9st 2lb |
AW winner in Britain (1m) and added Limerick claimer last summer for previous yard; 0-6 for current yard, slow to break and keen when last seen in November; down to a nice mark but record fresh isn't great. |

Best form has been over C&D, including a win off 67 last March; not at best in recent starts but drops in grade here and is 7lb below last winning mark; not discounted. |

Four-time winner over shorter trips and only just denied over 2m at Thurles on final start last season; recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out. |

Decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; pulled up in a race of this type over hurdles at Tramore last month; better when fourth off his higher chase mark at this venue on latest; hard to win with. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose sort showed decent form over fences last autumn, including third in a Punchestown Grade 3 novice; not an easy horse to win with and has to rebound now after a failure over hurdles at Tramore. |

Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 84y |
9st 8lb |
11 time winner on the Flat; some good runs for Rebecca Menzies, highlighted by a selling handicap hurdle win last December and two placed efforts over 1m4f at Catterick in April; his stable debut 12 days ago at Limerick was okay when seventh of 12 (1m3f, good); declared to run in 7.50 Ballinrobe on Monday. |

Record over C&D reads 1233 and he's back off the same mark as when successful at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; player in the returning cheekpieces. |

3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |

Best effort yet when a 1.25l second of 14 at Gowran (9.5f, soft) on seasonal return; shaped like this longer trip would suit and is a player off just 1lb higher. |

Both wins have been on soft including this race two years ago when with Charles Byrnes; much lower mark nowadays and just okay runs of late; more needed. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 4f 46y |
9st 4lb
|
First reserve; two-time soft ground winner but on a long losing run; not the worst effort at Bellewstown latest and he's on a dangerous mark; could go well if getting a run. |

6th 7 (9) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 77y |
9st 8lb |
Struggled for form since leaving Charles Byrnes in 2023 and no signs of a revival at Down Royal last month; return to slower ground may help and on a career-low mark but he's hard to recommend. |
25/1 |
