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. |

Sole win came at Laytown last year; yet to make his presence felt this term and likely best watched from 4lb out of handicap here. |

25th Aug 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Showed little this year but, considering she lost two shoes in running, was not beaten far in a 1m1f handicap at Gowran two weeks ago; local stable always to be feared at this venue and market moves should be watched. |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer and is unexposed as a chaser; okay run over hurdles last time, and small chance if they've got his confidence back (didn't want to know about jumping on his last run over fences). |

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 |

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. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

10st 1lb |
Maiden in ten runs but has threatened to break it the last two times when runner-up at Gowran Park (9.5f, soft) and Limerick (1m4f, yielding); unlucky last time having hit the front and nailed on the line; up another 3lb but ground will suit and can go close again. |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |
11st 1lb |
Flat winner is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat at times; out of form on the level when last seen in October and overall record fresh suggests he might need this on first start for new yard. |
28/1 |
|
17th 16 (13) |
22nd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
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. |
25/1 |

17 (1) |
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. |
