10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
11st 8lb |
Has regressed sharply since winning on the Flat for Karl Burke and nothing positive to report so far over hurdles, including last week's handicap debut (33-1). |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 12lb |
AW winner for Karl Burke early last year; regressive in turf handicaps; hinted at handicap potential at Naas in March on his third maiden hurdle start, beaten 28l in sixth behind a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance in a 20-runner contest. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Made good strides last season and scored twice at up to 2m, latterly at this track (good to firm); shaped encouragingly on 2026 return (1m2f); failed to build on that at Windsor (11.4f) nearly ten weeks later but takes another step back up in trip today; well handicapped if he returns to his best. |
9/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Brother to the top-class Cracksman; made good strides for Dylan Cunha last season (scored twice at up to 2m) and he shaped encouragingly over an inadequate 1m2f when fourth of eight in handicap at Pontefract in April; appeals as the sort to do well in 2026 and interesting now back up in trip. |
7/2 |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last season, including a win over 1m4f in April but he was best later on at about 2m (including at York); reappearance this term was pretty encouraging, considering it was over just 1m2f, and he looks a serious each-way contender. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Made the frame in two bumpers and, after a modest spell on the Flat, didn't run badly when third on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good), albeit no match for the first two; could run into a place now back down in trip in first-time blinkers. |

Four-time hurdle winner; had few chances on the Flat but her recent handicap debut saw her finish eighth of ten when a 50-1 shot; has new combination of accessories today but others appeal more for win purposes. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Fine record of 3-5 on the AW for Andrew Balding; 0-3 on turf on the Flat for that yard and hasn't troubled the judge in three runs over hurdles since joining this stable; pulled up over timber at Listowel after break latest; questions to answer. |
9/4 |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Three-time AW winner on the Flat; okay efforts in maiden hurdles at Navan and Limerick last autumn without really threatening to win; will qualify for a handicap mark after this. |

Minor promise in a 1m3f Southwell novice after Christmas; unable to make the drop in class pay when finishing remote in a 1m4f classified there since but the drop in trip might work better for her. |
