2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Unbeaten for Aidan Melia; made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles since June when scoring twice at the Galway festival; has gone up an aggregate 39lb and now bids to avail of the 73 Flat rating obtained as a 3yo; has a solid Aga Khan pedigree, so the trip should be within his range; Derek O'Connor booked. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Thriving since joining current yard, making it 3-3 when scoring in emphatic fashion over C&D on Monday, despite taking a keen hold; hit with a 13lb rise for that so up an aggregate of 29lb since joining the yard; Conor Smithers has ridden him on all three wins and maintains the partnership here; big player. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 11lb |
Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
A 22-race maiden, placed ten times, including five in a good spell between July and October last season; reported coughing at Down Royal on seasonal/stable debut; better in mid-field at Leopardstown. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |
12st 3lb |
Ended his time with Fergal O'Brien with back-to-back hurdle wins at Taunton and Chepstow in March/April 2024; after a long absence, had two Flat runs (including a satisfactory display at this venue) before being sent back over hurdles at Sligo nine days ago; made all and has a good chance despite 5lb rise. |
9/4 |
