3rd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
1-16 over hurdles and lost his way in this discipline when trained in Ireland; however, he's back on track for new yard having finished first and second in 1m6f/2m Flat handicaps this month; could be on a handy mark back over jumps. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Lost his way in Ireland last year as a hurdler but, having first Flat run since June 2023, made a winning start from the front for new yard in handicap at Thirsk (1m6f, good to firm) 15 days ago; the big outsider of five that day and dictated a slow pace, but he's gone back up by just 2lb and the return to 2m may well suit him; major player in bid to win a second time under Millie Wonnacott. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner at up to 2m for Keith Dalgleish in early summer 2023; consistent in handicap hurdles in Ireland in 2024, including a 2m6f win, but lost his way badly there last year; back on the Flat for a new yard after 196 days off with a fair bit to prove. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 180y |

Maiden has yet to indicate any signs of winning potential; pulled up on latest at Clonmel and 2lb wrong here; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 41y |

Handicap debutant; off since unseating in a Downpatrick hunter chase in March; placed in two point-to-points previously; best watched. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 0lb
|
Reserve; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but was disappointing when last seen in this sphere at Cheltenham last autumn when wore a hood; however, has improved plenty over fences since and ran a cracker in an Aintree Grade 3 last time; 4lb out of the handicap but hurdles mark is 14lb lower than chase one; check the market if getting a run. |

4th 18 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Irish 7yo who was successful last August/November in first two chase attempts, including at Kempton (3m, good); something to prove in this scenario, having posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps on last two starts, but in excellent hands and may yet resume improvement; not written off. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; this is a much deeper race than the one he won by more than 4l over C&D in November (good; effective on softer) but unwise to read too much into his subsequent defeats in Ireland that were at about 2m; a 7lb higher mark than for that last win could count, however. |

Has shown ability in France and Britain for former stables; was detached when falling on debut for this stable at Bellewstown; best watched for now. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

No show in maidens and not much better since tackling handicaps; beaten 27l when seventh at of 16 at Kilbeggan latest; down another 3lb but lots more needed. |

Inconsistent this year; fine run when third at this venue in April; pulled up at Kilbeggan, then beaten a head at Limerick before pulling up at Bellewstown; never in the hunt over C&D on latest. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 41y |

Inconsistent this year; fine run over C&D after a break in April; pulled up at Kilbeggan then beaten a head at Limerick before pulling up at Bellewstown latest; best on good ground; chance if in the mood and the track dries out but risks attached. |
15/2 |

5th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Maiden was third at Ballinrobe over 2m5f before pulled-up over 3m at Kilbeggan when raced too keenly; bounced back to be just denied over 2m3f at Limerick last time; up 3lb but a big player if repeating that. |

24th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 23y |

Two Flat wins from 56 starts, placed 16 times; 26-race maiden over hurdles, placed five times; fair run on the Flat last week; no chasing experience; overall record suggests he will find a few too good. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

No joy since Kilbeggan win in September 2023; missed the whole of last year; not a bad run on return at Ballinrobe but didn't back it up latest; capable off this mark but needs to rediscover best. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 61y |
