3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
The best of these over hurdles with a mark of 147 but has yet to prove himself as effective over fences, as he was no match for Frankie John at Galway and then faded out disappointingly at Killarney, albeit in a good race; has to raise his game. |

Nine wins in all spheres with the last of those coming in a Thurles handicap chase last December; poor the last twice over hurdles including behind Happy Jacky at Cork; has to rebound |

Flat winner who is now useful over hurdles and fences; runner-up over 2m4f at Clonmel before not staying 3m at Cork; exposed but shouldn't be far away. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 5lb |
Found things too demanding in the Grand Annual, and has been campaigned ambitiously overall since a Fairyhouse beginners' win last October; will be more at home in this company. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Won on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in October and very creditable second in quality novice over this C&D (good to soft) 13 days later; well beaten both starts since but they have been on testing ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now he's back on a better surface. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
11st 10lb |
Won a valuable Galway festival handicap hurdle last year (2m1f, good) off 2lb lower and last win was in Limerick handicap chase (2m2f, soft) in March; only mid-division in this year's renewal of Galway contest latest and has never gone this far. |

Won this last year off a 3lb lower mark; some good hurdle runs in defeat after while also won over fences; beaten 10l by Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time but is 7lb better off so a player. |

Handicap chase winner three starts ago; won a big handicap hurdle at last season's Galway festival; probably Ballybrit-bound again; Fiver Friday appears to be the stable's main hope. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
11st 0lb |
Had a lot of Flat racing, winning only twice but in good form this year; maiden hurdle winner and capable of better than he showed in his latest run over jumps when tailed off in a Ballinrobe handicap in May; some stamina doubts over this far. |
10/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
8st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until staying-on third at Tramore (2m); moderate run over 1m4f next time before beaten a neck in Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (18.5f, good) 12 days ago; the winner followed up at Musselburgh on Saturday; big player. |

Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until signs of a return to form when a staying-on third over 2m at Tramore; confidence dented by a moderate run over 1m4f on Monday. |

11st 12lb |
Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |
9/2 |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |

Dual-purpose winner won his last hurdle race over C&D last October; ran a solid race from the front to be third to Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time; 3lb better off and cheekpieces added; chance. |

Fifth behind Malbay Madness at Downpatrick last month; should be sharper for the run, his first since signing off a good spell of form with a narrow Galway win last autumn. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
10st 1lb |
Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; never sighted on recent Flat return at Roscommon, but notable jockey booking here so has to be worth a market check. |

Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; returns to the Flat in a first-time visor; others arrive in better form. |
