20th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Improving mare seeking to complete a hat-trick, following a Killarney success when overcoming 7lb rise in 1m1f contest here a fortnight ago, having to wait for an opening and getting first run on runner-up when holding on by a head (pair clear); another 8lb rise to overcome but thriving. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Consistent mare gained the third win of her career (and first on turf) at Killarney last month (1m, good); up 7lb and moves up in grade but nicely drawn here and can't be dismissed in her current form. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (1) |

Both wins have been on the AW, including in March off 59; close third from a bad draw at Dundalk on Sunday, having 11 days earlier chased home Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse over this trip; has her chance again and good draw plus 5lb claimer booked. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Tullius; was a bit keen but kept at it when 6l sixth over C&D in October; tailed off on return, but will be fitter for it. |
16/1 |
|
10th 16 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 180y |
10st 4lb |
Signs of improvement in two handicap outings last October, notably when a staying-on sixth over a similar trip to this at Down Royal; half-brother to five Flat winners, including multiple Pattern scorer Tullius; should be more mature than when last seen; each-way prospect if fit. |
10/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 30y |
10st 0lb |
Soundly beaten in a trio of good ground maidens at 2m-2m1f and well held on recent handicap debut at Cork; 4yo now upped markedly in trip and potential for improvement remains. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 8lb |
Got to within 19l of the winner at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last time, which was the closest he has gotten in five handicaps; weakened late on, so drop back in trip looks the right move but others make more appeal. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

Winning hurdler; went close in a Flat handicap at Limerick three starts back; last month's Sligo run does not inspire confidence. |

5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 56y |
10st 2lb |
Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |
7/1 |

7th 3 (14) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |

Winning hurdler for Noel Meade; regressive on Flat in recent years until much more encouraging run at Limerick on Saturday, coming from some way back under 7lb claimer when beaten a head/neck over 1m4f (good); Billy Lee now takes over and major claims off same mark but draw a negative. |

Often leads and has been runner-up in seven of her 10 hurdles outings; mark has been steadily declining, though, and tame effort in Galway handicap last time. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |
14/1 |

2nd 11 |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |

Has been runner-up in six of her eight hurdle starts but there was no improvement tackling a first handicap at Ballinrobe last time; needs to find a bit extra to get the job done. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Ran one of her best races on stable debut/second handicap start back from a break at Cork (2m4f, good) when keeping on steadily for fourth; always in rear when pulled up at Kilbeggan last time; tongue tie goes on after that disappointment and not ruled out if it has a positive effect. |

Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance. |

26th Jul 2026 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Breakthrough winner in five-runner handicap at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) in May and she was in contention when brought down three out at Worcester (extended 2m4f, good) last month; both were under Rian Corcoran; cheekpieces (tried three runs back) return; one to consider. |
