22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 0lb |
Rewarded for some consistent efforts when getting up close home for a game success at Kilbeggan two weeks ago; sound jumper and stays well so might not be far away. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
No win over fences since 2023 but is in good heart; beaten a neck at Kilbeggan (20.5, good) last month and beaten 15l into fifth in Galway Blazers eight days ago, may have made a better go of it but for being caught in a pocket between the final two fences; his third start in just over two weeks but chance if he doesn't feel the effects of that. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 6lb |
Hasn't won over fences since 2023 but comes into this in good form; beaten just a neck in a Kilbeggan handicap chase (20.5f, good) on latest; raised 1lb for that and this is tougher but has run well on both previous visits to this venue so not totally discounted. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Last of two chase wins came in 2m6f Galway Blazers in 2023 off this mark; interrupted campaign in recent years, pulled up on three of last four starts including in Mayo National last time; hard to make a case for on recent evidence. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 72y |
11st 7lb |
Course winner over hurdles; two-time chase winner in 2023, including the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) off 130; ran a decent race in this last year, beaten 11.25l into fourth off 138; 5lb lower now but lacks a run and was out of form when last seen. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 6 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

Two bumper wins for Joseph O'Brien; maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott; best hurdles form at Kilbeggan, placed on his only start at this venue; long absence to overcome. |

10st 5lb |
Sole hurdle win came here; fairly consistent of late, including a 6l defeat in the Pertemps on his penultimate start and a 5l defeat at Punchestown last month; remains on a good mark and this looks a little easier. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y |

Won well over 3m on testing ground last winter; questions after being pulled-up on last two starts wearing blinkers; cheekpieces replace them today. |

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when winning by 9l at Fairyhouse in November (3m); his Bangor third was okay but he ran no race in the new blinkers at Downpatrick three months ago. |
