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. |

Added a second AW win at Dundalk in March (1m); 0-13 on turf but ran some decent races in defeat in 2024 and competed effectively off this mark when third of 13 over 1m at Limerick last month. |

Added a second AW win at Dundalk last month (1m) off 3lb lower; ran some decent races in defeat on turf in 2024; hurdling wasn't her bag; could go well. |

Sole success came in 6f fillies' maiden here for this yard in 2023; right back to form when second of 14 over C&D in January; failed to back that up in two 7f outings since; wide draw a negative. |

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. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Hasn't troubled the judge in maidens or in three handicaps; handicapper relenting and still has time on his side and interesting jockey booking. |

Beaten 15l at Ballinrobe last August on handicap debut (2m1f, good, 100-1); well beaten at Down Royal on seasonal return (2m2f, good); entitled to come on from that but others preferred. |

Point-to-point winner for Ellmarie Holden; showed promise in maiden hurdles and again on handicap debut at Cork last August; was making no impression when unseating rider four out in a 2m4f hurdle on stable debut at Fairyhouse last month. |

Point-to-point winner showed promise in maidens and again on handicap debut at Cork; 15l fifth at Tramore (2m5f, good) was below that when last seen in October; has never raced on worse than good to yielding and makes stable debut after 190 days off. |

Hurdles winner (on good) is 0-9 on the Flat; best form has come in good ground maidens at Listowel (1m4f) and at the Curragh (1m2f); no impact in four starts on soft ground; needs the track to dry out. |

Third runner for yard; Flat maiden ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last year but was below form last two starts; rated 106 so has a bit to find, but capable of a decent showing on return. |

Left debut effort behind to be beaten about 7l in a good-ground maiden at Wexford and entitled to improve again on that; considered. |

Looks the best of trainer's two runners with the pick of his three maiden hurdle runs coming at Ballinrobe on his penultimate start when a 8.5l fourth (good); will need to improve to win. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 0-11 under rules and has been beaten about 15l in her two handicaps; unwise to rate her subsequent placed form in maidens as improvement; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

3rd 5 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |

Is 0-10 under rules; tongue tied when a creditable second of 12 in 2m Ludlow novice last month; cheekpieces are added now and she holds good form claims. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to score in eight attempts over hurdles but she's been placed five times, in Ireland and for David Pipe, and her third of 13 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) was a solid effort in January; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent starts but didn't stay 3m last time and now drops back down in trip in a modest event; tongue-tie added and she holds obvious claims. |
