17th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Back to form when third at Navan in a handicap hurdle he was placed in the previous year; tailed off and pulled up in his last two chases but has won in this discipline and could have a say. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |

Got off the mark over hurdles when winning at Fairyhouse in November but was pulled-up at Gowran since; down 1lb and has to bounce back. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner was rewarded for his consistency over hurdles when scoring decisively at Fairyhouse in November (24.5f, heavy); the second and third have won since; 8lb higher but has to be in the shake-up again. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Point-to-point winner was narrowly denied here in February (2m4f, heavy) off 6lb lower; solid runs in defeat the last twice at Galway over 22.5f; stamina to prove for this trip, big chance if he stays (positive signals in pedigree). |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 3lb |
Without a win since landing the 2022 Irish Grand National; much reduced mark nowadays is for a reason; visor replaces cheekpieces but remains opposable. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Without a win since landing the 2022 Irish Grand National; fell four out in a handicap hurdle here on New Year's Day; has come down 12lb in the ratings since pulled up in last year's Irish Grand National; rider Joanna Walton was aboard for a C&D win in 2021; needs a major revival but not ruled out. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |

Without a win since landing the 2022 Irish Grand National; rated 22lb lower over hurdles but recent chase runs do not suggest a return to winning ways is imminent; others appeal more. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 3lb |
A 19-race maiden over hurdles but a player judged on C&D third off 13lb higher in March 2025 and good fourth at Down Royal on return off 8lb higher; sent off 13-2 when well beaten behind Gangster Granny latest but she's becoming well treated now. |
14/1 |

13th 6 |
8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |

An 18-race maiden over hurdles; one of her better runs when fourth at Down Royal in March; remote ninth over 3m at the same venue last time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
No wins from 21 starts but some good efforts all the same, including when a close second here in a 2023 maiden (2m4f, soft); returned from an absence here last time when keeping on for a 14.5l fourth (2m5f, yielding); that should have brought her on. |

10st 9lb |
Relishes testing conditions and took advantage of them twice this season at Limerick when winning a 2m5f Limerick handicap hurdle and a 2m2f handicap chase; up 16lb compared to his win over timber at Punchestown when well beaten and found it similarly difficult off his revised chase mark at Gowran last time (2m4f, heavy); others more likely. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

Maiden ran well a couple of times in May-June but disappointing efforts the last twice; best form is on good ground; others appeal more. |

Maiden ran well when a 1.75l runner up at Limerick (2m6f, good) in May and again when third at Kilbeggan (3m, good) in June; has to bounce back from a poor effort at the latter venue on latest though. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |
11st 2lb |
A winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good); okay fourth when switched to chasing on his final start for Gavin Cromwell; now tries the Flat for the first time on stable debut but his jump form doesn't give much encouragement. |

Respectable form in maiden hurdles; fell when favourite on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; beaten 40l next time at Clonmel; raced keenly when third at Bellewstown; winning favourite at Cork last week; trip and ground should suit for this switch to chasing. |
