9st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |

11st 0lb |
Now 0-10 over hurdles, placed twice; probably his best run when second in a C&D maiden in April; unplaced since in a handicap won by the in-form Malbay Madness who runs in the following handicap on the card. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |

2nd 16 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
10st 10lb |
Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |

Nicely improved to get off the mark off basement 40 rating at Leopardstown in May (beating Eastern Wind) for Mags Mullins under enterprising front-running ride (1m5f, good); up 6lb and debuts for new yard from okay draw. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Locally trained 4yo; Killarney maiden hurdle winner last July (2m1f, yld-sft); added a Limerick handicap hurdle off 112 in March (2m, soft); tailed off on latest at Bellewstown and now switches attention to chasing; would probably prefer softer ground. |

Flat maiden won a Killarney juvenile hurdle last year before a lesser run at Listowel; won a Limerick handicap on return last month; a player up 6lb with more to come. |

Has performed okay in modest 1m5f handicaps this year; runner-up in a maiden hurdle and heavy ground was against her in two handicaps; not dismissed. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Best effort yet on the Flat when a 3.75l sixth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) on return from 139 days off, denied a clear run (1.5l behind Eastern Wind); sharper for that, same mark here and should be thereabouts with smoother passage. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |

Poor form over hurdles on winter ground; showed promise when a long-priced second of 18 over 1m2f at Fairyhouse last June; on the same mark now. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
10st 8lb |
63-rated Flat maiden; showed improvement when switched to hurdling last summer, early in the juvenile campaign; placed on both Killarney starts, though beaten 10l on the second occasion; needs to find a bit extra. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Beaten 13l+ in four Flat races (1m-1m4f), earning a mark of 64 on turf; does at least have hurdling experience after finishing a close third here a month ago. |
7/4 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Just a hint of ability in four Flat starts but was disappointing at Dundalk last time; however, comes from a respected yard so can't be dismissed now tackling hurdles. |
