31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose sort; a winner of six races on the Flat, including the Cork Derby on latest (1m4f, soft) on first run back after a break; 4-28 over hurdles and rated 120; makes a belated chase debut at the age of nine but not bred for this discipline; in good form right now though and can't be discounted. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m6f conditions race and two races over hurdles in 2025; lacks a recent outing and possibly more effective as a hurdler at this stage of his career. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Took him an age to get off the mark, but fine strike-rate under rules since the start of 2023, all five Flat wins coming over this trip and upwards, including readily beating Not Just Any Eagle 5l at Fairyhouse (1m6f) in July; tame effort on Wolverhampton AW later in month but still very much respected on return from a break. |

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

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

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. |

Dual course winner last spring who was well fancied over C&D on Friday, only to overrace in a messy affair; needs considering under Oisin Murphy, who's taking a first ride for the trainer (always to be respected with runners here). |

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. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Notched a three-timer last summer with wins at Bellewstown (1m7f, good), Ballinrobe (1m5f, good to yielding) and Galway (1m6f, yielding); made a moderate return at Ballinrobe last time and regular rider Patrick McGettigan is not aboard. |

9st 6lb |
Won three in a row last summer (1m5f/1m6f, good-yielding) and narrowly beaten over today's trip in big field at Galway; absent since October so may just need this (regular rider switches to Granville Street). |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Won three in a row on the Flat in the summer under Patrick McGettigan (1m5f/1m6f, good-yielding) and reverted to this code with narrow second in a big field at Galway (1m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; clearly thriving and has a big shout with the step back up in trip a likely plus. |

3rd 8 (1) |
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. |
