22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden in all spheres after 47 starts; has run well in defeat at times over fences but hard to see him making the breakthrough here; first-time visor. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden in all spheres after 46 starts; has run well in defeat at times over fences; poor over hurdles on return but would have a squeak on his best chase runs of last season. |

Maiden in all categories after 45 races; some of his better runs earlier in his career were over hurdles, placed four times from 18 attempts; a top jockey booked for the trainer's first runner. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Shaped nicely in last three handicap hurdle runs; bumped into a well handicapped rival at Navan last time when a 5.5l second (2m3f, yielding); good chance. |
5/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 7lb |
0-8 over hurdles but has shaped nicely the last twice at Sligo (20.5f, good) and Clonmel (2m4f, good); chance if handles the forecast slower ground (dam won on yld-sft). |
6/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |

Well beaten in two handicap starts over 2m1f after showing little in maidens; took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last October on his first try at this trip; absent since then; market may provide clues. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; bettered his first run for Olly Murphy when 3.5l fourth in a 3m handicap at Wincanton last time (good); has won on soft ground; chance. |

4th 10 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |

Runner-up in this race last year off 91 but remains a maiden; pulled up at Limerick last month; previous Clonmel second much more encouraging so don't rule out off this lowly mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 0lb |
Went close in a Tramore handicap last April; returned to form after a lean spell when 10l second to the in-form Brown Boots at Clonmel a fortnight ago. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |

Went close in a Tramore handicap last April off 6lb higher but no sign of that form since; never a threat in the Tramore event won by Roccabaker. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed only minor promise under rules in Ireland for Willie Mullins last year (five runs) and, having changed hands for 1,200gns in the autumn, was pulled up in a maiden point on British debut in January. |
25/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Midfield finish on bumper debut at Wexford; tailed off in two of three maiden hurdle runs, okay effort at Downpatrick when a 6.25l fourth of six (2m6f, good), sandwiched between two poor runs; little to recommend him other than the yard he hails from. |
6/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Sent off 2-1 favourite for bumper debut at Wexford when a disappointing 13.5l seventh; tailed off over hurdles here following that (3m, good to yielding); better at Downpatrick last time when a 6.25l fourth; can improve again, but others bring more pressing claims; one of two for trainer. |

Yet to win in 13 hurdle starts but some decent efforts in defeat up to this trip; however, has to improve loads from a poor Kilbeggan return. |
16/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Maiden who looks capable of minor success judged on a pair of seconds in handicap hurdles at Clonmel in March and May last year; signed off 2025 with two fair runs in handicap chases; lack of a recent run is a possible negative. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |

Went close in handicap hurdles at this venue in March and May; place chance on that basis; should be better for the experience of his first chase start at Tramore two weeks ago. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Soundly beaten in both his points and the same story on sole chase start under rules in a beginners' at Tramore in October (2m5f, yielding); 0-12 over hurdles but has some placed form this season. |

5th 13 |
13th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

0-12 under rules' but ran one of his best races when a 3.25l third of 15 at Clonmel (2m7f, yielding) last time, running on well from the rear; up 1lb but this is a lower grade and Kennedy now takes the ride. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 1lb |
Won a Wexford handicap hurdle last summer off 78 (2m1f, good); bagged a handicap chase win at Tramore in May (2m6f, good); bounced back from a poor run at Wexford when third of 13 at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); reverts to hurdles now off a 12lb lower mark but was beaten 21l at Wexford when last seen in this sphere. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Bolted up over C&D here in May (Fr Gilligansvoyage second) but pulled up in follow up bid off 5lb higher at Wexford; needs to bounce back but boasts course form figures of 221 so that's not impossible. |
15/2 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Won over hurdles at this meeting last year and added a chase win at Tramore last time over 2m6f; the runner-up then has won since, so should be capable of going well off a 5lb higher mark. |

Winning hurdler is 0-12 over fences; ran okay in handicap chases at Clonmel and Wexford over 2m7f/3m2f earlier this year; well beaten over 2m2f at Galway last time (good); may want it softer. |

Winning hurdler is 0-11 over fences; ran okay in handicap chases over further at Clonmel and Wexford earlier this year but seems best with cut in the ground; beaten 22l on good ground in a handicap hurdle on latest. |

Winner of a Clonmel 2m3f handicap hurdle in February last year (soft) off 6lb higher; fifth of 12 when last seen over hurdles at Limerick in April (2m4f, soft to heavy); creditable efforts over fences twice most recently. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Placed in a 3m hurdle (good) when trained in Ireland; has gone backwards in three starts for her current trainer, both in terms of performance and trip; latest 5lb drop sees her on a handy mark and no surprise if she can take advantage. |
7/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
A long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in October and ran well to a point back there on his stable debut; she never got that competitive back over hurdles this month. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who was a long way clear when falling at the fourth-last fence here (2m5f, good) in October and ran well for a long way before weakening rapidly here (2m5f, good) in November on stable debut; the drop in trip could be just what she needs and she's one to consider back hurdling. |
