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 |

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. |

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. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
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). |

Flat winner; has made the frame in all five starts over timber; third to the useful Quinta Do Lago in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November; another positive run in a Listed Limerick handicap hurdle; 12l fourth behind Proactif (beaten favourite for the Triumph) at Fairyhouse two months ago. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; made a fine start for his new stable when winning a Class 5 1m4f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago, drawing clear with an unexposed rival despite a steady pace; not missed with a 7lb rise but not out of the question he will kick on again. |

1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 on the Flat but he won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April on his final start for Denis Hogan; has since been purchased for £26,000 and makes his stable/AW debut for a yard that does well with new recruits; market should be informative. |

Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

Ran once at two; tailed off on hurdles debut at Killarney; much better when fourth at Gowran ten days ago, but will need to show further improvement. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 60y |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; limited on the Flat (0-9; peak RPR 69), and yet to convince over hurdles (0-5; pulled up at Ballinrobe in May); difficult to know what to expect on first start for this trainer following 6,000gns purchase. |

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

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. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

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. |
3/1 |

13-race maiden over hurdles; easily held by a couple of these in maiden hurdles; unseated when still with a chance at Ballinrobe last week; Darragh O'Keeffe booked ,but needs to find a bit more to land this. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 157y |

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. |
