21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
9/1 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here. |

Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 48y |
12st 0lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April. in good form on the Flat during the spring/summer, winning over 1m5f at Navan in June and runner-up twice; only just denied when sent back over hurdles at Navan nine days ago; 14-1 then, entitled to be a leading fancy now. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April and in good form on the Flat since, winning over 1m5f here in June and runner-up twice; may have gone as far as he can on the Flat and probably a good time to go back hurdling; worth a market check. |

Course 1m5f winner in June; backed that up with a narrow defeat at Bellewstown; unplaced on last three starts; perhaps too high in the ratings now, though the booking of Jody Townend is a positive. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 11lb |
Has been getting the hang of things in handicaps and is closely matched with a few main rivals based on third at Bellewstown off 5lb lower last month; followed that up with good second over C&D last time and is one of the lesser exposed types in here; likely player. |
13/2 |

2nd 14 (8) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 7lb |
Much the best of three handicap efforts came on latest when only denied second late on over this trip at Bellewstown (good); bit to find with second-placed Jurality on that form but 3yo looks on the improve and more possible (1lb wrong). |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |
9st 0lb |
Maiden hasn't run that badly in two of her three starts in handicaps; kept on well enough over 1m4f at Limerick on latest; dam closely related to 2m winner so may appreciate this longer trip but needs more to get her head in front. |

9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran and a multiple winner in both codes; won off 3lb lower at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); well beaten over hurdles at Galway on latest but is 9lb lower than when a 2.5l third over C&D last summer so not written off. |

Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely. |

Sole placing in 14 starts came on the AW; 0-12 on turf on the Flat, though last week's Navan effort offered some degree of promise; 2lb lower and not one to rule out. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |

Maiden whose best run for this yard was on seasonal return at Leopardstown when good fourth (1m5f, good); didn't seem to stay longer trip at Bellewstown so should appreciate drop back in distance here. |

6th 6 (4) |

Best run yet for this yard on seasonal return at Leopardstown where a 2.5l fourth of 19 (1m5f, good); same mark here and should strip fitter now so enters calculations. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Irish trainer 14-51 with Flat runners brought over, which entitles this 4yo to some respect; it's hard to find any other positives, though, with him yet to get involved in a finish under either code; the market will likely tell a tale. |
10/1 |

7th 10 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |

Lightly raced 4yo didn't show a whole lot in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; always behind when beating just one rival home at Down Royal latest (2m, good); hard to fancy for now. |

Sole win came in this race last year off this mark; eyecatching efforts on both recent starts, at Sligo and when coming from way back to finish fourth behind Miss Australie at Navan last week; looks primed for a bold repeat bid. |

Sole win came off 1lb lower at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last September; close third behind Anightaway and Eastern Wind at Sligo on latest and his good run over 1m5f here in June wasn't his first solid effort at this track (fourth in this last year); chance. |

Maiden hasn't built on promising stable debut/seasonal return when a close fourth of 16 at this venue in June (1m5f, good); same mark here and yard in form but must rebound from a couple of below par efforts. |
16/1 |
|
11th 6 (9) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |

Improved effort on debut for this yard at Navan (1m5f, good) last month when a staying on fourth over 1m5f (good); badly away and didn't handle track at Bellewstown latest so that run forgiven. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |

Much-improved effort on debut for this stable at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago when keeping on for a 1.25l fourth of 16; should go well again off 1lb higher if in the same mood. |

Maiden ran well when a 3.75l fourth of 16 at Roscommon in May for this rider but hasn't backed that up; beaten 15l when down the field at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good) on latest. |

Dual-purpose maiden ran her best race at Roscommon last month when fourth of 16 (1m4f, yielding to soft); unseated on her second hurdles start at Ballinrobe next time and well beaten at Down Royal back on the level over 2m last time; this trip suits better. |

A couple of her runs in 2024 suggested she could win a race but missed almost all of 2025 and heavy defeat on return from long layoff at Down Royal last month; cheekpieces go on and she's on a dangerous mark on her best form so check the market. |
