8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |

Back to form with fine effort under positive ride in big field at Galway on latest; has gone well over this C&D before so obvious chance off the same mark as last time. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time winner over timber, including at this venue last September (16.5f, gd-yld); 0-5 over fences but hasn't run badly the last twice (trip too far on latest) and the handicapper is giving him a chance; likes it here and not dismissed. |

Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and a Galway handicap over 2m last year; some good chase runs in defeat since, including here; can improve from return effort; major step up in trip, but a player if staying. |

11st 2lb |
Sole win came in heavy ground handicap hurdle last year; consistent in seven chase starts; arguably career best when beaten 11l into third by Vicar Street at Galway eight days ago; drop back in trip fine and he's going the right way; good claims. |

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy; pick of six attempts chasing when worn down late in a 2m7f Limerick handicap last Christmas (soft-to-heavy) and when chasing home a useful sort in a Wexford beginners' event four weeks ago; trainer saddled a smart novice winner here on Tuesday. |

11st 1lb |
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 |
11st 10lb |
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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suddenly bounced back to form when heavily punted at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) in May, but recent efforts have been underwhelming and this drop back in trip may not be ideal; considered only if the subject of another big market move. |
8/1 |

5th 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained since) and justified strong market support at Bangor (2m4f, good) in March; mixed form since, however, and only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month following a break and wind surgery; needs to raise his game and is unproven at the trip. |
12/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Back today from a second wind operation and it took him a while to find his form after the first; only four ran when third in his latest race and he does look on a stiff mark, 10lb higher than for the easy Bangor win in March. |

10st 13lb |
Third runner for yard; maiden hurdle winner has been well beaten in three chase runs including at this track; however, her chase mark is 8lb below hurdles one, so can't be dismissed if back to her best. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 5lb |
1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; modest efforts in first two chases at Fairyhouse when beaten 17l and Wexford when beaten 40l, both last October; off since and this is an easier race; yard continues in hot form so she can't be discounted. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
11st 5lb |
One of two for trainer; hasn't looked like adding to her Cork maiden hurdle win in six starts since then and was 17l behind on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding); Magic Day appears the pick of the stable's pair. |

C&D winner off 2lb lower last year (yielding); form since then doesn't excite too much but she was better reverted to hurdles over C&D last time when taking the runner-up spot in first-time cheekpieces; place chance. |

Took runner-up spot in only point; won a Kilbeggan mares' handicap hurdle in April last year (2m4f, yielding) off 108; ran poorly on chasing debut at Wexford in October but was better at Tramore back over fences last time when third (2m6f, good to yielding); didn't jump with fluency that day and three horses in front fell at the second last. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 1lb |
Touched off in a 3m Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (heavy) in February off 121; made amends in a mares' handicap chase at Navan (20.5f, sft-hvy) later that month, winning readily by 9l; hiked up 10lb to 122 and steps back up in trip; could be more to come. |

Middling runs in two beginners chases; moderate effort back over hurdles in December but ran a career best when beaten a head in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time (3m, heavy); wore first-time cheekpieces that day, which are now left off; runs off a 10lb lower mark for handicap chase debut; big contender. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 8lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 Limerick mares' novice, most recently landing odds in weaker four-runner 3m1f Grade 3 novice at same track in late March, making most from halfway; those runs came in testing conditions but handles better ground; likely has more to offer. |

Has taken well to chasing this term, winning on debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in much stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 mares' novice here at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); unseated early in 3m1f Leinster National on latest but major player here back against her own sex. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 4lb |
Immediate impact chasing when victorious in a Wexford beginners' chase (2m4f, good to yielding); good second at Fairyhouse next time in a mares only contest (2m5f, yielding to soft); another pleasing effort upped to Grade 2 level at Limerick when third (2m7f, soft to heavy); 2m was too short for her in a Listed chase here last time (heavy); had been a fancy for the Kim Muir but comes here instead; Walsh rides another though. |

One of three for stable; flat and hurdles winner off the mark over fences off 6lb lower at Wexford (2m, gd-yld) when last seen in May; this longer trip should be fine and yard made hay at this meeting last season; can't discount. |

Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

Didn't hang around over hurdles and won the second of his beginners' chase starts at Clonmel (2m2f, heavy) in December; fourth of nine in Grade 1 company next time at Leopardstown; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown festival in May (2m4f, yielding); never involved when favourite in a better Ballinrobe contest last time; blinkers go on, and he's of interest if they sharpen him. |

Didn't hang around long over hurdles and solid form in first season over fences; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding) last month; hasn't raced beyond 2m4f but good chance if he stays (dam won hurdle over 2m4f). |
