22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Very solid dual purpose performer; campaigned on the Flat and over fences this year, winning the Cork Derby and second in a Kilbeggan beginners chase; reverts back to hurdles with the stable in cracking form and makes obvious appeal. |

10st 0lb |
A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level. |

Cracking dual-purpose 9yo has won four hurdles and gained most valuable of six Flat wins at Cork in May; lacks a bit of scope for this game, as shown when a long way off Chichester Park at Kilbeggan; better at the latter venue since, but was still low and left at a few fences. |

Hard to win with under both codes (1-35) but last two efforts perfectly respectable and new blinkers might give her a lift. |

Only one win from 17 turf starts on the Flat but placed seven times; this year's Flat form provides little encouragement, unplaced three times, though that includes twice at Dundalk where the surface has never brought out the best in her. |

AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |

Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

Took a step in the right direction when fourth at Sligo (2m2f, good); built on that when narrowly denied at Bellewstown (20.5f, gd-yld) on latest; nudged up 2lb but is 4lb below her last win and handles any ground; big chance. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |

3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |
