31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 14y |
9st 9lb |
8yo has won this race for the past two years on soft and yielding ground; soundly beaten in both starts in handicaps this term, but connections have likely targeted this race and could make a bold bid. |

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. |

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. |

12th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y |

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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly stiff tasks since arrival in Britain but disappointing even so, posing zero threat in the Summer Hurdle latest; hard to entertain despite this easier grade, and winless on sound turf surfaces also. |
20/1 |

10th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 2lb |
132-rated hurdler, although only a maiden win to his name, and decent stayer on the Flat as well, third in last season's Cesarewitch; has been hard to place over hurdles, front-running sixth over 2m6f at Galway last time; not bred for this game and stiff task on chasing debut. |
8/1 |

6th 6 |
1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 4lb |
Is 1-12 over hurdles; well beaten back on the Flat at Royal Ascot last time; needs a return to best hurdle form but can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Poor strike-rate (two maiden wins) in Flat and hurdling spheres and he went the wrong way in his latest hurdles campaign; however, he ran well in two major Flat handicaps last season, including when third to Beylerbeyi in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher today but 7lb claimer Harry Vigors is booked; like so many, he has each-way hopes. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't won since landing premier handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good); remains 6lb above that last success but shaped as though coming back to form at the Curragh on latest and ran well at this meeting in 2023 and 2024; could go well. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (14) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No joy since winning over 1m2f here (good) in September 2024; didn't fire last season and no sign of a revival in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in sole run this year; remains 3lb above last success. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up. |

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. |

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. |
