1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
10st 7lb |
Won on fourth chase start off 74 at Down Royal (19.5f, good) in early May; raised 5lb and couldn't follow up over 2m6f at Tramore later that month; drop back in trip here is a plus; not discounted. |

Won maiden point-to-point in February and won at Downpatrick (19.5f, good) on latest; runner-up failed to give the form a boost since but has to be respected off 5lb higher. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden. |
5/1 |

6th 1 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Emphatic winner of a handicap chase at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) last August but he's generally struggled since including in three runs this spring; overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove back over hurdles for new yard; equipment removed. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Yet to score after 34 starts between hurdles and fences but has run well at times, including latest when staying on second (Early Arrival 8.5l away third) to a clear winner in 2m6f Tramore handicap chase in May; place claims again. |

15yo veteran is the oldest in the field; well beaten in both starts this season; new blinkers need to have a dramatic effect. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 100y |

Bits and pieces of form off low marks, twice in the frame at Kilbeggan at 2m2f/24.5f; pulled up at Wexford on most recent start; more needed to make the breakthrough. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form to cause 50-1 shock over C&D (soft; front pair clear) last month and is now 3-13 over hurdles; it's hard to predict whether she'll be in the right mood again but she won't mind if the ground dries out. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Ayr (2m) in November on just her second run for current yard but well below par all three runs since, only 11th at Carlisle (2m1f) last month; others are preferred. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish; 33-1 winner at Ayr (2m, soft; tongue-tie refitted) in November on second run for present yard but she hasn't run as well since, last time when stepped up to 3m; others look stronger. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 3lb |
16-race maiden over hurdles, albeit his sole placed effort came here over 2m1f last summer; didn't jump well when pulled up on only chase start. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
0-16 over hurdles; 5.5l second at Wexford last August off 2lb higher a standout effort; modest form both starts this year; others look more convincing. |
