Maiden after 16 runs under all rules; back after an absence with two runs over the summer, the best of which was a fifth in a Wexford h'cap chase; needs his best back over hurdles. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Returned from a lengthy break to make stable debut at Downpatrick 9 days ago when fifth of 11 (2m2f, good) after leading at two out; entitled to improve from that but majority of hurdles form is not great; needs to improve on chasing debut; trainer also runs Figurehead. |

Formerly useful for Wille Mullins and ran okay in Flat maidens in the autumn, but his recent hurdles form has been poor and mark on the slide. |

Won a bumper and maiden hurdle over 2m for Willie Mullins in an interrupted career; form for current yard over hurdles and Flat suggests he needs to find a fair bit of improvement. |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner; record of 2-8 over fences and signed off for previous yard on a high, winning a small-field Grade 3 before outrunning his odds behind last year's Galway Plate hero Western Fold in a 3m1f Grade 1 novice chase at Punchestown in April; intriguing runner now with Gordon Elliott, who has won this five times. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner; off the mark over fences at this track (2m5f) in November; better effort when second to C'Est Ta Chance in a Thurles novice event over a similar trip; good effort when winning a three-runner Cork event; takes a big jump in class. |

Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at this track (2m5f) in November; better effort when second in a Thurles novice last time over a similar trip; can race keenly so not sure will stay 3m but is the most likely to give the top-weight a race. |

5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; point-to-point and bumper winner; 1-3 on the Flat; beaten off 86 in a 1m6f handicap at Navan (heavy) latest; major improvement needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Dual-purpose; bumper winner got off the mark on the level in a C&D (soft) maiden in October; four runs over hurdles since so won't lack for fitness on Flat handicap debut but her opening handicap mark doesn't look overly generous. |
15/2 |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner won a bumper last season and a Flat maiden last year; 0-4 hurdling but makes plenty of appeal on recent Fairyhouse handicap debut, clear second to a well-handicapped rival over this trip (yielding); 3lb wrong but rider good value for his 7lb claim, so one to consider. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 140y |
11st 4lb |
British raider; 4yo is 0-5 over hurdles but far from disgraced the last twice when a 3.5l fifth of 20 in the Triumph at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) and a 6.5l fourth of 12 in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree; gets weight all round and rated 141, so definite place chance on the figures. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on well for 80-1 fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) and this step up in trip could prompt further improvement; however, two starts ago this 4yo was soundly beaten by Montemares and Kosac d'Oudairies at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) and he needs to back up his latest promise. |
20/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Ran twice on Flat for Aidan O'Brien; three hurdle races this winter, a never-dangerous 4l fourth to Maestro Conti in Grade 2 Triumph Trial at Cheltenham (soft) on second occasion; first-time cheekpieces in Kelso Grade 2 (good to soft) 13 days ago where a 17l defeat does not augur well for this. |

Camelot colt ran okay on Gowran debut (1m2f) in April but two months later dropped out tamely (blowing hard) when upped in trip at Leopardstown (1m5f, good); back from a break on softer ground. |

19th Jun 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 180y |

Improvement likely from an initial run in fifth behind the useful Eastwatch at Gowran in March; may not match Carthusian, but worth noting that his jockey won this race for the stable last year. |

Fifth foal; half-brother to multiple minor winner Pop Favorite; dam 7f winner by Oasis Dream, sister to French 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Naaqoos; relatively modest pedigree profile by the stable's usual standards; respected all the same. |

Excellent effort on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts; worth considering now having finished second in a 22-runner 1m6f event at this venue last week. |

Excellent effort on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May off 2lb lower; beaten 5.25l when fourth at Tramore (2m, good) on latest off this mark; handicapper slow to relent. |

Well held in AW handicaps; improved in first-time hood on turf return in late May when chasing home hot favourite Ballyadam over this trip at Listowel (good); moderate run over 1m4f at Bellewstown last week; return to longer trip should help. |

1m4f Roscommon maiden winner went close in a valuable 1m6f handicap here in May off 10lb lower; not disgraced in a 1m4f Group 3 at Cork but hiked up 6lb and beaten 11l on return to a handicap over C&D latest; bit to prove off current mark. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 5lb |
1m4f Roscommon maiden winner (good) shaped promisingly when a 1.5l second of 24 on handicap debut here in May (1m6f, good) off 10lb lower; not disgraced in Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on latest, but 6lb rise for that makes things tougher back in handicap company. |
