30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Won a Grade 3 hurdle over this trip in 2025 but hasn't repeated that form since; some fair runs in defeat over fences this season but has to get back to his best returned to hurdles; yard second-string. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Useful 128-rated hurdler last season, including a Grade 3 win; well beaten over various trips in four beginners' chases this season, fourth behind King Alexander at Gowran was his best effort; tailed off in the Leinster National at Naas last time when 3m1f on soft to heavy may have been too far; 13lb to find on ratings with Sandor Clegane, but that rival is not the most solid. |
2/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |

Useful 128-rated hurdler last season, including a Grade 3 win; well beaten over various trips at this venue in opening three beginners' chase outings in good company; shaped more promisingly in first-time blinkers at Gowran last time before fading tamely after making jumping errors; makes handicap chase debut now and 6lb wrong; needs to jump better. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 9lb |
Back to form with a bang at Fairyhouse under this rider latest, winning by 5l with a few of these behind; a 9lb rise for that seems fair but overall profile suggests he's far from guaranteed to back that up; obvious chance if he does. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner but has been poor on last three starts in handicaps, pulled up after never counting at DRF in February; cheekpieces added but very hard to be confident in (1lb wrong). |

Made winning handicap debut in Ireland in April 2025 but had disappointing campaign for new stable last season; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; needs to turn a corner. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won Cork handicap (2m3f, soft) on final start for Stuart Crawford 11 months ago; weakened quickly on stable debut in Chepstow Grade 2 (about 2m3f) in October before being well held in two chases in December; weakened again over 2m5f in Kempton's Lanzarote (good) last time but should do better given this significant drop in grade. |

The same owners as when trained in Ireland and impressed on his final start, a valuable handicap at Cork (2m3f, soft); did beat an exposed handicapper that day but this 5yo looks to have better days ahead of him. |

Top-class bumper horse but hasn't had a smooth run since; yet to win over hurdles but put up a decent effort last time at Punchestown; needs more but has won twice at this track and is on the shortlist. |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
Top-class bumper performer in 2022-23 season; encouraging enough hurdles debut at Fairyhouse a year ago but let down by jumping on more testing ground at Naas subsequently; switched to Flat this year, notably winning Leopardstown amateur maiden (good), most recently never sighted in Naas premier handicap; back hurdling here with concerns over jumping remaining. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 9lb |
Didn't hang around long over hurdles and solid form in first season over fences; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding) last month; hasn't raced beyond 2m4f but good chance if he stays (dam won hurdle over 2m4f). |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Has taken well to chasing this term, winning a 2m2f Clonmel beginners' (heavy) and good late headway for fourth behind Romeo Coolio in a Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m1f, yielding) over Christmas; good attitude when runner-up in a Down Royal novice chase in January (2m1f, yielding to soft); okay run when fifth in a Listed Naas handicap (2m4f, heavy) when last seen. |

Fair form over hurdles and has taken well to chasing this term, winning a 2m2f Clonmel beginners' (heavy) and good late headway to take fourth behind Romeo Coolio over Christmas in a Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m1f, yielding); another positive effort when runner-up in a Down Royal rated novice contest, rallying well (2m1f, yielding to soft); increase in trip looks a positive. |

Point-to-point winner last November and good form since, placing three times; 3.25l fourth at Clonmel earlier this month when last seen (2m, soft); still lightly raced and this ground shouldn't cause problems; claimer takes lessens her burden. |

Point-to-point winner in November; in good form for this yard since, placing in three of her four starts, headed in the dying strides when second of 22 at Cork a fortnight ago (2m1f, yielding); her worst run of late was at this track. |

Promise in three of five starts over hurdles and rated 113; was an 18l second behind Romeo Coolio here over 2m1f (gd-yld) back in November and not beaten far when sixth of 25 at Fairyhouse later that month; obvious chance in this company. |

Heading in the right direction (RPRs 98, 104, and 115) since joining Stuart Edmunds, afforded the run of the race when an easy winner at Catterick (2m Class 4, soft; 9-2) latest; steps up in grade from an 8lb higher mark; a noteworthy candidate around this sharp track. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |

A weak finisher in handicaps over 2m4f (good to soft) and 2m3f (soft) since trained in Britain but this free-going sound jumper shapes as though he will fare better now dropped to the shortest trip he's attempted; open to improvement. |

Left maiden form behind when taking third of 20 at Punchestown on handicap debut (3m, good to yielding); lesser run last time when beaten 22l at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); based on limited evidence, potentially prefers better ground. |
