29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Won the Grade 1 novice here last year, beating stablemate Ballyburn; has experienced a torrid campaign after starting off with a second placing over 2m; remote seventh behind Fact To File in the Irish Gold Cup; not a bad effort in the Grand National; making up the numbers here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The furthest he's been is 3m1f in Grade 1 novice at Punchestown Festival (good to yielding) last April which he won in good style, showing improved form; went close over 2m in November and although he slipped up next time and met with heavy defeats twice since, he went well enough to the home turn in Irish Gold Cup on latest; whether he'll stay 4m2f is a big question but he could outrun his odds for a long way. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |

Grade 1 novice hurdle winner came back from a long absence last season; won three races as a novice chaser, notably a Grade 1 win at Punchestown over 3m1f; a fine second to the 11lb-receiving Only By Night over 2m at Naas on return; clipped heels and unseated rider early on in the Savills; race may have come too soon when disappointing at Tramore four days later. |

Maiden hurdle winner here in 2023 (2m7f, heavy); chase form last season just okay and he has been unseen since pulling up at Navan in a Listed handicap last March; Rokathir is the stable first string. |

Maiden hurdle winner over 2m7f last season before an ambitious Albert Bartlett run; beaten 11l when runner-up to the smart Champ Kiely on chasing debut at Fairyhouse; failed to match that display in a Gowran contest in which Willie Mullins saddled five of the first six home. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 8lb |
0-8 over fences and hasn't won since scoring over hurdles at Ayr in April 2024; failed to complete in two of three starts this season and beaten 63l at Leopardstown when he did get around; top yard and mark tumbling but hard to make a case for on form. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 3lb |
Point, bumper and dual hurdles winner has been out of form in final runs of last season and outings in this; pulled up on seasonal debut at Cork and tailed off in a grade 3 handicap at Leopardstown when last seen at 80-1; needs to come back to his best. |

Dual hurdle winner is yet to score in six chase starts and was poor the last three times, so isn't easy to make a case for. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |
11st 12lb |
Won a novice handicap at the 2023 Christmas fixture at Leopardstown; kept good company over fences last season; made a pleasing return to hurdling on seasonal return at Galway when a close third (2m6f, yielding); well backed in a Fairyhouse Listed handicap when last seen in November; fell at the final flight when 1l ahead; up 3lb for that but considered. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 200y |

Sole win came at 2m, has form over further but not this far; jumping was a let down over fences last term and returns to hurdles here; others preferred given stamina doubts. |

Decent winning hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere; similar efforts in defeat in two novice chases this term behind quality rivals and will have to do much more to score today. |

Dual hurdles winner won on handicap chase debut here in November (3m, soft) off 110; poor in two handicaps after, as well as in a novice contest here (2m5f, yielding) last time when 73l behind Nelson County. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner got off the mark chasing around here at the fifth attempt back from a break on handicap debut over 3m in November (soft); pulled up after a bad mistake at Cork 19 days later but appeared to have few excuses for his 28l seventh at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); capable of getting involved on his best day. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner last season; well beaten on handicap debut (upped to 3m1f) in December and his two attempts over fences since have not gone at all well; headgear is now enlisted; needs a radical revival but he's also unexposed. |

11st 12lb |
Point and hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but has lots of fine efforts to his name; only beaten 13l in the competitive Topham Chase at Aintree last time; this is a bit easier so has to be on the shortlist even though is unproven over this far. |
5/2 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 over fences and 14l behind Madara when sixth of 23 in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; however, that was still a respectable run and the fact he represents Willie Mullins, who has won three of the last six runnings and saddles three today, means he's not discounted. |
25/1 |
|
6th 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Winless after ten chase starts but he ran two cracking races at about 2m4f on the New course here (good to soft and good) last spring off much the same mark as today's; has more to prove on this season's form but he has revival potential now back on less testing ground than last time and returned to a course that suits. |
