11st 12lb |
Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over 2m on only start in that sphere last year; ran respectably on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) in July on only start since; has the ability to run well if staying this trip. |

Was well backed when winning a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on debut in February (2m; sft); not easy to assess making chasing debut on first run since and for new yard but has the ability to run well. |

One of two for trainer; point/hurdle/bumper winner was a beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) off 118; never travelling when pulled up next time at Naas (2m4f, heavy); back on track when run down late on at Navan (3m, soft to heavy); up 4lb for that effort but in the mix. |

Point/hurdle/bumper winner was beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding); raised 6lb for that but was never travelling in a Naas Listed event last time (2m4f, heavy); needs to bounce back. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won Tipperary maiden (2m3f, good to yielding) for Emmet Mullins in October but was well below that form when fifth in Chepstow novice (2m7f, good to soft) for new stable in December; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; needs a much better performance. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Bounced back quickly from disappointing seasonal debut when winning a Tipperary maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding) by 6l this month; faces much stronger opposition on this handicap debut but remains very unexposed and is open to considerable further improvement over 3m. |
9/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Strong connections but hasn't progressed from his third in a heavy-ground bumper at Limerick in January; finished second in a Wexford maiden hurdle in April but wouldn't have remotely troubled the winner even without some mid-race interference; that was over 2m4f which is probably more his trip. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Novice hurdler who has failed to sustain his progress in two handicap attempts; physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) needs to make a difference. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 2 |

Had useful form in Ireland in a bumper and maiden hurdles; beaten at evens on British debut (2m7f) but under a positive ride back over 2m at Uttoxeter he made a lot of the running for a hard-fought win; faces a much stiffer examination here. |

21st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 184y |

Has posted a couple of decent runs over timber but recent showings in that sphere have been poor; now switches to the Flat; others appeal more. |

Breakthrough win when upped to 3m1f at Cork earlier this month with cheekpieces fitted, appreciating better ground when rallying late on after being headed by favourite; 6lb higher but conditions again to suit and could have more to offer. |

Lowly mark but went close at Naas in March when denied by 0.75l (2m6f, sft-hvy); didn't back that up at Limerick latest; unraced on good ground, pedigree suggests it might suit; cheekpieces go on. |

Sent off at 7-2 and duly produced an improved effort when beaten only 1/2l in a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo a month ago; hood now added to usual tongue-tie; should go close for trainer who hit the target in a handicap chase at Clonmel last week. |

Shaped well on racecourse debut in January 2025, beaten 12.5l by Coral River; below that form twice since but ran fine in a decent beginners on chase debut at Fairyhouse lto, beaten 36l into sixth; may be one for the longer-term but open to plenty of improvement and an interesting contender. |

Bumper winner in Ireland; inconsistent results for current stable, taking hurdles record to 0-8; not particularly solid but her reduced mark is attractive judged on peak efforts. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-7 over hurdles but kept on for respectable fourth at Bangor (2m, soft) in February, her fourth start for Alastair Ralph, and has dropped another 5lb since; may benefit from this move back up in trip; worth a second look. |
9/2 |

4th 9 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won an Irish bumper in early 2025; no closer than 15l in three runs for current yard, the last two handicaps (2m; good to soft/heavy); could still have a say in this weak a race. |
