Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m1f, good) in May last year who made an encouraging start for this stable when third in a Worcester novice in June, but disappointed on handicap debut following a break and hasn't been seen since a heavy fall in November; returns with something to prove. |

One of two for trainer; in decent form in the second half of last year, placing three times before gaining a C&D novice hurdle win (yielding); another positive effort when placed at Down Royal next time (2m1f, yielding) off 1lb lower; may come on for moderate return at Cork last time (2m3f, yielding). |

2m maiden win here last August (good) remains his only success in 11 over hurdles; debuted hood (retained here) possibly behind a better round of jumping than he sometimes manages around sharp tracks when going close off today's mark at Newton Abbot last month; place claims in same mood. |

Narrow winner of a 2m4f maiden at Wexford this month; that was his eighth start over hurdles, and his handicap rating of 116 was left unchanged; others are better suited by the race conditions. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Top rated here at 116 and plenty of placed efforts in bumpers and maiden hurdles; not a bad run on handicap debut at Cork five days ago and should be on the premises back in a maiden, although has to give weight away to all. |

12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden but went close when beaten a head at Stratford on stable debut for Dan Skelton, his first attempt at 2m6f; was well backed and saw the trip out strongly, offering encouragement he'll stay this slightly longer distance; up 4lb but remains a leading contender. |

0-8 over hurdles in Ireland but he finished third of 20 in a Cork handicap (2m, yielding) in April on his final run; left Shark Hanlon for 24,000euros since; now tries a new trip after a break but he needs a close look on his first run Dan Skelton. |

Maiden's best run in four handicap starts was when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) at Christmas; twice well held on more testing ground since; might go okay on likely better surface here. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024; took a while to find his level in Irish handicaps but decisively landed a gamble in a 24-runner race at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in May; should stay this far but never threatened at Royal Ascot (2m4f, sole start on officially good to firm) next time and weakened right out of it at Galway (2m1f) on latest, which leaves him with something to prove again. |

Officially unraced on firmer than good; ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024 before a 260,000euros sale; failed to fire last year (including one 2m1f race) but shaped nicely on second start this term and landed a gamble in clearcut fashion in 24-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good) on latest, challenging 2f out; he was ridden that day as if stamina is a strength and, despite his revised mark, is one to note. |

Remote third at Wexford her best finishing position; can be keen and described as 'a very difficult ride' when connections were called in by the stewards after she was fifth at Ballinrobe; after a year's absence, ran in the corresponding race at Ballinrobe last week, keen again and had weakened out of it when falling at the last; readily opposed on handicap debut. |

0-7 over hurdles and rated 94; has shown ability in maiden hurdles but the closest she's got to the winner was when beaten 6.75l into third of 9 at Sligo (2m4f, good) last time; should be sharper for that first run back after a break but steps into the unknown here trip wise; others appeal more. |
