10st 0lb |
Two of his four wins have come at this track over an extended mile; two fine efforts at the festival here three days apart (hampered last time); ground is fine and looks a big player. |
3/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Goes well at this venue and was only reeled in close to home over 8.5f here on Tuesday; runs off the same mark now and nicely drawn so can't discount dropped back in trip; obvious chance. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Five-time Flat winner in Britain; promoted winner of C&D handicap in which Friar Hogan was carried out; he had also suffered interference caused by the first-past-the-post; went up 6lb and failed to distinguish himself at Punchestown. |
10/1 |

13th 10 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |
11st 2lb |
Five-time Flat winner in Britain; rightly got controversial 2m4f Limerick handicap hurdle in the stewards' room after being badly hampered by the first past the post; finished off well that day and likely drier ground here is a positive. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Five-time winner on the Flat in Britain; 0-11 hurdling for this yard, best effort yet when runner-up in a claimer at Clonmel in February; leading when slipped up going to three out at the same venue nine weeks ago; not ruled out. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Better chaser with three wins; ran well in a couple of 2m Thurles handicap hurdles last November before resuming chasing but generally well held; tries again over hurdles (0-14) and cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 11lb |
3-22 over fences (including a 2m win here); back from 114 days off with respectable run at Downpatrick on latest (19.5f, good); sharper for that but probably not much margin for error off current mark. |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Won on good ground at Thurles in November and has run well in defeat three times since including on heavy; said to have made a respiratory noise last time; can go well but is vulnerable off this mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |
11st 6lb |
Won off 7lb lower at Thurles in November (2m, gd-yld); has come up short twice since off revised mark, including over C&D (heavy); needs to find a bit more to win off this rating. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 168y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark with a C&D win in November (good to yielding); up 7lb and ran to a similar RPR to his win when fourth at Limerick next time (2m, heavy), prominent before weakening late on; better ground may help. |

Money down and job done at Limerick in April, over this sort of trip; disappointing over fences four days later, and off since; not much form on goodish ground. |
4/1 |

4th 17 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

Third reserve; stablemate of Let Him B; well handicapped judged on last week's hurdle win at Clonmel; could be much too good for these rivals if getting a run. |

1st 9 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |

Has a very patchy profile but would be a player judged on his penultimate third at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy); looked held when brought down two out at that track three weeks ago; market will reveal expectations. |

Maiden has yet to indicate any signs of winning potential; pulled up on latest at Clonmel and 2lb wrong here; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

Okay runs on his last two starts at Kilbeggan and Wexford; a little more needed but capable of getting into the frame at his best. |

6th 14 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |

Ordinary form until a much improved effort in a strongly run contest at Kilbeggan two weeks ago; could be a little more to come from him and rider bookings suggest he is the stable first-string. |

Losing run stretches back to 2023 and recent form over hurdles have not suggested a return to the winner's enclosure is imminent; can only be watched back on the Flat. |

0-9 over hurdles; belied 66-1 odds when fourth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding; first-time blinkers) on Boxing Day but that was a rather messy tactical race and she was pulled up last time; others look safer. |
12/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

Lost form for his previous trainer after two good runs in September 2024; plenty to prove on his first run since out of his depth in a Flat maiden last autumn, previously a moderate fourth in a claimer over hurdles. |
