22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't added to 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win of last summer, albeit highly-tried on occasions, notably second in Group 3 at Newmarket; just three runs this term when well below best, second occasion in C&D conditions event in May; makes handicap debut off reduced mark but opposable. |

Last of three Flat wins for Jessica Harrington was off 84 last summer; was having her eighth hurdles start when making the breakthrough in a Wexford handicap in May; failed to back that up at Listowel. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Latest of three Flat wins for Jessica Harrington was off 84 last summer; improved of late over hurdles; mild promise when sixth at Bellewstown and then 22-1, dropped in grade to beat geldings at Wexford; needs proper good ground and trainer admits she's unpredictable. |

One of two for trainer; three-time Flat winner for Jessica Harrington on good/good to firm; moderate hurdles form for new yard, but her sixth of ten at Bellewstown last time was not her worst effort; in this lower grade for first time. |

Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |

Flat/hurdle form for Dermot Weld earns respect but left that yard for £4,000 and was down the field on yard debut in last week's Northumberland Vase (2m, AW). |

Stays 1m6f; two Flat wins include a Polytrack handicap at Dundalk in January 2025; went the wrong way last summer/autumn, including over hurdles, and this is his first run since leaving Dermot Weld for £4,000 in April. |

Dual Flat winner over 1m4f ran to a similar level in maiden hurdles at Galway and Listowel; was 13l behind Louiescall on latter occasion so has ground to make up on him with others to worry about too. |

9st 6lb |
Record of 1-9 on Flat with the win coming at Navan last June (1m6f, good) off 73; good hurdler and added a fourth win in that sphere at Killarney last time; not discounted. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Flat winner got his third hurdles win under this rider at Navan in September (2m, yielding) off 9lb lower; 1l behind Wholelotofbusiness when fourth at Down Royal in November (worse off at weights now); another positive effort when second back at Navan (2m, soft to heavy) when last seen in November. |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |

Dual-purpose; 3-15 over hurdles; scored at Navan (2m, yielding) on his last start in this sphere; raised 7lb and moves up in grade; needs a career best but the way he won at Navan suggested there could be more to come; chance. |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

C&D winner last summer during a spell of good form (Flat and hurdles); unplaced in two runs on Flat since a fair sixth at 100-1 in a valuable Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in April; one place behind Putapoundinthejar then. |
14/1 |

11st 12lb |
Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground. |
100/30 |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; the best of these over hurdles (rated 143); no impact on first three starts for this yard in hot handicap hurdles; well beaten on sole previous chase start at Cork when with Gavin Cromwell but this much easier; wouldn't want it too soft. |
11/8 |

16th 7 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins apiece on the Flat and over hurdles during his time with Gavin Cromwell but well beaten in a big-field handicap on the Flat and over hurdles (behind a few of these at Dublin Racing Festival) since joining current yard; the refitting of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
1m2f French Flat winner who did well for former Irish connections, in victory and defeat over hurdles; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown (soft) and it was only three days later he finished well held under a penalty (same mark here) in the Fred Winter, though that run was better than it looks on paper; this is his first handicap against older opposition and he's very much in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
11th 20 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f French Flat winner; won a maiden hurdle (yielding) in Ireland in October and continued his progress with seconds this winter in a Listed race and Punchestown handicap; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown on Saturday (soft), picking up the penalty that secured his place here; connections strike while the iron is hot and he merits attention, for all that Harry Cobden was aboard at the weekend but not now. |
18/1 |

1st 1 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |

French Flat winner who scored on hurdle debut at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in October and has continued to run well, finishing a clear second in a 4yo handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January on final outing for Ross O'Sullivan; could have a part to play on stable debut. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 4lb |
Capable under both codes, both Flat wins coming in 1m6f Killarney handicaps, last summer off 72 before good second at Newmarket (2m2f); Curragh comeback run in late May was poor but more expected of here. |
6/1 |
|
24th 15 (12) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. |
15/1 |
|
7 (1) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat. |
