11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle win came on very testing ground at Navan in February (2m); didn't count on last month's chase debut at Kilbeggan, but entitled to come on for the experience. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, coming in easy success in very testing ground at Navan in February; consistent in maidens and handicaps prior to to being tailed off at Cork 71 days ago; rated 123 over hurdles and should have place claims if transferring form to fences. |
7/1 |

Bumper winner showed improved form to run away with a 2m Navan maiden hurdle last time on heavy; raised 7lb and this is tougher but is going the right way. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 90y |
9st 9lb |
Bumper winner in January 2025; rated 109 over hurdles and race-fit but probably best watched on Flat debut. |
28/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Bumper winner has run with credit in five maiden hurdles without winning; is capable of running well on handicap debut but could be vulnerable too off top-weight. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Fairyhouse bumper winner; best hurdles run came at that venue last April when a 7l second (2m4f, yielding); well below that level in two runs this term and beaten 26l in C&D novice on latest; others make more appeal. |

Recent Navan fifth was a step in the right direction; had plenty of horses behind but was beaten in excess of 40l; further improvement needed. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Just minor promise in a 2m1f (yielding) Down Royal bumper on debut; failed to beat a rival home in an Ayr bumper next time; beaten 34l over 2m here last time; unlikely to trouble the principals. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
10st 2lb |
Three flat wins for Michael Bell came at 1m6f on quick ground; ordinary enough hurdles form for current yard but fine run on the flat over this trip at the Curragh on Derby weekend back on decent ground, only losing second late on when 2lb out of handicap; down in grade here and tongue-tie tried; has to be respected. |
13/2 |

3rd 11 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
8st 7lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

Flat winner on good ground for William Haggas and achieved a top rating of 85; 50-1 and failed to fire in a heavy ground Naas maiden hurdle on debut for this stable two weeks ago; similar underfoot conditions here and best watched. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 190y |

Won on good over 1m2f for William Haggas; also ran well on AW; well beaten on good-to-soft on final outing; 62,000gns purchase last autumn; heavy going may not suit on Irish/hurdling debut. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful bumper scorer but he failed to build on a promising start in this sphere for Gordon Elliott, pulled up in maiden hurdles on his last two runs early in 2026; changed hands for 4,000gns since and has plenty to prove for his new yard with a hood fitted. |
9/1 |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of six for yard; bumper winner at this venue (yielding); highly tried at times since but jumping has held him back, albeit wasn't beaten that far when fourth at Fairyhouse on penultimate; had an excuse (coughing) when pulled up latest; and might rebound in new headgear combination back at the scene of his bumper win. |
100/30 |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 12lb |
Navan bumper winner last season who made very promising hurdles debut in Leopardstown maiden before set very stiff tasks twice in Grade 1 contests; jumping let him down on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in November when reportedly hanging violently left throughout in first-time tongue-tie; Jack Kennedy sticks with him and big player if near his best. |
