9st 8lb |
Best run for Adrian Murray came when placed in Tipperary 2yo maiden (soft); very light campaign in recent years, soundly beaten over 1m4f at Curragh and Tramore this term; hard to fancy. |

Best run for Adrian Murray came in a 2yo maiden at Tipperary (7f, soft) in May 2024; tailed off on debut for this stable at the Curragh last month; others appeal more. |

Maiden; standout effort for former yard a 3l third of 9 in 7f Tipperary maiden (soft) in May 2024; no show in two starts last year and bought by current connections for E3,000 in November; lacks a run and can only be watched. |

11st 7lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle for Gavin Cromwell at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in October and was also on target in 2m2f Flat marathon for new stable in June; still unexposed over jumps; no surprise if he features. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole run on good to firm was last July when tailed off in a novice race; staying-on third here (1m4f) this June and he knuckled down well to score over 2m2f at Pontefract (also on good) eight days later; that win was the first time he'd worn this headgear combination and his first go at a staying trip on the Flat; up 4lb but probably has more to offer and he's a big player if he goes on the ground. |

Tramore 1m4f winner last August and finished the season well with placed efforts in big fields on heavy ground at the Curragh; Sligo second early last month was on very soft ground; prominent all the way before fading into fourth over 1m2f on good ground at Leopardstown last time. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Sole win in eight Flat starts came last time out in 1m4f Roscommon handicap 19 days ago, staying on to beat subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; had two prior hurdle runs at backend of last year and didn't show a huge aptitude but is in better form now and has been gelded; rated 80 on the Flat and could go well. |

1st 4 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 8lb |
Some good efforts in soft-ground handicaps, including seasonal-debut second at Bellewstown (1m3f) when clear of third Obscenity; not at his best at Ballinrobe last time when behind a couple of these. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (13) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
9st 8lb |
Half-brother to Group 1 winner Al Riffa not at same level, although mild promise last summer in Galway handicap and best effort yet on last month's return at Bellewstown when a clear second (third has won since) over just shy of 1m4f (soft), only worn down late; 6lb higher but respected, despite wide draw. |

First reserve; in good form last summer, winning off 12lb lower at Roscommon (1m4f, good) and placing multiple times; below her best on heavy at Listowel and on hurdling debut at Navan when last seen in November; not ruled out back on a sound surface. |

Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |

2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |
