3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut; stable appears to have two stronger contenders. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; below best in two runs since but goes well fresh, handles heavy ground and his yard won this last year; can't discount. |

Five-time winner; has shown good form at Galway, winning twice, including a 1m6f conditions event at this year's festival; soundly beaten at Listowel; fair prospect at these weights but unplaced in six Curragh outings. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 5f 80y |
11st 5lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo won ordinary 1m4f maiden on last summer's debut before good second in 1m6f contest at Galway festival; 6-5 fav, visor went on for Killarney return earlier this month, couldn't get by similarly-rated rival who dictated a steady pace over 1m6f. |

Maiden winner over 1m4f at Roscommon and held his own against smart opposition over 1m6f at Galway; still unexposed and canny trainer fits a visor. |

Kept on to score by a neck at Roscommon on debut last month (1m4f, yielding); further improvement likely; big player. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
No promise in handicaps around 2m5f (Martin Pipe at Cheltenham latterly) since joining Dan Skelton; his hurdle form for Willie Mullins came at around 2m, so it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but the yard's other runners hold more obvious claims. |
12/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Failed to complete on his last two runs, falling on final start for Willie Mullins then pulled up in 2m5f handicap when 66-1 for new yard; with those letters next to his name, he cannot be supported confidently in a race of this depth. |
50/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort over hurdles when second in conditions event at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in December; third when falling two out next time; hardly looks thrown in on handicap hurdle debut so probably best watched on first outing for a new yard. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Modest strike-rate over hurdles for one of his ability, hasn't added to Limerick maiden win as a 3yo, albeit some good runs in top company; didn't land a blow in BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham on latest but previous Leopardstown fourth was a solid effort; major claims down in grade here. |
100/30 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Raced freely when 12-1 in this last year and was pulled up; a maiden hurdle in December 2023 remains his last win and he's not been consistent, but such performances as his Flat third in the Cesarewitch (second favourite; plenty went wrong) in October and fourth of 16 in a hot 2m4f handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in December show that he can still be competitive on his day. |

Was hit and miss over hurdles last season but was third in the Cesarewitch back on the level and fourth in 2m4f hurdle here at Christmas; one to consider. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Locally trained dual-purpose mare one of two for yard; off the mark at the second attempt over timber in a 2m3f Cork mares' maiden in April (runner up won twice since); below best on the Flat at Galway in August but remains with considerable potential in this sphere; interesting. |

1m2f winner in France; unplaced all eight runs in stakes races but often ran respectably; bright start for Paul Nolan when fourth in a decent 2m4f Leopardstown mares' maiden hurdle in March; won a Cork maiden hurdle when last seen; a bit to find on these terms. |

9st 13lb |
Won a 1m4f French conditions event (good to soft) on debut last September; struggled in two hurdle starts for Harry Fry and hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for current yard; can only be watched for now; makes handicap debut. |

Won a 1m4f French conditions event (good to soft) on debut last September; struggled in two hurdles starts for Harry Fry, pulled up in a Grade 1 and tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Worcester when last seen in May; makes stable debut here but unlikely to feature. |
