22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Made it 4-5 over fences with 10l win in three-runner handicap at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good to firm) last month and beaten just a neck in a match at Perth (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; bumped into an unexposed winner last time and there is every chance that he will again be bang there. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive 6yo who comfortably beat two rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 4-5 over fences; went up another 4lb for that but will be fine over this shorter trip and makes obvious appeal. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won his first three races over fences (2m4f to an extended 2m5f) and, in first-time cheekpieces, ran well enough at Cartmel (2m1f; Krak 15l behind) to believe he's still on a workable mark; hard to knock. |

Standout effort a third in a 2m Listowel maiden (good) but was still beaten 14.5l; tailed off on handicap debut at Galway latest when a 66-1 shot; now visored. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Last-gasp Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last August (2m6f, good), but yet to offer anything for his newest connections. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last August; tough task in Listed novice in October on final run for Stuart Crawford, before sold for £26,000 and tailing off when 150-1 for stable/handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) two weeks ago; may have needed that run but a dramatic turnaround is needed. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |

Bumper runner-up who won maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last August; has shown promise on yielding to soft; tough task in Listed novice in October when fifth of six on final run for Stuart Crawford; subsequently sold for £26,000; improvement necessary on stable/handicap debut. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 40y |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in August (2m3f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut at Galway (16.5f, good), doing best work at the finish; this trip more suitable but may not appreciate the forecast rain. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Built on an improved display at Ballinrobe when winning a 2m3f maiden at Kilbeggan a month ago; opening mark appears stiff, but further progress is quite feasible. |

Hints of ability in maiden hurdles last year for Ross O'Sullivan; pulled-up in a h'cap on debut for this yard; blinkers return after the cheekpieces last time. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (2m2f, good) last month; this is tougher off 5lb higher but he seems versatile trip-wise and he still has potential; respected for in-form yard. |
11/4 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Placed in five of his eight runs over hurdles without looking particularly progressive; in good heart though and looks sure to win a race such as this; place claims at least. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Placed several times, including off a mark of 101 in Musselburgh handicap (2m4f) most recently; just an ordinary maiden and faces a stiffer task on these terms. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 188y |

Maiden on a declining mark but hard to fancy in what appears a very competitive handicap, although Killarney maiden third this time last year gives her claims. |
14/1 |
|
12th 8 |
28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 135y |
11st 9lb |
Fair form in six attempts in maiden hurdles, best being close third in Killarney mares' race last October; appeared not to stay 2m4f on handicap debut later that month; a long way below her best on her only 2026 start; tongue-tie on now. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

Fair form in six attempts in maiden hurdles, pick being close third in Killarney mares maiden last October (yielding); didn't appear to stay 2m4f on handicap debut later that month; definite player if forward enough on reurn to action. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mixed form since winning a Sligo maiden hurdle (extended 2m1f, good) in August 2025 but, having posted one of her better efforts at Cork, was well beaten at Roscommon (3m) last month on her final start for Eric McNamara; subsequently sold for £10,000 and could be involved if recapturing her best form. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 210y |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner last August; made three undistinguished appearances over fences before reverting to hurdles at Cork last time; should be sharper for the run; worth market check. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner who was then beaten about 20l in a handicap; has since raced three times over fences, not kicking on from a fair first effort; hard to make a solid case. |

The best of four maiden hurdle runs when beaten 16l at Cork in July; was poor at Ballinrobe since but is fairly handicapped on that earlier run so a chance if back to that level. |

Ran out a 10l winner over C&D on good ground in June off 7lb lower; held when favourite next two starts before solid third of 16 at Sligo (2m2f, good) off current mark; failed to stay at Sligo (20.5f) last time but has course, trip and conditions to suit here. |

Placed in three handicaps last August at up to 2m6f; 10l winner over this trip at Downpatrick in June; held when favourite on next two starts; very closely matched with Phoenix Arizona on running here last time; should be thereabouts. |
