Dual French hurdles winner showed some ability in his AW starts but just a moderate run back from a break at Killarney in July when a distant third; back over hurdles now with another break to overcome; interesting that Jack Kennedy rides as he is 1-1 for this trainer. |

Ex-Irish; eight-race maiden; hasn't run to his best on the AW for Phil Kirby, but may fare better back on turf. |
25/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |
13/2 |

Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |

9st 12lb |
Dual AW winner whose turf win came over 1m6f on heavy at Listowel last year; back from hurdling campaign last season and stablemate of top-weight may just need this. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner has run well in defeat in maiden hurdles this year, including over C&D; below form in an Aintree handicap last time, but this isn't as competitive and he is one to consider. |
4/1 |

16th 10 |

11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner; placed in three of four maiden hurdles at up to an extended 2m1f in Ireland this year but doesn't strike as being obviously well treated from an opening hurdle mark in the mid-120s. |

11st 9lb |
Won this last year by 12l off a mark of 95, beating Targa Flavio and also scored on the Flat here in June; poor Flat run since but likely to be ripe for his double bid and a big player even off 12lb higher. |
5/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |

Won on the Flat over 1m4f at Tipperary last year and over hurdles at Listowel; raised 10lb for winning well on the Flat over 2m at the latter track last time; this trip is fine and a player. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Maiden produced much less encouraging runs last summer after a good 1m6f Gowran effort ; made seasonal return over 1m4f here last timr when 4.25l behind in eighth (denied a clear run from 2f out); others more appealing. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who won twice at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) and once over hurdles in the spring; up another 4lb on this return to the Flat and may not be allowed his own way this time. |
7/2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Carried the good cheer of a successful spell on the Tapeta back across to hurdles at Fakenham latest (3m, good), winning as he pleased; 8lb rise looks about right, and has stamina to spare down in trip. |

1st 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Progressive 1m6f Flat winner in Ireland last summer for John Joseph Murphy; is going very much the right way in this sphere too for her new yard, comfortably making it 2-3 over hurdles in 2m juvenile at Newbury in December; this demands plenty more but she shouldn't be underestimated after a break. |

C&D winner last May off 11lb lower; hinted as though returning to form when an encouraging third at Killarney but then clipped heels and unseated at Galway; likes it here and could go very well. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 14y |
9st 9lb |
In good form last summer, winning at Roscommon (1m4f, good) and second behind Steps In The Sand in this event; pleasing effort when third at Killarney on her second start of the season; one for the shortlist. |

3rd 5 (12) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |

In good form last summer, winning at Roscommon (1m4f, good) and placed on four occasions; should be better for last month's return at Fairyhouse and yard in fine form of late. |

0-16 on the Flat; best effort over timber came in a 2m maiden hurdle here last year but was still beaten 13.5l in that contest; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and best watched. |
25/1 |

Regressive Flat maiden wasn't beaten far on hurdling debut last year before falling; will be better suited to handicaps. |

Maiden's best efforts have been over much shorter trips; tame recent Killarney effort doesn't augur well. |
