Ex-Irish maiden whose overall record is now 0-12 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable. |

Ex-Irish maiden who has failed to complete over fences (fell/pulled up) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; overall record is now 0-11 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable. |

Ex-Irish maiden; made low-key stable debut in October (breathing issue reported) then looked beaten when falling on latest outing in December; returns with quite a bit to prove. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 1lb |
Won off 6lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on softer ground in opening two starts this year and good ground at Sligo brought just modest improvement when sent off 11-2 j-fav'; something to prove now. |
13/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Won off 9lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on soft ground both starts this year but could improve for quicker conditions and ran well over C&D off 2lb lower last May; interesting. |
9/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 165y |

1-13 over hurdles, the win coming at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) last year; heavy defeat at Naas latest but may have needed that; should come on for that but may be on a tough mark (11lb above win) and wants good ground. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Struggled off marks in the 90s over hurdles and didn't improve for fences here last time when finishing upsides Gina Moon; probably no more than place claims. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Didn't last long with Gavin Cromwell; two of three runs in handicap hurdles for current yard weren't too shoddy but probably best watched now chasing. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland and ran very poorly in a chase on last month's stable debut; reverts to hurdling with first-time visor fitted; will be suited by the trip/ground here but has more to prove than all his rivals. |
20/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-12 under all codes when based in Ireland; battled on well to snatch modest third of 15 at Wexford (3m1f, good) last month and is still unexposed over fences but others have more pressing claims here; blinkers removed for this stable debut. |
10/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Maiden's best run came when second in 3m2f Sligo handicap hurdle (good) last summer; back from 198-day absence when well held twice in recent handicap chases and needs to improve loads to feature although yard back in form so don't rule out. |

In decent form over fences in July for the late Edward O'Grady; more recent form provides limited encouragement. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 5lb |
One of three runners for yard; maiden over hurdles has run reasonably well on some of her four chase starts but has been poor the last twice and has to do much better. |
22/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Eight defeats include three over fences; her form is nothing to get excited about and she ran no race last time at Kilbeggan (2m4f); this might be more her trip but there are reservations. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 5y |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced sort makes handicap chase debut; manner of latest fourth at Downpatrick (23.5f, good) suggests this trip may be on the sharp side but she has place claims nonetheless. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Yet to make an impact in ten hurdle/chase starts although best hurdles effort was at this course in April last year; disappointed when sent off the well-backed favourite for Killarney handicap chase in October; 235 days off. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 0y |

Winning pointer; 0-5 over hurdles and 0-3 as a chaser, having yet to genuinely threaten; tries a tongue-tie. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 146y |
10st 11lb |
1-10 over hurdles; puzzling effort last time (handicap) but had made a winning chase debut at Downpatrick (2m7f beginners'), beating Betty Dutton; considered with Eoin Staples claiming the 7lb. |
5/1 |

6th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 70y |
10st 7lb |
A 95-rated hurdler; made a winning chase debut at Downpatrick; opening mark is 14lb above hurdles rating; however, she is probably on the upgrade and could feature. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 150y |

Win a Tipperary handicap hurdle off 93 last winter; modest efforts in three of her four subsequent runs and bit to prove on this chase debut. |

No more than minor promise over hurdles but hasn't had a lot of racing and she did win a point, so chasing could be more her thing. |
