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. |

2nd 1 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won novice hurdle in April and is 3-3 over fences since, the latest win gained in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; may still have more improvement to come if aided by first-time cheekpieces but contests a stronger race here and the drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

13-race maiden but has shaped well on a few occasions, most notably when fourth at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) in March; not at same level of late, never counting at Galway latest; much more needed. |

10st 13lb |
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. |
9/1 |

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. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |

Modest point-to-point form from three starts; narrow winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in August and ran respectably on chasing debut at Killarney in October; unseen since tailed off here later that month; in the mix if at her best. |

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. |

Reserve; has been poor the last twice, over C&D and at Wexford but has a chance on her earlier Cork fourth. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Ran one of her best races on stable debut/second handicap start back from a break at Cork (2m4f, good) when keeping on steadily for fourth; always in rear when pulled up at Kilbeggan last time; tongue tie goes on after that disappointment and not ruled out if it has a positive effect. |
