14th 20 (16) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Placed in a bumper at Perth in 2024; never in the first four in 13 Flat starts, fair sixth of 12 at Fairyhouse on latest, not far behind La Campanella and Famous Enough. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 160y |

Yet to make an impact in nine Flat handicaps; sixth over 1m2f here but tailed off at Down Royal next time; unlikely to be the answer. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
9/1 |

8th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Back-to-back winner on AW at 1m4f/2m earlier this year and didn't run badly back there when last seen in February (2m); 1-13 on turf and rated 21lb lower on this surface; second off 1lb higher at Tipperary in August last year, but poor at Down Royal next time when last seen on turf. |

5th 8 (5) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Added his second course win in December when making virtually all over 1m4f and made light work of a 6lb rise when comfortably scoring over C&D last time, with Black Gem 3l behind; hit with a 7lb hike, but he may not be finished improving. |

1st 3 (1) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |

Dual course winner at 1m4f, including on latest when making virtually all to score under this rider, with Power Of Prayer back in fifth; first crack at 2m so has stamina to prove. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |
11st 1lb |
Flat winner is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat at times; out of form on the level when last seen in October and overall record fresh suggests he might need this on first start for new yard. |
28/1 |

17th 16 (13) |
22nd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y |

Both wins have been on soft including this race two years ago when with Charles Byrnes; much lower mark nowadays and just okay runs of late; more needed. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 4f 46y |

First reserve; two-time soft ground winner but on a long losing run; not the worst effort at Bellewstown latest and he's on a dangerous mark; could go well if getting a run. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |
10/1 |

6th 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 165y |
11st 3lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |
9/2 |
|
6th 6 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

Sole win came off 1lb lower at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last September; close third behind Anightaway and Eastern Wind at Sligo on latest and his good run over 1m5f here in June wasn't his first solid effort at this track (fourth in this last year); chance. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 145y |
11st 12lb |
One win from 26 attempts on the Flat gives him a rating in that sphere of 50; he wasn't far away at Down Royal but lesser efforts in two runs since; makes hurdles debut now and hard to see him winning. |

Dual hurdle winner has also won twice over fences including a Listed handicap at Killarney in 2024; some good runs in defeat after and is now just 2lb higher than that mark; mostly below form on the Flat and over hurdles this year but not ignored. |

Maiden ran well in turf handicaps last year but well below that level in two tries on the AW to date; still lightly raced but percentage call is to oppose. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 194y |

Mild promise in maidens; best handicap run was a staying on third (second won at Roscommon on Monday) over 1m4f at Cork last time in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination; blinkers replace cheekpieces now; one to consider. |

Enjoying a fine season; back to back 1m5f wins here (good) and at Down Royal (soft) earlier this summer; went up 11lb and only fifth behind a couple of these at Sligo in hat-trick bid on latest; more needed off 1lb lower. |

7yo has hit a rich vein of form this year; no worse than third in six starts and on a hat-trick after hard-fought wins over this trip at Navan and Down Royal; ground-versatile. |
