25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Blinkered first time when third of 14 on his handicap debut in this sphere at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January and off the mark over fences when landing fairly valuable event at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month; 22-1 and pulled up in Listed novice handicap last time but that had the makings of a warm event and he needs respecting. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 11lb |
Improved since going handicapping, decent Thurles effort followed by 2m Gowran win last month on heavy under a positive ride from today's rider; 5lb higher and this looks a much stronger race. |
7/1 |

1st 5 |
7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Second on his first two starts over fences last April/May; remote seventh behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan in November; below-par when sharing favouritism in a Punchestown conditions hurdle in December; ran out of steam late on handicap chase debut over 2m5f at Thurles, 2m may suit better. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; last two runs have been respectable but looks held by Harbour Highway and Lisleigh Lad on Leopardstown running; rider Phidelma Elvin won this in 2023. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; two below-par displays at that venue before signs of a return to form when fourth over 2m2f there on latest. |
12/1 |

10th 12 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
10st 7lb |
Five-time winner under Rules, with both his chase wins coming at this track on good ground in a 2m2f beginners' and in this race last year; just 2lb higher since his win last year but beaten fairly comprehensively in three summer starts and pulled up around here last month (2m5f, yielding); comes into the race in lesser form than last year. |

A 25l defeat at Wexford last time out brought Rules' record to 0-23; difficult to make a solid case for on form. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
10st 5lb |
A record of 1-29 over fences but has been placed lots of times including at Limerick and Wexford the last twice; needs to do more but shouldn't be far away off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 15 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; comes here in decent form though, most recently second to Krabat in 2m4f Limerick handicap last month after a break, having every chance; better ground here could see him turn the tables on that rival (1lb wrong). |
13/2 |

2nd 7 |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 0lb |
Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; two good runs in December though, latter occasion when fourth in 3m1f Leopardstown handicap chase off this mark; more needed. |
