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 Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Back-to-back winner on AW at 1m4f/2m earlier this year; also notched Tramore win off much lower turf mark in August; backed that up off 10lb higher when second in a 2m1f amateur race at Clonmel last month; got another 2lb for that, claimer back aboard now. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
11st 11lb |
Back-to-back winner on AW at 1m4f/2m earlier this year; back from 185-day break when gaining second career turf win in style at Tramore (2m, good to yielding) four weeks ago; raised 10lb but will be tough to beat if he runs to a similar level. |
11/8 |

1st 7 (4) |
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. |

Flat winner is 0-16 over hurdles but has run well in defeat at times; never a factor on return/stable debut three weeks ago at Down Royal. |

10th 12 |
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 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 77y |

C&D second on soft a year ago; quite consistent but only 1-30 on the Flat, placed seven times; every chance of being in the money. |

|
6th 5 (15) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in this race last year off this mark; eyecatching efforts on both recent starts, at Sligo and when coming from way back to finish fourth behind Miss Australie at Navan last week; looks primed for a bold repeat bid. |

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. |
50/1 |

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

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. |
12/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |

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. |
