4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
By far the most talented of these over hurdles (rated 140) and he jumped accurately before tiring on his chase debut at Kilbeggan over 2m4f; nowhere near as good dropped back to 2m (good) at Wexford on latest and questions to answer now. |

Smart five-time winner over hurdles and ran well in two useful handicaps in May; 3-1, jumped well out in front before tiring on chase debut over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; could be hard to beat over this trip. |

11st 12lb |
Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 170y |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose maiden had been placed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but has been poor in two starts for this yard (both here) and needs improvement on her best form anyway. |

11st 4lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

Modest hurdles form but some improvement when making some late headway in a 1m2f maiden here last week; could get into the frame. |

10th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Beaten roughly 3l in a claimer on debut for Ger Lyons but shown little on the Flat or over timber since and this is a tough assignment. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 77y |

25-race maiden; one of his better efforts when fourth of 14 at Down Royal last month; needs to prove himself on slower ground. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider. |
40/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poor strike-rate but he arrives after a creditable third at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month; likely one or two will have his measure today. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

Finally gained a first win in 9.5f classified event at Wolverhampton in February; not proved easy to catch right since and beat one in 1m6f Redcar handicap last time; others are preferred. |

11st 11lb |
Beaten out of sight in three runs on the Flat, including a maiden claimer at Bellewstown this month; impossible to recommend on his hurdling debut on what he's shown to date. |
