19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles at Clonmel in February; raised 7lb and came up short back there on latest, though the 2m3f trip may have stretched him; could go well dropped back in distance for his first handicap chase. |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |
11st 8lb |
No show in maidens; solid fourth on handicap debut at Listowel last September (2m, good to yielding); detached at Thurles next start; runner-up of 14 here in January, 23l behind an impressive winner; went one place better four weeks ago with a 7l success; 7lb rise is not particularly harsh. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
10st 7lb |
Veteran is 3-38 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024 off 84; decent fourth at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) before dismal effort at Punchestown next time (2m3f, heavy); bounced back with rallying runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m, heavy); on career low mark and can't be ruled out. |
15/2 |

2nd 11 |
26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |
10st 12lb |
Veteran is 3-37 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024; handles testing ground and ran well when fourth here (2m4f) last month; needs to bounce back from dismal effort at Punchestown. |

Veteran is 3-36 over hurdles, the last win coming here over 2m4f (good) in November 2024; handles testing ground, is 3lb below that last success and ran okay at Clonmel latest; could go well. |

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 |
11st 1lb |
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. |
11/2 |

26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |

Not a bad effort on handicap debut after long absence when fifth at Thurles in November; unseated, brought down next two starts; tailed off at Limerick before a much-improved display at this venue four weeks ago. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden but went close when beaten a head at Stratford on stable debut for Dan Skelton, his first attempt at 2m6f; was well backed and saw the trip out strongly, offering encouragement he'll stay this slightly longer distance; up 4lb but remains a leading contender. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles in Ireland but he finished third of 20 in a Cork handicap (2m, yielding) in April on his final run; left Shark Hanlon for 24,000euros since; now tries a new trip after a break but he needs a close look on his first run Dan Skelton. |
6/4 |

3rd 9 |
6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden's best run in four handicap starts was when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding) at Christmas; twice well held on more testing ground since; might go okay on likely better surface here. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 and some fine runs in defeat since including back here the last twice; is steadily climbing the handicap but is still one for the shortlist. |

3rd 15 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 11lb |
Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Went up 10lb for winning a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in May; has to bounce back from an ordinary effort at Killarney last month over this shorter trip but the booking of Jack Kennedy an obvious plus. |

Last won over hurdles here (2m, good) in 2022; rated 23lb higher over fences but hard to fancy on the evidence of his last three runs over hurdles at Clonmel. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Hurdles win came at Tramore back in 2022, more recently won over fences at Wexford last summer; soft ground not ideal of late so improvement on the cards back on a sound surface. |

Infrequent winner but consistent in the main and deserved his Wexford chase victory a year ago; has failed to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three outings since then; tailed off here four weeks ago in the race won by Courtbrack Boy. |

Lightly raced 5yo whose five runs have all been on much softer ground, pulled up on handicap debut in February when last seen; may improve for this better ground, market may give us a clue. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |

Some promise when fifth in Cork maiden on debut; regressed in three subsequent outings; however, could be lurking off a dangerous mark on handicap debut; Darragh O'Keeffe is an eyecatching booking. |

10st 2lb |
Three decent runs since winning over C&D (gd-yld) in April off 8lb lower, two over hurdles and when second on the Flat at Limerick; ground may have been a bit lively back over hurdles at Ballinrobe latest; return to this C&D a plus, as is the forecast rain; chance. |

5th 14 |
10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |
10st 1lb |
Took a long time to win a race over hurdles but has been in fine form in recent months; deserved her breakthrough win at Kilbeggan; suffered interference when chasing home an easy winner at Limerick; transferred her form to the Flat when second at 25-1 in a 1m4f contest at the same venue; good chance off a light weight. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 3lb |
Sole Flat win in Roscommon maiden (1m4f, soft) in May 2024; 1-19 over hurdles, that win gained when making all to score decisively at Kilbeggan in April; second in course handicap hurdle on latest but tough mark back on Flat. |
