Recent novice win was gained at 2m4f at Clonmel; however, worth bearing in mind that he also boasts useful form over this course and trip. |

Solid efforts in first three chase starts at Punchestown twice (16.5f, heavy) and last time when a close second at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); the third, fourth and fifth have won over hurdles and fences since; freshened up and big chance upped in trip (has placed form at 19.5f). |

One of two for trainer; point/hurdle/bumper winner was a beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) off 118; never travelling when pulled up next time at Naas (2m4f, heavy); back on track when run down late on at Navan (3m, soft to heavy); up 4lb for that effort but in the mix. |

Point/hurdle/bumper winner was beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding); raised 6lb for that but was never travelling in a Naas Listed event last time (2m4f, heavy); needs to bounce back. |

Solid efforfts in defeat in two maiden hurdles and two out of four of his bumper runs; was runner-up in a stronger bumper than this at Wexford last time and sets the standard; cheekpieces added. |

Showed ability without winning in bumpers and maiden hurdles for Kevin O'Donnell; disappointing stable debut as 4/5 fav' at Limerick last month and has questions to answer after that. |

3rd 7 |
10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |

Placed in a point-to-point; 0-4 under Rules for Kevin O'Donnell but placed in a Gowran maiden hurdle and a Navan bumper (2m, sft-hvy) on latest where he had a subsequent winner 6l behind; has joined Gavin Cromwell and should go well. |

Shaped well on racecourse debut in January 2025, beaten 12.5l by Coral River; below that form twice since but ran fine in a decent beginners on chase debut at Fairyhouse lto, beaten 36l into sixth; may be one for the longer-term but open to plenty of improvement and an interesting contender. |

Promise in his opening maiden hurdle fourth but tailed off in his last two runs, including at Cork last month; sent chasing now but would be an unlikely winner. |

10st 12lb |
Promise last season before getting off the mark at Clonmel on return in May and similar level of form when third in a Punchestown novice hurdle since; needs to improve to defy this mark on handicap debut but unexposed and not ruled out. |

Got off the mark on the fourth attempt last time in a mares' maiden hurdle at Clonmel; the ground could be key to her chances as her best form has come on good; her win last time was coming after a break so she is entitled to improve again. |

In front of Keilah when fifth at Navan on debut; beaten 1.75l when third at Naas (2m) next time (form has worked out); weak in the betting late on when a disappointing favourite at Gowran in January with testing ground possibly the culprit; ought to go well. |

Sound efforts in first two handicaps and held every chance when falling at the last at Thurles in October (22.5f, gd-yld); below best the last twice but could rebound dropped in trip and returned to better ground; cheekpieces on. |

Lightly raced mare took a step forward on return to action a fortnight ago, appreciating step up in trip when finishing a clear second to Sallap over this trip; 4lb rise seems okay . |

Showed little in three maidens but showed slight improvement to take fourth of 17 on handicap debut at Limerick in April (2m3f, good); that form has taken some knocks and needs to improve all the same. |

Maiden is rated 106 after four chase runs, the best of which was a 22l seventh in strong Fairyhouse beginners' chase in December (2m, soft, RPR 116); poor twice since over fences and hurdles but big claims on that Fairyhouse run in this company. |

Winless from nine starts under rules' and yet to get any closer than 22l to the winner; longer trip and better ground here but hard to fancy on form. |

Lightly raced 5yo showed some promise in a Navan maiden in the spring, most recently badly hampered early on when never counting on chasing debut here last month; not an obvious one entering handicaps but tried blinkered; rider had a winner at Roscommon on Monday. |

Improved heaps returning from a break to finish sixth of 15 in a Tipperary maiden hurdle 17 days ago when sent off at odds of 100-1; prior to that was unsighted in a point-to-point and a maiden hurdle; he is going the right way. |
