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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

10st 5lb |
Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal in January; pulled up at Thurles on his final start for the now-retired Des McDonogh; 10lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display. |

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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 8lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on return from a break in May last year (2m1f, good) and second in similar event after; yielding to soft ground unlikely to his liking when always behind at Thurles when last seen in Nov'; not discounted. |

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. |

Had modest strike-rate when based in Ireland but belied 40-1 odds when very respectable third on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and has possibilities if able to build on that performance. |
