15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement (from a handicap low of 62 to his present 98) when beating 24 rivals in last Sunday's Irish Lincoln; suited by the ground and the only runner with race-fitness; has to be taken seriously, although others have stronger claims at these weights. |

10st 0lb |
Won back-to-back Down Royal handicaps over the extended 1m2f and bounced back from a below-form hat-trick bid to finish third (beaten roughly 1l) at the Curragh when last seen in August; that was a first run at this sort of trip and there could be more to come. |

Progressed to win back-to-back 1m2f handicaps before finishing only fifth at Down Royal; has his stamina to prove over this far and it could be the handicapper has caught up with him. |

8th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 30y |

Dundalk third early in the year hasn't been replicated, most recently after a summer break when dropping out quickly at same venue last month; 3lb lower turf mark but opposable. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

10-race maiden who ran well for a long way when third over C&D in April; didn't build on that in two subsequent runs and was tailed off when last seen at Roscommon; probably best watched after 123 days off. |

18-race maiden who has been well held in five runs at 1m4f-2m this year; mark has bottomed out now and he needs a transformation on this big drop back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace a visor. |

Signed off on the Flat in Ireland with 1m6f win last summer but showed only modest form on first two hurdling starts; was bumped and fell at first hurdle last time; fair bit to prove. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |

2-11 on the Flat in Ireland, with one of those wins coming last time out over 1m6f; that was off a modest mark and unlikely to be good enough to win a race of this nature on hurdling debut. |

10st 0lb |
1m AW winner saw off Reposado by 2.25l at the Curragh (6f, soft) on latest and the runner up ran with credit off 4lb higher back there last weekend; however, she'll need a big career best off this mark and quick ground is a concern. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (21) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |

Surprisingly off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a 1m Dundalk handicap in December at 50-1; creditable fifth next time on AW and returned to turf in a C&D fillies' handicap earlier this month with a good third despite being 3lb wrong; player. |

Second runner for yard; 0-7 for Dermot Weld but off the mark on third attempt for this yard when scoring at 50-1 in 1m Dundalk handicap in December; fair fifth from 5lb higher back there next time; not sure to translate that form to turf; 3lb wrong. |

Got off the mark for his current yard at Chelmsford (7f) in November and has continued in decent nick, third of seven in 7f Southwell handicap 40 days ago; no forlorn hope. |

8th 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Third in 7f handicaps at Lingfield on his last two starts; doesn't look the easiest ride but Donagh Murphy is fine value for his 5lb claim against other apprentices; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give another good account at a track he ran well at last October. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

7f win at Chelmsford for Alice Haynes in November; two C&D runs for new stable have both resulted in good efforts but he didn't look straightforward under pressure here two weeks ago. |

10st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; off the mark at the ninth attempt on the Flat at Killarney last month (11.5f, yld-sft); half-sister to the yard's very useful but ill-fated hurdler Common Practice is worth a market check on first start over timber. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 73y |

Maiden has shaped as though her turn was near the last twice at around 1m1f; the step back up to this trip will suit and she wears cheekpieces for the first time; obvious chance. |

4th 11 (5) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far after meeting traffic problems at Limerick before strong favourite at Ballinrobe recently, every chance after a trouble-free run when dead-heating for second with stablemate Glenroyal over 9.5f; good chance again here but Glenroyal may have that bit more improvement in him. |

Twice a 1m course winner, the latest in November off 8lb lower; soundly beaten on last four starts, including twice over the extended 1m2f; now drops to 7f for the first time in the 20th race of his career; hard to be sure how he will cope. |
