10st 0lb |
Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April for Noel Meade and some decent runs in defeat since; can be forgiven a poor Flat run on testing ground at Gowran five days ago but still needs more; 5lb out of the handicap. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April and runner-up in a Kilbeggan handicap was his best run since; well beaten in Flat return in a claimer around here last month (1m, good); cheekpieces on now but others preferred. |

Point/bumper winner; reverted to hurdling at Clonmel on latest after two moderate runs over fences but in rear throughout; others are more appealing at present. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 1lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |

Sole win over hurdles came in a 2m4f Clonmel handicap last June off 111; some fair efforts in defeat since; fourth in a Clonmel claimer in February; has a squeak if back to best. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Won two good-ground handicap hurdles last summer but hasn't recaptured that level of form this year, including on recent chase debut at Wexford (50-1). |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |

Beaten by Malbas over C&D last June before back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Galway, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him when pulled up at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor run in yielding at Downpatrick. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge in five maiden attempts over various trips, not entirely discredited on latest after being hampered at Killarney; room for improvement in jumping and doesn't appeal as one to make an immediate impact in handicaps though bred to stay. |

Unplaced in two point-to-points and similar story in five maiden hurdles at 2m-2m4f on a variety of ground; has a tendency to jump to the left; rated just 95 and others look more likely. |

Ex-Irish; 12-race maiden over hurdles but placed in three of his four for current yard, last time finishing third of 12 in C&D handicap (good) 21 days ago; each-way claims again. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Ex-Irish; 11-race maiden over hurdles; placed in two of his three runs for current yard, last time finishing runner-up to a subsequent easy winner in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft); interesting. |
8/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |

Made it 0-10 over hurdles when soundly beaten in handicap at Perth (2m, good) last September when last seen; however, prior to that he was third in a maiden hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in August on his stable debut and he'll be firmly in the mix if rediscovering that form. |

10st 6lb |
She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Two wins (1m7f/2m, good to soft/heavy) from her first three starts for this yard and perhaps her latest run at Newbury three weeks ago came too soon, just six days after she won at Fontwell; not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 2-3 for new stable, most recently scoring in a canter at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last Sunday; open to further progress and looks well in under a 7lb penalty; commands respect. |
