20th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 3f 175y |
9st 11lb |
Gained sixth win of his career at Bellewstown on penultimate (12.5f, soft); beaten off revised mark off 77 latest but he'll relish testing conditions if the rain comes and he's gone well here before. |

9st 11lb |
C&D winner in May (good) and went in again at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) 12 days ago when merely pushed out for a 5l verdict; the 8lb rise asks a question but should give it his best shot. |

11st 12lb |
Hurdles win came in a Tramore maiden in August (2m6f, yielding); form tanked after that over fences and hurdles; distant third at Naas when last seen in February (2m, soft to heavy); others of more interest. |

Beaten only a neck in this race last year during a good spell; a return to that form would see her involved; undistinguished chase form this term, but should not be ruled out. |

Three-time hurdle winner with a mark of 113; placed in both completed starts over fences, last time running as well as he was entitled to at Wexford; in the mix. |
100/30 |

3rd 7 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |

Hurdles winner (rated 113) unseated early when 50-1 on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick latest; prefers good ground and a clear round will likely be the aim here. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |
13/2 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Recorded a third hurdles win off a career low mark at Thurles in October (2m4f, good to yielding), beating Tir Og by a neck; decent enough sixth on Flat at Gowran back from a break last month, considering she stumbled at the start; she will have easier opportunities than this. |

Dual hurdle winner put up a fine run after a break on debut for this yard when runner-up at Clonmel; raised 3lb but might be able to progress enough to defy that; has run well in defeat here before. |

12st 0lb |
Promise in three maiden hurdles last season; disappointed first two handicaps this season despite market support; however, she bolted up off 110 in Fairyhouse apprentice handicap hurdle (2m, soft) two weeks ago; much higher mark to contend with here but she's a big player. |

Naas winner early last year for former yard after a long absence (2m3f, heavy); backed into favourite when tailed off on stable debut at that venue in January; capable of a better showing than that. |

Bolted up on yard debut on the back of an absence in January and bounced back from a lesser run when beaten roughly 2l at Fairyhouse earlier this month; both wins on heavy but versatile with regards to conditions and drop back in trip fine too. |

Dual hurdles winner with his last win coming in December 2023; reverts to hurdles, having been chasing in recent times with little success; finished a 13.5l fifth at Punchestown in June (2m3f, good to yielding) off 116 when last seen in this sphere; others preferred. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark. |

Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

Flat winner got his third hurdles win under this rider at Navan in September (2m, yielding) off 9lb lower; 1l behind Wholelotofbusiness when fourth at Down Royal in November (worse off at weights now); another positive effort when second back at Navan (2m, soft to heavy) when last seen in November. |

Dual-purpose; 3-15 over hurdles; scored at Navan (2m, yielding) on his last start in this sphere; raised 7lb and moves up in grade; needs a career best but the way he won at Navan suggested there could be more to come; chance. |
