Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel; below best this season; first-time blinkers failed to do the trick at Gowran. |

Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel off this mark; two runs this year not inspiring but soft ground combined with first-time blinkers could see a much-improved effort. |

Close third at Limerick in June 2025 beginning to look like a flash in the pan; poor form over hurdles and on the Flat this year; tailed off at Fairyhouse latest (1m6f, good). |

Some promising runs in defeat last season; okay run over hurdles at Bellewstown in April but his tailed off finish at Sligo last month is concerning. |

Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |

Runner-up in two juvenile hurdles at Ballinrobe since going close at Limerick in June; has an edge over Faire La Nouba who has been placed on his two most recent Flat starts. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far. |

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy. |

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. |

Hasn't managed to reproduce her debut Down Royal maiden second of last summer, pulled too hard and didn't stay 1m4f last time; tongue-tie now tried but remains opposable despite reduced mark. |

11th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 110y |

Promising second at 33-1 on debut at Down Royal (7f, good) last June; has failed to build on that; 10-1 when a never-dangerous ninth of 14 handicap debut over 7f at Fairyhouse; first time beyond 1m now, hard to be sure she will stay this far. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 20y |
11st 7lb |
Half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip; modest Flat handicapper for Joseph O'Brien; won over 1m5f at Down Royal last July off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway represents his best form; has joined Enda Bolger; would prefer better ground. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |

Off the mark on second attempt in handicaps, readily winning over 1m5f at Down Royal last month off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway on easier ground and remains a contender with better ground likely in his favour. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (11) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |

Fourth runner for yard; confirmed promise of handicap debut third at Limerick (11.5f, good) by scoring comfortably at Down Royal (1m5f, good); hiked up 10lb for that and drops back slightly in trip; preferred by McMonagle and this half-brother to Melbourne Gold Cup winner Gold Trip could have more in the tank. |

Has run poorly in three maiden starts and failed to leave that form behind on handicap debut at Limerick last time when finishing well back in the field (1m3f, good); cheeckpieces are added to get the best from her but big improvement needed. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
