15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f, good to yielding); made a cracking return to action in May when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good); has disappointed as favourite in two runs since at the Curragh (2m1f, good to firm) and at Leopardstown in a five-runner conditions event (1m7f, good, 4-6); capable of more. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f); cracking run on seasonal return in big field 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in May; latest run over 2m back there disappointing (cheekpieces tried then are discarded) but capable of better, is rated 91 and Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 6lb |
1m4f Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (gd-yld); promising seasonal reappearance here 33 days ago, staying on for a 5.5l fourth of 24 over 1m6f (2l behind Kilmeaden in third); well worth a go at this trip on that evidence and mark unchanged; cheekpieces added. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |
7/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Some decent runs in defeat when trained in UK; got off the mark on debut for this yard when winning a 1m4f Roscommon maiden; the third that day has since won a maiden; handled soft on debut and is one to consider. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Sole win in nine Flat starts came in 1m4f (good) maiden at Tramore a year ago; gambled on, narrow 0.75l second on stable debut in Chester Plate in May off 86; ran to similar level at Galway last time; could be a nice hurdling prospect. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good first effort for this yard when narrowly denied in the Chester Plate (18.5f, good); led and weakened into ninth of 24 off this mark in a Curragh handicap on latest (1m6f, good); drops in trip now and cheekpieces go on; favourable draw. |
14/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; hinted there was a bigger performance in him when placed in first three maiden hurdles, one over this C&D (yielding) and twice at Naas on softer ground; duly delivered the goods on handicap debut, winning the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, gd-sft) by 2.25l off 130; steps into Grade 1 company for the first time and very much respected. |
5/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Six Flat runs for Aidan O'Brien, best form at 1m6f/2m; jumping was ropey in his first two defeats over hurdles but that part of his game improved when a rallying second in a rated hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) that has delivered four of the last seven winners of this race; probably peaking at the right time when this has all the hallmarks of a long-term plan; seems versatile ground-wise; lots to like. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 158y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy (rated 92); promising hurdles debut when never-nearer third (3.25l behind Minella Boss) at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and probably similar level of form in C&D maiden last month, still novicey in jumping; gives the impression improvement likely given better jumping. |

9st 3lb |
Rated 72 after five starts on turf at 9.5f to 1m6f on a variety of ground; was due to run in a C&D claimer last week but was off feed; place chance on best form if handling this surface. |
7/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |

Solid efforts in defeat in maidens over shorter but has been getting outpaced late on; could find improvement up in trip on handicap debut but needs to. |
