17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Joined Jamie Snowden after Irish bumper win in October; made underwhelming stable/hurdle debut in March but justified odds-on favouritism in five-runner Exeter maiden (2m, good) last month and is open to significant further improvement over this longer trip; leading contender. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bought for £82,000 after landing Galway bumper on his debut last October; 2-1, made a promising start over hurdles when fifth of 15 in 2m Wetherby novice last month, nearest finish; capable of better for leading yard and a big player. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Placed in two of three starts in bumpers; good second in a Limerick maiden hurdle in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); off since tailed off in Limerick bumper in February; a repeat of his last run over hurdles would give him a squeak here. |

6th 4 |
10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Has accrued form figures of 232 in three starts in bumpers on yielding-soft to heavy at 2m-2m3f; form of latest second here (2m3f, sft-hvy) boosted by the winner in a Naas novice hurdle on Saturday; closely matched with Hey Now and Of Land And Sea; chance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
After minor wins in Ireland he went off 50-1 for the 2m5f Grade 1 Turners at Cheltenham but he defied those odds to finish third, in spite of so much going wrong during the race (got behind after suffering interference); the manner in which he stayed on offers plenty of encouragement for this extra yardage; it's a nagging concern that only four 5yos have won this since 1988 but intriguing otherwise. |
9/2 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Safely held when second to Riskaway at Thurles (2m4f, good to yielding) but improved since; followed a wide-margin win there (yielding to soft) by responding well for pressure to score at Navan (also 2m, soft to heavy); the step back up in trip is probably of little concern and he might surprise a few. |
40/1 |

1st 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Placed on both bumper starts; beaten 1 1/4l by a subsequent maiden hurdle winner at Galway on the first occasion; no match for a short-priced Gordon Elliott inmate on hurdling debut over 2m4f at Thurles; recovered from a bad error two out when a runaway winner over 2m at Thurles four weeks ago; promising sort. |

Some promise in bumpers; was badly hampered when well beaten on handicap hurdle debut last time at Clonmel; can do better and sounder surface can help. |

Two respectable bumper runs; two most recent of four hurdle outings offer no encouragement. |

Posted a couple of okay efforts in bumpers but no sign of ability in two hurdle outings to date; Danny Mullins, who was aboard last time, is now on Lanzhou. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-3 in points and has the same strike-rate in both bumpers and on the Flat; he's by no means devoid of ability but needs to step up. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 90y |

Dual-purpose maiden; similar RPRs in mid 60s in two 1m4f Flat runs at Dundalk; will qualify for handicaps after this. |

11st 12lb |
0-8 in bumpers, couple of decent efforts in that sphere at Thurles and Ballinrobe on good ground; tailed off at Newbury last time when a big price on hurdles debut; needs plenty more and wants a decent surface. |
28/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 90y |
11st 10lb |
0-7 in bumpers but has run well in defeat on occasion; finished 1.5l behind Premier Rogue when fourth at Punchestown on latest, weakening late under positive ride in first-time blinkers (retained); may have needed that run so not discounted. |
12/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 95y |
11st 3lb |
Best of her six bumper runs when around 10l third of 16 at Ballinrobe; interesting that Derek O'Connor (aboard the winner of the race) takes the ride now; blinkers tried after less encouraging runs at Ballinrobe and Clonmel. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Not beaten far in a Galway bumper on debut; unconvincing hurdles form so far (including well held on completed start in handicaps) but Sean Bowen enlisted by an Irish yard no stranger to Perth success over the years, although not so much in recent times; betting interesting. |
6/1 |

10th 22 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Not beaten far in a Galway bumper on debut but hasn't kicked from that; wouldn't be the obvious answer on handicap debut. |
