24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 11lb |
Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) off 5lb higher last year; consistent sort has finished third in both runs for new yard; this is a higher grade compared to those outings but he's shortlisted. |
100/30 |

3rd 5 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 9lb |
Sole hurdles win came in 2m3f Limerick handicap last May on good; claimed out of Declan Queally's yard at Clonmel in May (4,000euros) and solid start for new connections when staying-on third in 2m4f Clonmel handicap last month; one to consider. |

3rd 5 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Is 1-13 over hurdles with the win coming at Limerick last year off 6lb higher (2m3f, good); some decent runs in defeat in claiming hurdles here and at Tramore, when a 12l runner-up (2m1f, good to yielding); makes stable debut. |

Winning hurdler beaten 21l in that sphere on latest; pulled up and beaten 28l in two previous chase starts, albeit those were over inadequate trips; rated 7lb lower over fences so not dismissed. |
12/1 |

6th 10 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Took a big step forward when second of 18 over an extended 2m6f at Limerick early last month (good); proved that was no fluke when winning over C&D last time (Gerrys Wish 2.25l behind in second); up 6lb but she's of obvious interest. |

Was struggling in handicaps prior to a big step in the right direction when beaten 6.5l by subsequent winner Knocknagoran Lady at Limerick (2m7f, gd) 21 days ago with Hob's Angel behind in fifth; one to beat if building on that. |

Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April for Noel Meade and some decent runs in defeat since; can be forgiven a poor Flat run on testing ground at Gowran five days ago but still needs more; 5lb out of the handicap. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April and runner-up in a Kilbeggan handicap was his best run since; well beaten in Flat return in a claimer around here last month (1m, good); cheekpieces on now but others preferred. |

11th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 6lb |
It was a low-grade 1m4f handicap she won at Limerick 16 days ago and that was hard work; had made a good start to hurdling career until let down by her jumping when pulled up in a Downpatrick handicap; not bred for chasing but she's a 4yo filly receiving all the allowances. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
5/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 160y |

Attracted support at Down Royal in early May, let down by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown nine days later; failed to build on that at this venue next time, this longer trip may suit him better. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |
