19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |

9st 1lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
8st 10lb |
Fair placed form early last season and won at Roscommon in the autumn; did not get the best of runs over 1m2f on seasonal debut,; probably more effective at this trip. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Can be a tricky ride but justified market support when notching first win narrowly at Roscommon in October (10.5f, soft); wasn't beaten far in C&D handicap last summer from 2lb higher and ran well on return last season; considered. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 95y |
9st 8lb |
Had plenty of chances now (0-9) but he brings just about the best form to this race and it was a valuable sales race he ran in at Deauville last time; handles soft ground. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 5lb |
Recent hurdle runs have been disappointing; ended last Flat season with a good 1m6f effort, taking second behind the subsequent Fred Winter winner Saratoga at Listowel. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Useful staying handicapper on the Flat (rated 91); let down by jumping on hurdles debut (before brought down); much improved to land Punchestown maiden in January, jumping much more fluently and responding well to pressure to collar the hot favourite; flopped when well fancied at Naas last month. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 4lb |
Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal event in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); found Listed company a bit tough on latest but definite prospects back in grade here albeit trip possibly on the short side. |

Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal handicap in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); improving type for whom a stamina test suits but needs to step up a level here. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9). |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Signed off in Ireland with Listowel win (1m, heavy) last autumn; well held at long odds in four runs (7f-1m2f) for this yard; beginning to fall in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won three on AW at Dundalk (7f-1m) for Mick Mulvany and ended his time for that County Meath handler with a heavy-ground win at Listowel (1m; 13-2) last September; low-key in three starts for Ben Haslam, last of 12 over 1m2f at Doncaster on latest start; mark is beginning to ease. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |
11/2 |

1st 10 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |
11/8 |
