20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has some back-class on the Flat but the wheels came off big-time over hurdles for Willie Mullins and, after moving on for 15,000gns, he was tailed off at 50-1 on yard debut at Goodwood (1m6f; blinkers returned). |

Sixth off 1lb higher in last year's 1m6f Ebor at York and third in the 2m2f Doncaster Cup; however, ended last season on a low note and pulled up in hot races for all three starts over hurdles this spring; left Willie Mullins for 15,000gns 16 days ago and blinkers (last worn in Germany in 2023) replace recent cheekpieces; which side he shows today remains to be seen. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Classy sort on the Flat, third in last year's Doncaster Cup; 9yo has had just four runs over hurdles, winning Galway maiden last summer, but pulled up on both starts since last month's return, never featuring in Albert Bartlett and again in Grade 2 Fairyhouse novice (Generous Risk second); cheekpieces tried last time persisted with. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Two hurdle wins last autumn seem a pretty meagre return for his respected yard but he was unlucky when a strong-finishing third in the 2024 Chester Cup (2m2f) and much the same can be argued for his fourth in this race last year when denied a clear run at crucial stage (3lb lower today); usually makes inroads far too late, as in the Chester Cup and Northumberland Plate last two outings, and stall 1 demands some luck here, but a sound pace up front could bring him into the equation. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two novice hurdles last autumn seem a pretty meagre return for respected yard but he was an unlucky, strong-finishing third in the 2024 Chester Cup; glimpses of that Flat ability on occasions since, but he made inroads far too late from out the back in this last year (11th at 13-2) and it was a similar story in last month's Chester Cup (8th at 11-1); something needs to change and such a wide draw probably means he tries to come from the back again. |
14/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
An unlucky, strong-finishing third in this race in 2024 (good to firm; his only run here) and has a 1lb lower mark today; flickers of that ability on occasions since, though had to have his sights lowered for two hurdle wins last autumn; tailed off at 40-1 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle four weeks ago, after a winter break, and could be more interesting this time. |

0-9 over hurdles but placed on several occasions; runner-up off 105 in a Cork handicap hurdle in May on stable debut (2m3f, good); didn't match that in two subsequent hurdle outings; okay chasing debut at Tramore last time; this looks like a good opportunity given his top-rating of 108. |

Point-to-point winner; rated 130 over timber; got to within 1.75l of progressive Zanoosh on penultimate start in a handicap hurdle at Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy); bred for this game (dam a chase winner); this trip might be on the sharp side but can't dismiss. |

Quite lightly-raced 7yo with an upward profile, landing 2m4f Punchestown handicap on soft-to-heavy in November and fine run off 10lb higher over same trip at Navan a fortnight ago, finishing strongly to take third; step up in trip looks a wise move and likely improver. |
