4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
First and second on turf in Ireland last April/August on his only two starts for Noel Meade; debut for new stable saw him take third in the 1m4f AW novice event won by Constitution Hill, followed by another encouraging run on hurdle debut at Newbury two weeks ago; now tongue tied first time; seriously unexposed and no great surprise if he's on a good mark. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish unexposed sort whose Flat form comprises a success and two placed efforts, latest on debut for new stable in the AW novice event won by Constitution Hill; brings potential to this code and looks interesting. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dismal claims on form; combination of physical tweak (wind surgery) and fitting of tongue-tie/hood needs to make a huge difference. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has reached the frame in both hurdles starts but beaten 34l and 23l in the process; could be one for handicaps in due course but, in a race lacking depth, he may be capable of hitting the frame again. |
7/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat racer, albeit on the downgrade now; back with John Hanlon after three-run spell with Mark Loughnane that included a second on Polytrack (1m4f; RPR 88) last month; made underwhelming hurdle debut when well-held third at Worcester (2m, good) last summer but still enters calculations. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed ability in early bumpers but form has gone the wrong way, including on both starts over hurdles this summer; best watched for now. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Showed some ability in run-of-the-mill bumpers around this time last year but lacked fluency and finished over 20l behind Take The Boat and Maskarvel over C&D (good to firm) on recent hurdling debut. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who came second in a good-quality Ascot juvenile hurdle (1m7f, soft; also suited by good ground) for Denis Hogan in January; his two runs either side of that weren't quite as good but he still has strong claims on this stable debut. |
2/5 |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Won over 1m for Aidan O'Brien at two; easily pick of three hurdle runs for this yard when second in Ascot handicap (soft), most recently never counted on Flat return in 1m6f Curragh conditions event early this month; cheekpieces now tried and back in trip on return to handicap company. |

10st 10lb |
Easily won a point bumper in March 2025 (good to soft) but did not show much in three rules bumpers (remote when second here last month); significant improvement required on hurdles debut; tongue-tie removed. |
