2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Not found her best form in 2026 but she's down in the weights and she came good with a pair of Ayr wins on slow ground last autumn; will be more appealing when back down in grade, though. |
12/1 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A two-time winner (at up to 1m7f) last autumn; failed to build on earlier promise when only sixth of eight in 1m5f handicap at Ayr ten days ago; this course winner needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Won twice on slow ground here in the autumn (1m7f/1m5f) but was behind La Tosca and Ebony Maw when keeping-on fourth here (1m7f, soft) last month and the forecast quicker ground today is not ideal. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Seven-race maiden; ought to have coped better with the soft ground when beaten 55l on final start last season and was again tailed off when reappearing on AW last month; now sports first-time tongue-tie and visor; others have much less to prove. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Ayr (1m7f, soft) last September and good third at Musselburgh (2m, good) in October; this lightly raced 4yo is not written off today but it's his first outing since a heavy defeat at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in November, so there are questions to answer. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who was a respectable third at Perth (2m, good) 25 days ago; still lightly raced on the Flat but she's 5lb higher than for her win here (1m5f, soft) last autumn and not sure this drop back to 1m2f will suit; others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Four C&D wins, the most recent when justifying favouritism from 2lb higher in May 2025; Flat winner since (last September); reportedly never travelling when only fifth of 12 (Ravenscraig Castle third) here on latest start. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Won off 2lb lower over 1m5f (good) here in May 2025; below best twice since promising seasonal reappearance at Roscommon but the drop to 0-60 company could spark a revival. |
18/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Best on good ground and shaped nicely on seasonal return over 1m4f (good) at Roscommon when a 2.5l second; failed to fire at Ballinrobe on latest but didn't get her ground; could rebound on this more suitable surface. |
12/1 |
|
11th 16 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |

Started last season brightly with three placed efforts before a 1m5f Navan win; has also begun this season on a positive note when runner-up at Roscommon; only one win from 22 starts (along with six seconds); worth considering if getting a run; second reserve. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has several pieces of placed form (Flat/hurdles) for current yard but his losing sequence is mounting up; not the percentage call in this competitive affair. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Bounced back to form when gaining a first Flat win on his third run for this yard over C&D last month in first-time blinkers, successful by 10l; hefty 12lb hike for that but interesting if headgear continues to work; just second over hurdles here on Thursday. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 for John McConnell; came back to form in first-time blinkers to easily win on the Flat here over 1m4f last time; has to be respected back hurdling assuming the blinkers have the desired effect again. |
13/8 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Flat maiden; won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 when with John McConnell; down the field in two runs for this stable; seemed to be well fancied for a similar race to this at Roscommon on the first occasion; blinkered now after a poor hurdle run. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden; seems to stay 1m6f and is better than she showed than when 7.5l fourth at Thirsk last time (1m4f, soft); could go well. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden; tailed off at Southwell last time (1m6f; not the best of runs) but two fair runs over 1m6f at Yarmouth (good) and over 1m4f at Wolverhampton prior to that; place chance. |
6/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 3lb |
3yo who has been consistent across her last three starts (including on Tapeta), finishing third of five at Yarmouth (1m6f, good) last month; needs something extra today but is lightly raced and might not be far away. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Finished third behind Perseus Way in this race 12 months ago and he is rated 5lb lower this time around; comes here on the back of three solid efforts, including a 1m5f win at Ayr, and holds each-way claims again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good and has a couple of heavy-ground wins to his name; 0-13 here but has gone close more than once and arrives in form, having responded well to a switch to front-running at Ayr last month; leading claims upped 2lb. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner; on a losing run of 17 but was seemingly perked up by refitted cheekpieces when third here (1m7f, soft; just behind La Tosca) last month and competes off another career-low mark today. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

7th 11 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
