28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 48y |
10st 12lb |
Showed little in maidens or on handicap debut; addition of hood and tongue-tie, allied to a longer trip, did the trick when he won for a 7lb claimer at Bellewstown last month; needs to find extra off 5lb higher with no claim. |

Beaten out of sight in three maiden hurdles at the end of last year; off since December and hard to fancy on the evidence so far. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 8lb |
Two-time winner, both at Fairyhouse; won a 2m (soft) novice handicap off 109 there in December; added a 21.5f handicap (yld-sft) off 122 last month, scoring by 5.5l; 9lb rise for that seems fair; should be competitive again but wouldn't want to see too much rain (well beaten in four previous starts on soft to heavy). |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Sole success came in 2m handicap here in December on soft; followed that up with a solid second over 20.5f (gd-yld) at Leopardstown and just 2lb higher here; struggled at 2m on testing ground the last twice, but interesting now back up in trip at the scene of his only win with Cobden taking over. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Form in maidens was nothing special but took advantage of opening mark of 109 to win his second handicap start at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); solid second when 11-8 favourite in a novice handicap at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding); better than he showed at Navan last time when well beaten; appears to be the pick of the owner's two. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Modest form in point-to-points and maiden hurdles; pulled up after never counting on last month's handicap debut at Down Royal; headgear combination needs to bring serious improvement. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
One of two for yard; had Kool One 3.5l behind when beaten 11l into second of 11 on chase debut at Wexford 44 days ago, despite not jumping fluently at times; may have needed that and cheekpieces might sharpen up his jumping; preferred by O'Keefe. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

119-rated when winning 2m1f Down Royal maiden hurdle at Christmas (yielding); well held in valuable auction series final at Punchestown festival four months later and has had a break since; yard's runners usually expected to improve for the switch fences so greatly respected. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Point winner has had five runs over fences; best form over 2m4f, winning at Puchestown and second to an improving mare at Wexford; reluctant to race last twice, which is a red flag; first try at 3m. |

Hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Punchestown in June but was disappointing in a handicap here next time; better at Kilbeggan since but is rated 10lb below Le Coq Hardi so has work to do. |

Dual-purpose maiden has yet to make an impact in handicap hurdles, hanging badly right on home turn at Wexford last time; hard to be confident in, although Danny Mullins booking a positive. |

An 80-rated Flat winner ran fine races in his first three hurdle attempts last autumn but was poor in a hood at this track when last seen; however, has a chance if restored to best on return; first-string for a yard that had a Punchestown winner. |

Dundalk maiden winner early last year; ran poorly at that venue when well fancied on the strength of three consecutive placed efforts on turf; maiden hurdle form is not particularly compelling; however, the bar is set quite low for his first handicap. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
C&D maiden winner early last year and placed twice here; good chance now based on three consecutive placed efforts on turf; went close over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race); close on the heels of Diamond Exchange and Nakasero when third in 1m3f Naas handicap; again not beaten far over 1m5f at Leopardstown. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y |

Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name but arrives on the back of two fine runs on turf, had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race) and again made plenty of use of when third in 1m3f Naas handicap early this month; definite claims back up in trip. |

Left previous modest efforts behind when staying on to finish 4l second behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Tramore (2m, soft) last November; backed up that promising effort with a third placing in a Cork novice event in January (yielding-to-soft); could feature if showing similar form on better ground after a good break. |

Made a promising handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan in July, chasing clear leader throughout without landing a blow in a 16-runner 2m3f contest (good); Wexford run a fortnight later looked too bad to be true; had dropped out of contention when falling at the last at the same venue last time; questions to answer. |

Very promising handicap hurdle debut last month at Kilbeggan, chasing clear leader throughout without landing a blow in 16-runner 2m3f contest (good); run here a fortnight later (2m4f) too bad to be true; takes a drop in trip and remains of interest. |
