18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front runner; 2-8 over hurdles and returns to this discipline off a good mark having completed a hat-trick over fences three weeks ago off 4lb higher; has found his best form since joining this yard in January and this track should suit him well. |
10/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Front-running 7yo who brings impressive stats, being 3-5 since joining new yard, 3-4 since dropped to 2m and wearing cheekpieces, 2-2 since returned to chasing (Perth double) and 3-3 under Oakley Brown; should make another bold bid, despite taking a 9lb hike for latest win. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bounced back to form with hurdle win in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue-tie in March, his second start for Adrian Keatley, and made all over C&D (good to soft) when back over fences last month; obvious contender. |

10st 6lb |
Has improved since finishing third at the Listowel festival, splitting Jasko De Dames and Drumgill; recorded his third chase win at Navan in December; up in grade here following a 9lb rise in the ratings; handles testing conditions. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
10st 12lb |
Got his second chasing win when taking a C&D handicap in August by a short head (good), probably value for more (idled and rider misjudged finish line); raised to current mark for run at Listowel and not disgraced when a keeping on third (17.5f, yielding to soft); one of the likelier contenders. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Regressed over hurdles but got off the mark in a C&D beginners race on only her second run over fences; however, was well held in a Killarney handicap only last week. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Regressive maiden over hurdles but showed much improved form to get off the mark on second chase start at Wexford over about 2m4f; tougher task on handicap debut but is open to improvement. |

Weak chase form over the past 12 months and holds a modest hurdles rating; beaten 15l in a Sligo claimer last time (2m2f, good); veteran faces a stiff task once again. |

Second runner for yard; hurdle and chase winner has been regressive in both those spheres since last autumn; blinkers replace the visor worn last time; needs to turn a corner. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
12st 0lb |
Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Just 1-19 over hurdles but has been consistent in defeat lately, at Clonmel and twice at Wexford; the blinkers are new and he can be involved again. |
5/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Won over C&D in May last year and second in a similar event next time off 99; decent C&D third last time (good) and should be in the mix again. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Off the mark over C&D in May last year (good) and second in similar event subsequently off 99; recent Clonmel comeback run should have brought him on and one for the shortlist. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Last year's win (good-to-yielding) in this came off 87 and later scored over hurdles at Limerick on heavy; twice runner-up in handicap chases last winter on heavy, below best of late on better ground; ground concerns again here. |

Won a Kilbeggan handicap chase (2m4f, good to yielding) in July last year off 87; runner-up on heavy ground at Clonmel and Limerick at 2m/2m2f before a lesser effort back at Limerick last time (2m4f, good to yielding); capable of better. |

11st 5lb |
Improved for the switch to chasing; survived a mistake four out on his way to winning at Sligo in October (2m5f, good to yielding); not as good next time when fifth from 5lb higher at Thurles; needed the run on return last year. |

Last couple of runs not her best but she's been runner-up four times in handicaps, including over C&D in March; would probably prefer easier terrain. |
