4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 4lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner is 0-10 over fences and yet to trouble the judge; well held in the Blazers at Galway (12.5l behind Charlie Luciano) on latest; eased 2lb but others have more convincing profiles. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 10lb |
2-4 over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences after nine runs and yet to trouble the judge; well held behind a few of these rivals in the Connacht National last time and a 3lb drop is not enough to tempt; preferred by Townend. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time bumper winner is 2-6 over hurdles; rated 130 over fences after three runs, the best of which was his latest 5l third at Galway behind a promising sort (2m2f, good); forecast rain won't pose any problems but unraced beyond 2m5f, so stamina to prove. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Novice hurdle winner here in October 2024 (20.5f, soft); lightly raced since; sent off the 6-4 favourite in this last year on return from 234 days off and found just one too good; similar preparation this year and Townend keeps the faith; player. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 73y |
11st 12lb |
Dual winner over hurdles has plenty of chasing experience; after seven months off, nice return to action when third at Wexford; bad mistake early on and nearly lost rider when 11-1 for Galway Blazers, doing well in the circumstances to finish seventh and that race is working out well. |
5/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 9lb |
2-7 over hurdles; 0-6 over fences but has run well in defeat, including when a close third behind Intense Approach in a C&D beginners' here last year; weighted to reverse that form and shaped promisingly in prep run after 218 days off at Wexford; could be on a nice mark for first handicap chase. |

3rd 3 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner last year at about 2m4f; good bit of chasing experience, notably third in 2m6f Galway beginners' last summer and second in 3m Clonmel novice; fourth in this race last year. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 130y |
11st 7lb |
One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
One of two for trainer; bumper/dual winning hurdler; returned from almost a year off when well beaten on Flat in February; more promise in 10l fifth over hurdles at Navan (2m, soft); didn't build on that at Bellewstown last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and dual winning hurdler; came back from almost a year off the track when well beaten in a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February; more promise in her 10l fifth of 12 at Navan last month (2m, soft); more needed with cheekpieces added to the tongue tie. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since including in her two runs at Fairyhouse last month over 2m4f on heavy ground in which she finished third both times; tired in the closing stages last time, slightly shorter trip may help. |

Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since; still in contention when fell last at Thurles next time; 2m6f looked beyond her when fourth at Punchestown; solid third over C&D last time (heavy); place chance. |
