23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 108 over hurdles; gained a first success at the 12th attempt over hurdles in a weak Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, good); he's in good form for his chasing debut but others are more appealing. |
9/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 13lb |
Now 0-11 over hurdles but twice placed in Bellewstown maidens, including early this month after forcing much of pace; has his chance in what appears a weak maiden. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 7lb |
Similar RPRs in mid 80s in three maiden hurdles last year at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; three decent runs on the Flat since joining this yard so won't lack for fitness in first handicap hurdle; market check advised. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m5f (good) Leopardstown handicap off basement mark of 40 on final start for Mags Mullins in May; solid first two runs for this yard; 5l third of 16 at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) and denied by short head at Down Royal (1m5f, good) three days ago; big chance off 2lb lower. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
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. |

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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y |
10st 8lb |
The most experienced filly in the field; not beaten far when third of 16 off 97 in a Cork handicap hurdle last time out; should run her race but probably vulnerable back in a maiden. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 13 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 8lb |
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. |
16/1 |

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. |

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. |
