30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
12st 1lb |
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. |

Dual hurdles winner last season at Galway and Ballinrobe on goodish ground; creditable efforts in opening two chase runs but tailed off on handicap bow at Navan when last seen in December; may need this return. |

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy for Gavin Cromwell last season; pick of five attempts chasing when outstayed late on by a well-handicapped rival in 2m7f Limerick handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); not so good following month at Navan and given a break since; ground likely on the quick side. |

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. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y |
10st 10lb |
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. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |

1st 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

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. |

6th 9 |
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. |

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. |

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. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |

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 |

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. |

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). |
