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. |

Solid form in 2m4f hurdles on heavy ground this time last year, winning at Fairyhouse and second here off 101; a long way below his best in three runs this season. |

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. |
11/4 |

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. |

8th 1 |
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. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 7lb |
In excellent form and has won two of her last three, both over C&D; is now 17lb higher than when winning easily here in May and this is stronger than the race she won last time but clearly loves this place and in the mix again. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Second reserve; off the mark over hurdles at the 20th attempt over C&D last month; couldn't follow up at Sligo off 10lb higher mark next time |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 162y |

Got off the mark over hurdles at the 20th attempt at Downpatrick over 2m6f last time; raised 10lb for that wide-margin score but a repeat of that effort can see her go close. |

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. |

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. |
