Maiden hurdle winner; landed a beginners' chase at Thurles (2m5f, heavy) in January; had some of these behind when good second back over hurdles over this C&D latest (Jeriko De Baune third); quicker ground fine and in the mix again off just 1lb higher. |

Triple hurdle winner is rated 120 in that discipline and has won over 3m; however, was tailed-off on chasing debut at Naas recently so will have to improve hugely on that. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 120 over hurdles; three-time winner over timber with his latest win coming at Navan in February last year (2m6f, soft to heavy); nothing from three subsequent runs, beaten 7.5l at this venue last month (2m7f, heavy); 12yo makes his chasing debut now and others preferred. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |

Three hurdle wins have all been on soft/heavy, most recently runaway win over 2m6f at Navan a year ago off 114; seen just twice since off much higher mark, pulled up after never counting on seasonal return at same venue in November; entitled to come on for that and has his ground. |

Is 1-9 in chases; that win came in a mares' chase at Clonmel in March 2022; has run well here a couple of times in the past and she should strip fitter after a spin over hurdles at Navan; capable of making her presence felt off her current mark. |

Last two wins came back-to-back in the early months of 2022; failed to complete her final two starts before a break, fell in a chase at Punchestown, pulled up when well fancied for a handicap hurdle at Wexford; showed that she could run well fresh when second at Punchestown 13 months ago. |

Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy. |

Just 1-24 over hurdles when based in Ireland and was pulled up (albeit on slow ground) on chasing debut in February; ran well to a point when back over hurdles for new stable ten days ago (first-time cheekpieces) but was well held in the end; others look safer. |

Won for the third time at Naas in April off 81 (3m, gd-yld); decent run off revised mark at Cork without looking like winning; similar effort in handicap chase at Wexford latest; has won off this rating on testing ground so rain may enhance his chance. |
11/2 |
Verdict
A case can be made for quite a few of these. Meehall comes into the race in fine form but he’ll need a career best of his revised rating. Big Debates likes it here and should go well off his lower hurdles mark and Buck Rogers and Crossing The Bar are also considered. However, a chance is taken on TOOR KHOV. He is relatively unexposed, the form of his maiden win has worked out and he may have needed the run last time out. Paddy’s Milestone could also go well if handling the ground. [Dave Stephens]
