23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien; pulled up in two hurdle runs for his new stable and hard to know what to expect now back on the Flat. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year; 12-1, pulled up in a Fakenham handicap (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, now removed) on stable debut in March; best watched. |

Hurdles (2m1f, good) and Flat (1m4f, AW) wins for Joseph O'Brien last year but didn't go on under either code; not the appeal of some on stable debut despite stamina to spare at the trip; tongue tie added. |

Finished behind Bridezilla over hurdles on latest; also held by that rival on the evidence of a clash at Limerick in June; subsequently showed a bit more promise by reaching the money in two maidens. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |

Modest Flat performer didn't run that badly in two previous maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Killarney but he's likely to be seen to better effect when tackling handicaps. |

No success in 18 starts for Noel Meade; change of scene did the trick over 1m here in January on first run for this yard, in first-time hood; failed to match that display six weeks ago off new mark. |

Winless in 18 starts for Noel Meade but built on pleasing penultimate run when easily winning over C&D last month on first run for this yard, keen early but allowed to dictate from the front in first-time hood (retained); contender raised 7lb. |

Maiden whose best run came over 7f here last year; has been running over further plus hurdles lately; coming back in trip may help. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 46y |
11st 8lb |
73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens, placed twice; made immediate over hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August; failed to confirm the form of that race with Cinnamon Coco at Down Royal; much more like it when winning at Listowel; clashes for a third time with Joseph O'Brien's runner who may have his measure. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens; made immediate impact upon switch to hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month; disappointing at Down Royal last month when well beaten by rival he had defeated in his maiden victory, albeit he needed to carry a penalty (as he does here); needs to bounce back. |

0-5 on the Flat but off the mark immediately over hurdles at Ballinrobe last time (2m, good); had Cinammon Coco behind him on that occasion off level weights but now must shoulder a penalty. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 16 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
10st 10lb |
Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |
16/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Ran well when a 1.5l runner up in a 3yo Killarney maiden hurdle in July; 3.5l behind Kibris in a Cork maiden in October (15.5f, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten far here (2m3f, sft-hvy) on handicap debut latest; could go well dropped back in trip off the same mark. |

Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |

Runner-up in two juvenile hurdles at Ballinrobe since going close at Limerick in June; has an edge over Faire La Nouba who has been placed on his two most recent Flat starts. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

Fourth over C&D on stable debut before winning on soft ground at Bellewstown in October; well beaten since, but probably needed the run when long way behind Prom Queen at Gowran. |

Second runner for yard; off the mark at the ninth attempt on the Flat at Killarney last month (11.5f, yld-sft); half-sister to the yard's very useful but ill-fated hurdler Common Practice is worth a market check on first start over timber. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 73y |

Maiden has shaped as though her turn was near the last twice at around 1m1f; the step back up to this trip will suit and she wears cheekpieces for the first time; obvious chance. |

4th 11 (5) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Not beaten far after meeting traffic problems at Limerick before strong favourite at Ballinrobe recently, every chance after a trouble-free run when dead-heating for second with stablemate Glenroyal over 9.5f; good chance again here but Glenroyal may have that bit more improvement in him. |

Has run poorly in three maiden starts and failed to leave that form behind on handicap debut at Limerick last time when finishing well back in the field (1m3f, good); cheeckpieces are added to get the best from her but big improvement needed. |
