12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner was pulled-up on hurdles debut in testing ground last November, but a much better effort in a Downpatrick novice last time; penalised 8lb and still needs a fair bit more. |

Flat AW winner was pulled up on sole start over hurdles in November; soundly beaten on return from a break on the Flat latest; hood added to tongue tie. |

Busy AW campaign over the winter, winning over this trip and runner-up three times afterwards; ran well for a long way on latest but 1m4f seemed too far; back in trip with race-fitness guaranteed so definite each-way claims. |

Fair fifth over C&D in May on sole AW run; did nothing in a hurry at Leopardstown (1m1f) on Thursday, but stuck to his task and not beaten far; big horse has one in him, but maybe not quite yet. |

Showed little in first six starts on the Flat and over hurdles; plugged on reasonably well when fifth over 1m4f at Dundalk in May but hard to recommend. |

11st 2lb |
Shock win when bolting up at 40-1 off 93 at Cork in April (2m, yielding); midfield off revised mark at Limerick later that month, but testing ground may not have suited; could resume progress returned to a sounder surface. |
15/2 |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 11lb |
Ordinary Flat form in Britain and three quiet runs in maidens before much-improved on handicap debut (following wind surgery and with first-time tongue-tie) at Cork early this month when a 40-1 shot, hitting last but winning going away over 2m (yielding); 10lb rise for that but could go well. |

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. |

Close third at Limerick in June 2025 beginning to look like a flash in the pan; poor form over hurdles and on the Flat this year; tailed off at Fairyhouse latest (1m6f, good). |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |

Some promising runs in defeat last season; okay run over hurdles at Bellewstown in April but his tailed off finish at Sligo last month is concerning. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

4th 8 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 9lb |
Snapped a dismal run of form when dropping into this grade at Fairyhouse and taking the runner-up spot (1m4f, good); nudged up 1lb but if he can build on that latest run he's a player. |

Flat maiden has taken well to hurdles, winning a Fairyhouse maiden on debut and running some fine races in defeat since; has to find more to win but should be in the mix. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 7lb |
No great shakes in failing to win on the Flat but has won a maiden over hurdles and performed well in the face of some stiff tasks; however, this is another, and she's held by Majolique on Naas form. |

3rd 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
10st 7lb |
Flat maiden (rated 70) got off the mark over timber at Fairyhouse in November (soft-to-heavy) and highly tried since, notably getting up for second behind clear winner Narciso Has in Grade 2 at Leopardstown; never really recovered from blunder three out in valuable mares' handicap at same venue early this month; place claims on ground she handles. |

Fell three out on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in November; 125-1 and beaten 23l over this C&D later that month; off since and can only be watched for now in first-time hood unless the market speaks. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Tenth foal; closely related to trainer's hurdle/chase winner Neveradullmoment, also half-sister to two other multiple winners for the stable, Teacher's Pet and Whatareyoudoingtome; dam hurdle winner; pedigree points to stamina rather than speed. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Trainer's four-timer last weekend makes this 1m1f winner of interest; narrowly beaten over 1m3f here in September, too, and some decent runs hurdling during the winter; nice run over 1m at Leopardstown but unplaced at Navan since; tongue-tie left off; doubt she wants it too fast. |

First reserve; won a Punchestown handicap last year over 1m1f; some decent hurdle runs over the winter and a solid Leopardstown return over 1m; considered. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Won off lowly mark (42) at Punchestown last September; made the frame on her final two starts before being switched to hurdling; fair form in that sphere, apart from a poor handicap run last time; probably best over further; tongue-tie added now. |

4yo filly is 0-6 over hurdles but has races in her; runner up in mares' handicaps at Bellewstown (2m1f, yielding) and Wexford (2m4f, gd-yld) the last twice; nudged up another 3lb and not sure she wants testing ground; chance if the forecast rain misses. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Made a good impression when third at Fairyhouse first time (2m, soft to heavy); failed to repeat that until taking the second spot at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, yielding); not the most fluent jumper but in the mix with improvement. |

Tailed off on chase debut last time; hasn't had much racing and he was second in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in February (2m, heavy), albeit some 12l off the winner; all his form is in the mud, except when well beaten in a good-ground bumper. |
