25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
8st 13lb |
Four-time winner over shorter trips and only just denied over 2m at Thurles on final start last season; recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out. |

Only had two runs over hurdles, last time winning a maiden on good ground at Tramore (first-time hood); good and bad on the Flat since then; lacks jumping experience for a race of this nature. |

9st 6lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (also chase winner); 0-22 on Flat; fair placed form last season, though beaten 11l when third in this race 12 months ago; needs to step up on this term's outings at Gowran and Limerick. |
12/1 |

Three-time hurdles winner (also chase winner) is 0-21 on the Flat but went close over this trip at Thurles last autumn off today's mark; can't rule out. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Two wins last season, both of them under today's rider and the second of which arrived over C&D (yielding); creditable enough seasonal return off 9lb higher at Navan when a 5.5l eighth of 20, shaping as though he would improve for the run; in the mix. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Two wins last season, both gained at the main expense of members of this field; edged out God The Highness at Sligo; ended the campaign with a 1m6f Curragh victory over Quiz Test; 9lb higher now, same apprentice claiming 7lb. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark when making much of running over slightly shorter at Sligo in August and pick of two runs since when non-staying fourth to Grann's Boy over 2m1f at Thurles last week; drop back in trip here should suit. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 160y |
11st 12lb |
Two Flat wins in Germany early in his career, and Listed-placed; can be rated a possible future hurdles winner based on Punchestown fifth last month on handicap debut; slight reservation now on account of a suspicion that he might prefer a longer trip. |
3/1 |

12st 0lb |
3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

Maiden point winner in March (3m, soft), but a 20-race maiden under rules; last of two finishers at Pusk on latest point start; stiffer task here. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Out of form over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland last year; caused 16-1 surprise in point at Hutton Rudby (3m, soft) last month, her third start for this stable, but was safely held on next outing; not easy to predict on chase debut. |

10st 0lb |
The latest of her five wins came over 1m4f at Roscommon in May; unseated early next time and 1m1.5f looked too short last time at Gowran; has to rebound. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Notched third turf win at Roscommon (1m4f, gd) two starts ago, beating Makaiah by 2.25l; stumbled and unseated early lto at Fairyhouse; needs more from career-high mark. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |
