1st 6 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Unbeaten in bumpers (2-2) and won a maiden hurdle here in December; made no impression on Flat debut in Down Royal maiden last time out and will need to leave that well behind. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 9lb |
Won bumpers at Killarney and Galway, almost a year apart, making all on latter occasion; useful novice hurdler last season; took advantage of a mishap to El Cairos to win a maiden at Leopardstown at Christmas; remote third in a Grade 2 event at Fairyhouse at Eastweer; worth a shot in this sphere; possibly Galway-bound in due course |

10st 5lb |
Opened his account off a modest mark of 94 in a C&D handicap hurdle in October 2024; has now obtained a rating of 132 after recording his fourth handicap success at Killarney in May; seldom runs a bad race and was placed twice at last year's festival, third in the big amateur handicap and second in a handicap hurdle. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Record of 1-9 on Flat with the win coming at Navan last June (1m6f, good) off 73; good hurdler and added a fourth win in that sphere at Killarney last time; not discounted. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top. |
6/1 |

3 (7) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Proven in this headgear; pays his way under both codes and, if able to reproduce his effort here on Tuesday when hitting the line well for third in the 1m6f Copper Horse Stakes (good to firm), then he won't be far away on these favourable terms; the grey areas are inconsistency and the extra 7f (he did run over 3m over jumps) but he's one of only a few with realistic ambitions of winning. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 13lb |
Got off the mark on his first start for the stable in a first-time tongue-tie when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; emerged with plenty of credit when a good runner-up to a useful performer on the Flat at Bellewstown since; plenty of weight but should make his presence felt. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 43y |
11st 12lb |
Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying prohibitive odds on debut in Listowel bumper in September 2023 (good) but was unable to build on that twice afterwards on softer ground; absent since December 2023 and makes hurdles debut with ground likely to suit and clearly goes well fresh. |

29th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying prohibitive odds at Listowel (good) but he was in trouble a long way out at Cork and was beaten 7l; surely better than he showed that day but Patrick Mullins gets him off this time. |

Maiden in all spheres was tailed-off in a 1m4f Galway maiden on return for a new yard so can't be fancied on that showing. |

Dual-purpose maiden for Charles O'Brien rated a meagre 54 on the Flat; hard to fancy on yard debut. |

16-race maiden over hurdles; latest 14l defeat at Galway was a small step in the right direction but will need more. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Long-standing maiden tailed off in first two runs for this yard last summer and hasn't been seen since; miles out of the handicap here and impossible to make a case for. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |

Longstanding maiden has been out of form and didn't show enough on first start back at this yard in a maiden at Galway to be of interest here; 11lb wrong here and others preferred. |
