22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
9yo who is lightly raced for his age; he needs to produce more than he managed at Leopardstown and Downpatrick last month on his first two chase starts but he wears first-time headgear today and Gordon Elliott's horses are always well worth a second look at Perth; could have a big say. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Consistent if frustrating in maiden hurdles before winning a 2m4f rated event at Fairyhouse early last year (soft); a latecomer in chasing; faded late in the Leopardstown event in which the much shorter-priced Strutter flopped. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Consistent in maiden hurdles before winning a 2m4f rated event at Fairyhouse early last year (soft); disappointed on handicap debut at Gowran; made no impact over 3m at Fairyhouse on his belated seasonal debut; latecomer to chasing now at the age of nine; can run well fresh. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |
9/1 |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Some fair efforts hurdling and ran okay in both beginners' chases; 9-1 for handicap bow over C&D last month, disputing lead when fell 4 out. |
8/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 3lb |
Some decent hurdle runs without winning; not bad efforts both chase starts but will have to find improvement for handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 |
3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Pick of hurdle form when fourth in 2m6f Navan maiden last March (heavy); from a staying jumping family; prominent for a long way when fourth on chase debut at Thurles in January; likely to need more experience. |
12/1 |
