2nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
10st 0lb |
Course maiden hurdle winner was over-faced several times over fences after winning a Roscommon novice which fell apart last summer; has the beating of Blood Destiny on Listowel running two runs back, and little wrong with his 6l fourth to Lisleigh Lad on handicap debut at Wexford, where he didn't quite see it out over a furlong farther. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Highly tried and has cut little ice, including thrice at Grade 3 level, since winning a 2m novice at Roscommon last summer; appeared to run well behind much higher-rated rivals in conditions contest at Listowel last time, but marksman left him alone; capable of being competitive in first handicap. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |
13/8 |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Maiden hurdle winner is rated 130 in that sphere but lost his form after some poor jumping; didn't jump well when won on chase debut at Wexford either but can surely do better with that experience behind him. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Half-brother to top-class State Man made a winning hurdles debut at Tramore last year; ran a decent race behind stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown in March; fading in third when falling at the last at Cork and poor jumping took its toll when pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing now; has twice been scratched on good-to-yielding ground, which is a concern. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; didn't quite get home on sole start at 3m over timber, so stamina to prove on chase debut. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner was just denied in a Naas handicap two starts back; then ran a solid race in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; looks the yard's first-string but needs more. |
22/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Second here (on good) early as novice but tailed off in the Martin Pipe last March; better over this sort of trip and surged back to form when a close second to Melbourne Shamrock in the Naas qualifier (2m7f, heavy) 18 days ago in a second-time visor, staying on strongly from off pace; requires better to justify this British mark but needs a second look for trainer who's done well in this race. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 7lb |
Three wins include 2m6f handicap here last year; former points' winner was returning from 14-month absence when modest enough third of seven behind a stablemate and favourite on chase debut at Tramore last month; seems sure to have come on for that experience and likely the one to beat. |
9/4 |

3rd 9 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Third runner for yard; point and bumper winner hit form over hurdles last year, winning twice and getting to a rating of 127; seems to be the stable third string on return/chasing debut but can still give a good account. |
6/1 |
