29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 4lb |
Made good start in the autumn, winning the first academy hurdle (Cork) and following up in 2m1f maiden here (heavy); better form on quicker ground when third in 2m Fairyhouse 4yo contest and when fifth of 22 in Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month in first-time cheekpieces; tries a new trip here and a contender if staying. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
This dual winner (on good/soft to heavy) has had his limitations laid bare the last twice, though they were classy juveniles he bumped into last time at Fairyhouse and that was probably his best performance (he didn't look out of his comfort zone deep into the race); legendary Irish trainer Jessica Harrington rarely brings one over without a degree of optimism; cheekpieces added. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Dual hurdle winner, latterly in a low-grade handicap in July; subsequently made the frame on her first two Flat starts (1m2f/1m4f, turf/AW) but that form is below the standard required here; usual cheekpieces left off. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around 2m and she went close on her Flat debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 6-5) three weeks ago; the winner has since been beaten in a handicap but this filly is open to progress in this sphere, particularly now stepping up in trip. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two minor hurdle wins at about 2m, the latest this month off a mark of 100; has something to prove in a maiden but she is bred for the Flat and this is uncompetitive; not ruled out for stable that is going well with Oisin Murphy booked (0-6 for the yard). |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
10st 9lb |
Third to a smart winner in 2m1f academy hurdle at Cork last October; not as good in similar contest following month; made the running when fourth to Goodgollymissholly in Roscommon bumper last month; fitter for that and tongue-tie goes on; chance if longer trip suits. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |

Yeats filly kept on to take third in the dying strides of a Cork academy hurdle (2m2f, good); perhaps unsuited by softer conditions back there next time when tailed off; big player here with top rider aboard. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 70y |

Fourth foal; dam French 1m5f Flat/2m1f chase winner, a sibling to plenty of Flat and jumps winners in France; by a quality sire, notably of fillies; was a Eur9,000 vendor buyback as a foal; the sole runner for the Champion trainer so warrants plenty of respect. |

Never far from the pace in an academy maiden hurdle at Cork on debut, faded into fourth behind the very useful Quinto Do Lago after a bad mistake at the last; failed to build on that when tailed off at Down Royal in March; stable in superb form on the Flat. |

Second foal; brother to 1m7f hurdle winner Turn And Finish; dam ran once in bumper, half-sister to 12.5f Listed Flat and smart 2m hurdle winner Sir Erec, out of unraced sister to 2m Group 3 winner/St Leger runner-up Mahler; by a useful NH sire and comes from a quality dual-purpose damline; one to note for top yard. |

10st 10lb |
Rated 95 after five runs over hurdles; maiden form modest but beaten a neck off 92 in a Tramore handicap hurdle (16.5f, good) on latest; a repeat of that would give her a chance back in maiden company. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 80y |

Modest form in maidens and his third on handicap bow at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good) was a remote one; just 1lb lower now and will need more dropped back in distance. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Okay run in opening academy hurdle last year when fifth behind the useful Quinta Do Lago at Cork (2m2f, good); heavy ground was a possible excuse at Punchestown next time; got loose before the start in maiden company at Downpatrick in May when tailed off; may do better now in handicaps. |

Irish trainer 14-51 with Flat runners brought over, which entitles this 4yo to some respect; it's hard to find any other positives, though, with him yet to get involved in a finish under either code; the market will likely tell a tale. |

Gained breakthrough win in decisive fashion at Wexford last month (2m4f, good); raised 6lb and came up short in follow-up bid over the same C&D; this is a stronger race so work to do off the same mark. |

250-1 academy hurdle winner for Richard Morrissey; form otherwise poor but has joined a shrewd yard ahead of handicap debut and notable that trainer rides (2-5 this season, 12-27 last season); market check advised on return from six month break. |

Became one of the longest priced winners in Irish racing history when winning a Naas academy hurdle at 250-1 last month (2m1f, soft to heavy); had been tailed off in his opening two runs, but kept on nicely for his win; remains to be seen whether he can repeat the trick. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Hooded since looking tricky on his debut; the ground was yielding when he displayed a good turn of foot to edge out Ole Ole in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas and he was too free for his own good when strong in the betting for a Grade 2 here on Trials Day (soft); a combination of the expected good to soft ground and a bigger-field scenario heightens interest in this Flat bred; needs a close look. |

Looked far from straightforward on his debut but has improved for the hood and arrived on the scene travelling strongly at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) before digging deep to edge out a solid yardstick with the pair nicely clear; the form of that maiden has taken some knocks but he's on an upward curve; much respected. |
