24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
10st 7lb |
Bumper winner; 0-12 over hurdles and rated 112; solid run on the Flat when sixth of 23 at the Curragh in November (1m4f, heavy); this trip may be on the sharp side but each-way possibilities. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
10st 9lb |
Bumper winner is 0-11 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at times in maidens; solid run on the Flat in November (1m4f, heavy) and was a close fifth at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding); not ruled out and this ground may suit better. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of a Fairyhouse bumper on debut in November (yielding); some reasonable efforts in maiden hurdles at around 3m without winning; not so fluent at Kilbeggan last time when fading into second (24.5f, good to yielding); needs a bit more to win and needs to give weight away to most, but one of the leading contenders. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Fairyhouse bumper winner; rating of 113 gives him every chance and he's posted decent efforts at around this trip on his last three starts; obvious chance in first-time blinkers. |

Rated 113; Fairyhouse bumper winner last November; looked short of pace when 10l third over 3m1f at Tipperary and last time when 2.5l second at Punchestown (2m7f); possibilities back up in trip |

Struggled in points and tailed off on rules debut at Kilbeggan; unlikely. |

Idaho gelding is a half-brother to a point-to-point winner; has struggled both starts in that sphere and can only be watched on racecourse debut. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Placed, including behind some useful types, in maidens on nice ground during the summer, with form up to 3m; tailed off in final two starts for Paul Mulligan on winter ground; these conditions will suit him better on stable debut. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Ran out when in the process of running a big race on rules debut in a bumper at this track in May (2m2f, good); has hit the frame in three subsequent maiden hurdle starts; kept on for second behind subsequent Galway winner Strong Link at Tipperary (20.5f, good to yielding); slightly below his best at Galway last time when making some jumping errors (2m6f, good); good chance. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
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. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
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. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise under rules in Ireland for Willie Mullins last year (five runs) and, having changed hands for 1,200gns in the autumn, was pulled up in a maiden point on British debut in January. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Midfield finish on bumper debut at Wexford; tailed off in two of three maiden hurdle runs, okay effort at Downpatrick when a 6.25l fourth of six (2m6f, good), sandwiched between two poor runs; little to recommend him other than the yard he hails from. |
6/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Sent off 2-1 favourite for bumper debut at Wexford when a disappointing 13.5l seventh; tailed off over hurdles here following that (3m, good to yielding); better at Downpatrick last time when a 6.25l fourth; can improve again, but others bring more pressing claims; one of two for trainer. |
