16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for better ground; edging up the weights after placed efforts at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld), Listowel (20.5f, gd-yld) and on latest at Limerick (22.5f, good); nudged up another 2lb, but should be on the premises again. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |

10st 9lb |
Won second race over hurdles when landing a handicap at Listowel (2m2f, gd-yld) in September; below best twice since, in a handicap chase at Clonmel and a handicap hurdle on heavy at Limerick in December; off since and record fresh suggests he might need this run. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 100 after five runs over fences; the latest of those was a positive third in a Roscommon handicap chase in August last year (2m6f, yielding) off 99; made winning stable debut in a Killarney handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good to yielding); tailed off at Ballinrobe last time; most experienced of these but others probably more talented. |

12st 0lb |
Doubled his tally over fences when winning this race last year off 8lb lower (yielding to soft) under O'Keeffe; has run just once since then, on seasonal return at Punchestown when an okay eighth of 18 in a 2m handicap hurdle (good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now and he has won on good; interesting. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Four hurdle starts were in the second half of 2023; moderate form then, and also in points and over fences in 2024; much-improved last year, winning a point and back-to-back handicaps over fences, both over staying trips; this distance looks inadequate; stable's current form is a positive. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Wexford handicap hurdle winner (2m1f, soft) for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87, and first success since came on latest in 2m4f Limerick handicap chase in May on better ground; one to consider now off 9lb lower hurdles mark. |

11st 9lb |
Safely held in 2m4f chase here last month and now 0-9 under rules; back up in trip and fitted with tongue-tie for this return to hurdling; considered only if lively in the betting. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Won a Killarney maiden hurdle in July 2024; went close to adding to his tally in a handicap chase at Tipperary when last seen over a year ago, beaten 1.75l into second of 16; rated 9lb higher over timber so place shout if ready to rock after break. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point (3m) and Killarney maiden hurdle (20.5f) winner; may have needed the run on handicap chase debut when beaten 19.5l at Tramore (2m6f, gd-yld) a month ago but suspicion this trip may be on the sharp side. |

On a long losing run and needs to improve markedly on recent efforts over fences; latest efforts over hurdles are no more encouraging. |
