11st 9lb |
French bumper winner has never raced on better than yielding to soft; made the breakthrough for his current stable when taking a six-runner Fairyhouse contest by 12l on handicap debut; came up short off revised mark in Listed handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown towards end of last season; ground a concern for return. |

10st 0lb |
French bumper winner; 4yo won easily on handicap bow at Fairyhouse in February (16.5f, heavy); came up short off 14lb higher back there on latest when 1lb wrong and similar story here; would probably prefer softer ground. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark in 4yo C&D handicap in February (heavy) and better again when a clear second to a strong favourite in 2m1f Limerick conditions event last month on similar ground under today's rider, conceding plenty of weight; 1lb wrong but could go well off light weight. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; made a fine start for his new stable when winning a Class 5 1m4f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago, drawing clear with an unexposed rival despite a steady pace; not missed with a 7lb rise but not out of the question he will kick on again. |

9st 11lb |
0-6 on the Flat but he won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April on his final start for Denis Hogan; has since been purchased for £26,000 and makes his stable/AW debut for a yard that does well with new recruits; market should be informative. |

Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |
7/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 5lb |
Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

Won Galway 3yo maiden last autumn and back to form in C&D handicap 13 days ago, relishing longer trip to win going away under a patient ride; 8lb rise but can go well. |
