1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden winner on the Flat last year (good) coped well with testing conditions on seasonal return when second at Naas but form petered off afterwards; back from a break however in good form to score on hurdles debut for new yard in Cork maiden last month on good ground, travelling well to win with a fair bit to spare (second beaten favourite since); should go well. |

Maiden winner last year ran well in defeat many times after up to 1m1f; could go well on hurdles bow; this yard also houses the horse who beat Bridezilla at Ballinrobe last time so market strength would be a pointer. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien; 0-4 over hurdles for that yard but came good on stable debut (same ownership) with a narrow win over 2m here last month (good to soft); he would have won easier but for a late mistake; there are some stamina concerns over quite this far. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat winner at the start of his career but failed to progress in juvenile hurdles last season after a promising start; also well held back on the Flat at the Curragh six weeks ago (final start for Joseph O'Brien); more than capable of making his presence felt in a race like this if putting his best foot forward but starts out for a new yard (same owners) with a point to prove. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Looked potentially smart when landing C&D maiden in November 2024; didn't reach heights expected in four starts in Group, conditions and handicap company last season but had a couple of good runs over hurdles in recent months; acts on soft and big-field handicap could be right up his street. |

10st 7lb |
Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in two juvenile hurdles at Ballinrobe since going close at Limerick in June; has an edge over Faire La Nouba who has been placed on his two most recent Flat starts. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
10st 7lb |
Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

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. |

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. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Modest on the Flat; well beaten on handicap debut over hurdles in May but had some useful juvenile form and wouldn't be without hope should this new headgear combination trigger a return to that level. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
11st 10lb |
Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected. |

1st 9 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 108 over hurdles; gained a first success at the 12th attempt over hurdles in a weak Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, good); he's in good form for his chasing debut but others are more appealing. |
9/2 |

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

Now 0-11 over hurdles but twice placed in Bellewstown maidens, including early this month after forcing much of pace; has his chance in what appears a weak maiden. |

10st 8lb |
The most experienced filly in the field; not beaten far when third of 16 off 97 in a Cork handicap hurdle last time out; should run her race but probably vulnerable back in a maiden. |

|
3rd 13 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Has performed okay in modest 1m5f handicaps this year; runner-up in a maiden hurdle and heavy ground was against her in two handicaps; not dismissed. |

4th 2 (11) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Best effort yet on the Flat when a 3.75l sixth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) on return from 139 days off, denied a clear run (1.5l behind Eastern Wind); sharper for that, same mark here and should be thereabouts with smoother passage. |

Never in contention when a remote seventh in Down Royal event won by Kalsman; not an obvious candidate. |
