4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; last two runs have been respectable but looks held by Harbour Highway and Lisleigh Lad on Leopardstown running; rider Phidelma Elvin won this in 2023. |

Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; two below-par displays at that venue before signs of a return to form when fourth over 2m2f there on latest. |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
10st 7lb |
Five-time winner under Rules, with both his chase wins coming at this track on good ground in a 2m2f beginners' and in this race last year; just 2lb higher since his win last year but beaten fairly comprehensively in three summer starts and pulled up around here last month (2m5f, yielding); comes into the race in lesser form than last year. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; he's finished in the first three in two points this year and could be involved returning to rules action. |

Won over extended 2m5f last year and was leading when exiting two out on his next start; hasn't been finishing out his races lately and not sure this longer trip will help matters. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |

Won this race last year with plenty to spare under this rider; three failures to complete since then make him a risky proposition; however, not badly handicapped if he can put in an error-free round. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
10yo who's had 70 races (only one of today's rivals has managed even half that) and won 11; latest was the 3m5f cross-country at Cheltenham Festival, comfortably holding off Favori De Champdou for career-best form off the same mark as today; having taken so well to that discipline (he also won there in December) and produced his best performances away from soft ground, he has to be considered seriously. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) in December, winning quite comfortably by just over 4l; weakened into fifth in soft-ground C&D contest won by Favori De Champdou in January but ran well for a long way and ought to be better suited by the less testing conditions today; each-way claims at least. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |

High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) last month, leading from the ninth fence and beating J'Arrive De L'Est quite comfortably by over 4l; went up 9lb for that, though, and may not be ideally suited by the slower ground today. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
10st 2lb |
First reserve; won this last year off 9lb higher and then went close at Uttoxeter in a handicap chase the following month but has completely lost form since; yard amongst winners recently but he's hard to fancy on recent showings; new headgear combo needs to spark. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |

Four-time hurdles winner had been expected (9-2) to leave recent poor form behind upong encountering better ground at Down Royal over fences 11 days ago but the revival never arrived; questions to answer now. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

He's a different horse on good ground, so forget his recent form figures on soft; won twice this time last year and excellent second over this trip in valuable handicap at Uttoxeter; revival expected here with conditions to suit and yard had welcome high-profile winner on Saturday. |

Three-time chase winner is 2-24 over timber, including a win here on heavy over 2m4f; rated 22lb higher over fences but has been out of sorts since winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June; first time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination needs to spark a revival. |

C&D winner who is 4-18 over fences; won off 124 at Ballinrobe in May (2m3f, good); beaten 17l in Midlands National at Kilbeggan and never figured at Gowran latest off a tough mark; more needed but all of his wins have been off the back of a bad run so he's not out of it. |

Won 2m5f Thurles mares' beginners' chase in 2022 for Henry de Bromhead; only six runs since then, including fourth behind Kiltealy Park in this race last year, absent since pulled up behind several of these here in November; hard to fancy on return, especially given she's 6lb wrong here. |
