19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Successful once during a spell over fences that ended poorly; two attempts back over hurdles represent no improvement on previous form in this sphere; difficult task in this field, despite receiving weight all round. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over fences at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and ran well when back over hurdles there (2m4f, good) this month; remains on a workable mark and is 2-2 at this track; shortlisted. |

11st 13lb |
Might have won over fences here in June but for a bad late mistake (2m4f, good) but, while her Grade 3 assignment at Galway can be forgiven, she was never at the races last time at Perth; could appreciate returning to hurdles and her mark is fine. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Third in a Listed handicap over 2m6f at Galway (good) last summer; didn't enjoy much luck on next two starts (still in the lead when falling two out at Haydock in February) but he was well held in a big-field 2m5f handicap at Cheltenham last month; the cheekpieces worn on that occasion are discarded; still not fully exposed, particularly at 3m. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
His four handicaps were over longer trips, notably when third at the Galway festival (extended 2m6f, good) last August; hampered and pulled up here in October, before falling in a narrow lead two out in 3m Pertemps qualifier at Haydock (20-1) last month; needs improvement and better luck but represents Willie Mullins and is far from fully exposed; first-time headgear too. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Kept on well for third in Listed handicap hurdle at the Galway festival (2m6f, good) in August; looked to be going okay when hampered soon after three out and pulled up sharply in a similar race to this at Cheltenham in October; off since; this soft-ground winner remains fairly unexposed for his top Irish stable. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Justified favouritism in C&D handicap (soft) on Clarence House day, taking chase record to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-6; yard landed this prize in 2024; respected with further progress on the cards. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Overall record of 3-5 includes Carlisle success (2m5f) on chase debut; didn't quite get home over 3m1f when beaten favourite at Cheltenham (good to soft) since and this slight drop back in distance looks a plus; treated as still open to further improvement. |
