17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
1m2f French Flat winner who did well for former Irish connections, in victory and defeat over hurdles; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown (soft) and it was only three days later he finished well held under a penalty (same mark here) in the Fred Winter, though that run was better than it looks on paper; this is his first handicap against older opposition and he's very much in the mix. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f French Flat winner; won a maiden hurdle (yielding) in Ireland in October and continued his progress with seconds this winter in a Listed race and Punchestown handicap; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown on Saturday (soft), picking up the penalty that secured his place here; connections strike while the iron is hot and he merits attention, for all that Harry Cobden was aboard at the weekend but not now. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
French Flat winner who scored on hurdle debut at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in October and has continued to run well, finishing a clear second in a 4yo handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January on final outing for Ross O'Sullivan; could have a part to play on stable debut. |

10st 11lb |
Ended last season with a below-par run in a Fairyhouse novice handicap in April (2m, yld-sft); recent maiden winner at Kilbeggan; trainer's Mino Des Mottes is more appealing. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Flat winner is 0-7 over hurdles but has run well in defeat and is rated 116; off since a below par run in a Fairyhouse novice handicap in April (2m, yld-sft); was only beaten 2.5l off 118 in a Listed handicap hurdle at Limerick in December; leading claims if ready after break. |

11st 2lb |
1m4f winner; 0-6 as a hurdler but was third off this mark at Christmas and then ran into the smart Proactif here in January; the concern is his ordinary run last time at Down Royal (maiden). |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
With Denis Hogan when winning a Tramore maiden (2m) in April; followed up on Flat on debut for this trainer and has since been runner-up twice on Flat and a good third of 12 in Class 2 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); unraced beyond that but no way is he ruled out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
With Denis Gerard Hogan when justifying favouritism in a Tramore maiden (2m, good to yielding) in April; joined this trainer the following month for £26,000 and has been kept ticking over on the Flat (form figures 122); noteworthy he's pitched into a Class 2 for GB handicap hurdle debut; interesting. |

8st 13lb |
Signed off in Ireland with a maiden hurdle win; narrowly won over 1m4f at Kempton (AW) on yard debut before chasing home a clearcut winner over C&D; same mark here and could be vulnerable. |

11st 12lb |
A 3yo tackling his elders when coming from off the pace to win over C&D last Christmas (heavy); fortnight later reportedly never travelled in first-time cheekpieces when well held at Navan; back from nine-month absence with a bit to prove. |

Sole Flat start at the Curragh last year was not devoid of promise but the same can't be said of his Killarney hurdles debut, where he finished tailed off (Whats New booked for second in that race before falling); Kennedy jumps ship now. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; placed on all three hurdling starts for current stable, losing out only by a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) on second occasion; not bred for fences and unraced over this far but could be hard to beat in this modest race if his jumping is adequate; hooded for first time. |

0-16 but early days with this yard and he's due a 6lb rise after going down by a short head at Sedgefield ten days ago (2m1f, good); he was clear of the third that day; clear claims. |

Flat winner; 0-15 over hurdles but generally consistent; solid second in Galway Festival handicap hurdle (16.5f, good) on penultimate; another decent run when third back in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown latest (20.5f, gd-yld); rain no issue and thereabouts. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap last year; plenty of solid efforts over hurdles but ran out twice too; fine efforts last twice, notably when second in a 2m Galway handicap; not bred for this trip but a big player if staying; penalised 8lb. |

Sixth of 18 at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) represents her best form; in a top stable and still early days; improvement is not out of the question. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |

Sixth of 18 over hurdles at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) was her best hurdles run, but she didn't build on that at Limerick last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); probably best on a sound surface. |
