13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive handicapper this year, winning premier handicap over C&D in June and won at Gowran last month over same trip; well-backed but didn't seem to stay (keen) in 1m6f Ebor on latest when cheekpieces tried (now left off); upped in grade here and needs to improve. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; narrow win at the Curragh in June and he's continued the good work with his never-nearer fourth of 18 at the Galway festival and a more decisive win at Gowran Park ten days ago; they were all over about 1m4f (unraced beyond that on Flat) but 1m6f makes appeal and first-time cheekpieces might sharpen him up, including in the early stages; better is needed under his penalty but he's one to consider. |

Had been jumping before returning to the Flat with a narrow 1m4f win at the Curragh in June; gave a solid display off revised mark when fourth of 18 over the same trip in a valuable Galway festival event. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Useful Flat racer who was placed in good-quality Newbury novice (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March, having travelled well for a long way; kept on far too strongly for Willie Mullins-trained rival when winning over C&D (good) last month; the one to beat. |

11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has shown some useful form on the Flat and was placed in a good-quality Newbury novice (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March, having travelled strongly for a long way; had wind op in May; needs to be taken very seriously. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |
10st 13lb |
Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and had a massive payday in last season's Irish Cesarewitch; down the field in three big handicap hurdles between late November and April; not much luck when unplaced favourite for the Chester Cup; flopped when well-fancied for the Ascot Stakes; questions to answer but could not be ruled out. |
7/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and took a huge prize for Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) last September, in the latter bursting clear 1f out and scoring with considerably more authority than the margin suggests; underwhelming over hurdles before last month's Chester Cup, in which he also had the widest draw, but he started favourite nevertheless and made some headway from the back to finish seventh of 15; he didn't have the rub of the green that day and is shortlisted even though connections also now resort to headgear. |
6/1 |

7th 10 (17) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
One of three for Joseph O'Brien; won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and also took a huge prize for last September's Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding); underwhelming in his three handicap hurdles in November-April, which is a concern, as is today's widest stall, but his Curragh win (bursting clear 1f out) was delivered with considerably more authority than the winning margin suggests; respected. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
C&D maiden winner; 1m6f win (good) at Navan on seasonal reappearance in April off 91; below par in three runs since but is now 1lb lower than for that last victory; return to AW might spark a revival. |
15/2 |

4th 3 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 11lb |
Made winning seasonal debut over 1m6f at Navan in April; below-form when favourite at Cork for 1m4f event won by Ascending; tailed off behind the same horse in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; has won over 1m4f and 1m2f. |
10/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Most starts on good ground, unraced on firmer; lightly raced 5yo who had 282 days off before emerging from off the pace to win narrowly at Navan (1m6f) in April; below-form favourite behind Ascending at Cork (1m4f) six weeks ago but going beyond 1m6f for the first time is interesting and he holds possibilities if that latest run is forgiven. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 7lb |
Gained first win since 2023 with good attitude shown at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) 32 days ago, defeating Truth Be Told by a neck; raised 6lb and probably not guaranteed to back that up but did run well over C&D last year. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 10lb |
No win since 2023; big chance off this mark on best runs over 1m6f/1m4f last season and though well beaten in both runs this term, they were over an inadequate trip; this distance much more suitable and Colin Keane takes over; interesting. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 13lb |
Last year's winner has dropped to 4lb below that winning mark following some poor runs in the interim; but has also run with credit, including when keeping on for a 4.25l fourth at Galway on his penultimate run; not ruled out back to the scene of his victory. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner; shaped quite well at the Curragh three runs back (1m2f); badly hampered at the same venue in race won by Fleetfoot; stayed on from off the pace in Galway event in which Fleetfoot was fourth; may get closer. |

Exposed five-time winner who was quite eyecatching at the Curragh two runs back (1m2f) and met with further trouble in Fleetfoot's race back there a month ago; has a tricky draw to contend with. |
