes things harder but another good run likely on the cards. |

Gained a first turf win at Bellewstown on penultimate; well held off revised mark at Roscommon latest but has won six times here (including two C&D claimers) so could be dangerous back at this venue. |

Front-runner rated 69 after nine starts on the Flat; beaten 1l off that mark in a 1m4f Roscommon handicap (good) on seasonal reappearance last month; finished second in this race last year behind Magical Zoe; unlikely to get an uncontested lead here but she has place claims. |
