7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown last June on good ground; placed in novice events at Bellewstown and Galway; failed to sustain that form in two outings before being left off in the autumn; Flat win over 1m4f came after a lengthy break, so could go well here. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown in June (16.5f, good); made a race of it with the hugely promising Davy Crockett on penultimate at Galway; disappointing run on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (18.5f) on latest; not sure this step up in trip will suit. |

Dual-purpose sort won 2m1f Punchestown maiden hurdle in June and has posted similar RPR's when second both starts since, in 2m1f novices at Bellewstown and Galway, each time forcing pace; jumping remains open to improvement as he enters handicaps. |

11st 12lb |
Second in seven of his 12 races over hurdles, including when beaten 16l by subsequent Grade 1 winner Zeus Power at Thurles last December; had a Flat run last month; overdue for a win and looks the part here despite his concerning profile. |

9st 9lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; best of four runs on the Flat a neck second in a C&D maiden (good) last April when trained by Andrew Kinirons; handles an ease and has gone well fresh; rated 77 and in the mix. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Dual-purpose maiden; runner up in five of eight starts over hurdles and rated 118; reeled in late on at Downpatrick on latest after attempting to make all on second start for this yard; should make another bold bid. |

11st 2lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Harry Kelly; ran well on the Flat at this venue on final start for Kelly; has run poorly in two of his three runs for this stable; makes handicap debut; his two stablemates appear to hold stronger credentials. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Ballinrobe bumper winner last July; won a Naas maiden hurdle easily at the first attempt in April; let down by jumping on stable debut when finishing last in a Cork rated novice (2m1f, good); improved jumping display when a good third in a rated hurdle at Wexford last time; he won't be far away. |
9/2 |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Ballinrobe bumper winner last summer readily landed Naas maiden (2m, good to yielding) on hurdling debut last month; slowly away when narrowly beaten on the flat at Bellewstown two days later but let down by jumping on yard debut in Cork rated novice latest; likely improver if getting jumping sorted. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run; in action on Flat and over hurdles since a good run over fences in the spring; blinkers added now; potentially interesting, though he needs to reverse Grand Annual form with Jasko Des Dames. |

16th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run, well held in valuable 2m6f Galway handicap hurdle on latest; previous two Flat maiden runs were poor so seemingly fair bit to do off this opening mark but is unexposed in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |

One of three for yard; generally out of form in 2025 in chases and on the Flat; narrowly denied in this race last year off this mark and this may have been a long-term target so would be no surprise to see a revival; interesting. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 7lb |
Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
Added a second hurdling win at Downpatrick last June off 2lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft), but recent runs had gotten progressively worse until return to form of sorts at Bellewstown last month when an 8.5l third (2m1f, yielding). |

3rd 2 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Dual winning hurdler, with the latest win coming at Downpatrick last June off 3lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft); good second at Navan in September (2m, soft to heavy) but performances have become progressively worse since and beaten 30l at Naas last time (2m3f, heavy). |

Bumper and dual hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell; okay in four Flat runs for current stable without threatening; handicaps need to bring improvement. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |

Modest Flat form and the switch to this discipline didn't bring much improvement at Kilbeggan last time when 150-1; cheekpieces now go back on with a tongue-tie added. |
