19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |
11st 11lb |
Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

Four wins on the Flat; relatively unexposed over hurdles; however, recent attempts have been unconvincing. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; made a fine start for his new stable when winning a Class 5 1m4f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago, drawing clear with an unexposed rival despite a steady pace; not missed with a 7lb rise but not out of the question he will kick on again. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 on the Flat but he won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April on his final start for Denis Hogan; has since been purchased for £26,000 and makes his stable/AW debut for a yard that does well with new recruits; market should be informative. |
5/2 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
10st 0lb |
Sole success came in Ballinrobe (9.5f, good) claimer last summer; never out of the three in last four handicap starts over a variety of trips; appreciated return to good ground when beaten 1.5l by Fianna three days ago at Roscommon; extra two furlongs no problem and big chance if backing up quickly. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (14) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |

Sole success came in a 9.5f Ballinrobe claimer last summer; stays this far and should be sharper for latest modest third at Galway but probably hasn't got much in hand off current mark. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (14) |
31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 14y |
10st 0lb |
Won Ballinrobe claimer last summer; finished the season with second over 2m at Dundalk; absent since an early-season Navan run, fair third in a 1m2f event on heavy; longer trip and better ground should help her cause. |

Turf winner is 0-4 on the AW; has failed to fire in handicaps (including over C&D) since second in a Sligo claimer in August; others make more appeal. |

AW winner in 2022; in moderate form over jumps before finishing last back on the Flat here 20 days ago; 7f would have been inadequate but still has serious questions to answer. |

16th 8 (6) |

21st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 135y |

No impact in maidens but strung together three decent handicap efforts including a 0.5l second at Down Royal (10.5f, good) off 62 on penultimate; below par at Navan off revised mark latest; more needed back in a maiden. |

9st 9lb |
First reserve; runner up in three of last four starts; chased home Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe on latest (9.5f, good); remains 7lb above sole success so needs to find a bit extra to get his head back in front; place chance. |
|
|
2nd 4 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 7lb |
In good form this season without winning; just touched off over this trip at Gowran and a close second over 1m3f at Naas; needs to bounce back after a below-par effort at Killarney last week but every chance that he will; cheekpieces tried. |
13/2 |

1m1f Leopardstown winner last year for his previous yard; recent seconds at Gowran and Naas have been over longer trips than this; holds a definite chance all the same; Oisin Murphy booked. |

Heavy-ground winner at Gowran (1m1f) a year ago so rain would be welcomed and it was a solid enough run over 1m2f at the Curragh most recently; versatile trip-wise and considered. |

Maiden ran well when a 3.75l fourth of 16 at Roscommon in May for this rider but hasn't backed that up; beaten 15l when down the field at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good) on latest. |

Dual-purpose maiden ran her best race at Roscommon last month when fourth of 16 (1m4f, yielding to soft); unseated on her second hurdles start at Ballinrobe next time and well beaten at Down Royal back on the level over 2m last time; this trip suits better. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (15) |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose maiden didn't get beyond the first (swerved and unseated) at Ballinrobe on Tuesday; previous Roscommon Flat third under today's rider was a solid run so don't rule out. |
