2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 4lb |
Much improved to win 3m Navan beginners' in January on testing ground; stiff tasks since, too keen and didn't get home in Brown Advisory and never counted when pulled up in Irish National; cheekpieces added now and has a bit to prove off this mark. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Big improvement on third chase start when beating Slade Steel at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) in January; runner-up had his measure that day before stamina came into it, so it's hard to imagine he is up to this higher level. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Won the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle last year (2m4f, good); ended the season with second over C&D; all three runs this season in Grade 1s, third in the Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft), fifth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good), third behind Home By The Lee at Aintree; could be in the mix for Teahupoo's trainer. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle here 12 months ago (2m4f, good); just two runs in current campaign and they've been positive performances in Grade 1s, finishing third in the Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) and fifth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good); this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer back here in a first-time tongue-tie; chance. |
3/1 |

5th 7 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Stayed on well to win 2m4f Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (good) last April and suited by the step up in trip when close second in Grade 1 at Punchestown (3m, yielding) later that month, when clear with Jasmin De Vaux who was impressive in the Albert Bartlett here previously; promising third behind Impose Toi in the Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December on sole run this winter, and this very lightly raced 6yo has the potential to take high rank in the staying hurdle division. |

One of two for yard; had Kool One 3.5l behind when beaten 11l into second of 11 on chase debut at Wexford 44 days ago, despite not jumping fluently at times; may have needed that and cheekpieces might sharpen up his jumping; preferred by O'Keefe. |

Justified short odds to win a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in November (2m, sft-hvy); placed in both handicap hurdle starts since, over this C&D (sft-hvy) and back at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yld-sft); new blinkers could eke out more; player. |
