22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up when back over fences at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January and this 6yo is of interest on that form; however, three lesser performances have followed and he needs to raise his game if he's to win this. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |

Underwhelming at Down Royal last time when cheekpieces were applied (now left off); however, prior to that he ran well in second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on his second chase start and has a part to play if rediscovering that form. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 8lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 Limerick mares' novice, most recently landing odds in weaker four-runner 3m1f Grade 3 novice at same track in late March, making most from halfway; those runs came in testing conditions but handles better ground; likely has more to offer. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |
10st 7lb |
Has taken well to chasing this term, winning on debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners' and acquitted herself well in much stronger company, notably third in 2m7f Grade 2 mares' novice here at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); unseated early in 3m1f Leinster National on latest but major player here back against her own sex. |
10/11 |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 4lb |
Immediate impact chasing when victorious in a Wexford beginners' chase (2m4f, good to yielding); good second at Fairyhouse next time in a mares only contest (2m5f, yielding to soft); another pleasing effort upped to Grade 2 level at Limerick when third (2m7f, soft to heavy); 2m was too short for her in a Listed chase here last time (heavy); had been a fancy for the Kim Muir but comes here instead; Walsh rides another though. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
One of eight for trainer; Grade 1-placed over hurdles and off the mark over fences at the third attempt when successful at Thurles in March (2m2f, soft), making all for 12l win; creditable fourth in a 2m1f Fairyhouse handicap last time; step up in trip should suit. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |

Placed in Grade 1 mares novice' on this card last year and off the mark over fences on latest of three attempts, making all for unextended win over 2m2f at Thurles last month (soft), jumping much better; still learning and could improve to play a role here; Townend's choice. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 22y |

Second runner for yard; maiden hurdle winner has run creditably in graded contests, including third in Fairyhouse Grade 1 mares' novice last April (2m4f, soft to heavy); very disappointing in two chase starts this season, tailed off last when sent off odds-on at Naas on latest but Townend stays loyal. |

Left his previous maiden hurdle form behind when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month (beaten roughly 1l) and the third went close at Clonmel since; handicapper has revised his mark and may need further progress to win on handicap debut but longer trip may suit. |

Stays much further but handled drop back to 2m when landing Naas handicap hurdle in December (soft to heavy); second past the post at Thurles early last month, disqualified after his rider weighed in light; leading and appeared set to win when falling at the last at the same venue three weeks ago; raised 4lb; could be hard to beat. |

Winning chaser; stays much farther but handled drop back to 2m when landing handicap hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) on penultimate start; trip-versatile and relatively unexposed over fences; 8lb higher than when winning over 2m5f here in October.. could be in the mix. |

Consistent over fences recently; finished second at Naas in December (2m, heavy) and bounced back from a below par run with two runner-up finishes in his last two starts at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) and Fairyhouse (3m, heavy); makes stable debut back over hurdles off a 9lb lower mark, but may not be as effective over timber and ground also a question. |

Point-to-point runner-up posted a nice performance when upped to 3m for the first time at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); beaten 6l that day but was well clear of the third; good claimer takes off 5lb; big player. |

Made instant impact over fences at Navan off 84 (3m, soft to heavy) and ran off the same mark back over hurdles when following up with a 10l at this venue (3m, heavy); not beaten far in third under a fixed penalty at Naas; obvious chance of his marginally low chase mark. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 180y |

Made the breakthrough over fences at Navan off 84 (3m, soft to heavy) and ran off the same mark back over hurdles when following up at Clonmel last time by 10l (3m, heavy); carries a 7lb penalty now but most likely winner as long as this doesn't come too soon after a slog in the mud 6 days ago. |

Hurdles form is undeniably weak, and he failed to run to meet expectations as joint-favourite when fifth in a 2m4f handicap at this venue last month; however, he bolted up when tackling this trip on his chase debut at Navan nine day later; will be hard to beat if that improvement is sustained. |
