1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |
11/2 |

10th 1 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
On a losing run but he made a good start for new yard (formerly with Stephen Hanlon) with second of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |

2nd 3 (2) |

Three-time winner in Ireland (7f/6f; AW/turf); 0-5 for Stephen Hanlon this year and he was well held at Hamilton (8.5f) 76 days ago; off since and now starts out for another new stable. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |

First reserve; long standing maiden who has shown her best form on the AW; beaten 6l on return to turf at Sligo latest; others appeal more. |

6th 13 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |

Lots of placed form on AW at Dundalk, including when beaten only half-a-length last month, but still a maiden and her turf form isn't as good. |
12/1 |

3rd 11 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

A 30-race maiden; placed in six of her 17 races at this venue; generally uninspiring form lately, although could be given some sort of chance on her third placing over C&D three starts ago. |

8st 10lb |
On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

All seven wins came over 6f (has run well at 5f) and six of them on AW; turf breakthrough in June when scoring at Fairyhouse (6f, good) by 2.5l off 3lb lower; moderate efforts since, including when beaten by 5.5l at Cork last time (6f, good to firm); others preferred. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; below form in two runs for current stable and his stamina for 1m is still unproven after fading over C&D 18 days ago (went off fast). |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; attracted stewards' attention when never-dangerous seventh on last month's stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); might well come good for Richard Hughes soon but his stamina for 1m is unproven and he's quite tricky to weigh up at the moment. |
5/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish; last three wins have been on Dundalk AW, most recently over 6f in January; has won over 5f, so should go well on stable debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

4th 2 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Nine-time winner scored at Navan (6f, good) in May off 60, his first win since 2022 and his fifth on turf; weighted to confirm recent Curragh form with American In Paris; trainer is back in business after 12 years without a Flat runner and saddled a 33-1 winner at Tipperary on Sunday. |

7th 8 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; three-time winner here, the latest over C&D in December off 48; didn't get the best of runs when unplaced here in February (5f) and raced wide when weakened into ninth of 11 last time (6f); can do better. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her. |

0-15 in Ireland but she finished second of 17 in a Navan handicap (6f, good) in October; former stable have gone 490 days without a winner and interesting to see how she fares in the market starting out for Daragh Bourke (sold 2,600gns in January); no tongue-tie today but the hood returns. |
