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. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner; had a near-miss when favourite in a Windsor maiden (1m2f) in July but she's been well held in three runs since; this is only her second Flat handicap but she needs improvement back up in trip. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Dual hurdle winner; beaten a short-head in a 1m2f fillies' maiden at Windsor (good to firm, 6-5 favourite) in July; well beaten in a 1m4f Class 3 novice (33-1) latest; opening mark for this handicap debut about right; monitor only. |

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. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
10st 11lb |
Third to smart winner in 2m1f academy hurdle at Cork in October; not as good there following month; made the running when fourth to Goodgollymissholly in Roscommon bumper in July; led most of the way when runner-up at this venue (22.5f, good) last month; sets a good standard; drop in trip is fine. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Runner-up in slow-ground Irish point in the spring but struggled in 2m1f Fontwell novice when back under rules for new stable this month; has more realistic chance at the weights on this handicap debut and remains unexposed but others have much more obvious claims. |

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 at Wexford in July (2m4f, good); raised 6lb and came up short in follow-up bid over C&D next time; made all at Bellewstown (2m2f, good) latest; 5lb rise negated by rider's claim but unproven in the mud. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion over C&D 16 days ago; a 6lb rise for that 5.5l win seems lenient and he may be hard to stop if turning up here in a similar mood. |

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. |
