5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of four) in the Kingwell Hurdle on return from layoff and debut for new stable; drops back in class but needs to prove he's still capable of reproducing best Irish form. |
66/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Flat, chase and dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien but he was out of sorts under both codes in his final two runs in Ireland; now returns to hurdling for new yard and this is a daunting task after 139 days off; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Blinkered first time when third of 14 on his handicap debut in this sphere at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January and off the mark over fences when landing fairly valuable event at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month; 22-1 and pulled up in Listed novice handicap last time but that had the makings of a warm event and he needs respecting. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 11lb |
Improved since going handicapping, decent Thurles effort followed by 2m Gowran win last month on heavy under a positive ride from today's rider; 5lb higher and this looks a much stronger race. |
7/1 |

1st 5 |
7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Second on his first two starts over fences last April/May; remote seventh behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan in November; below-par when sharing favouritism in a Punchestown conditions hurdle in December; ran out of steam late on handicap chase debut over 2m5f at Thurles, 2m may suit better. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Four wins over hurdles (rated 130), one of them here; maiden after 10 chase starts and has had jumping issues, but was second off 120 at Roscommon last summer; only beaten 7l in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown where he was a huge price. |

10st 13lb |
Maiden who was a huge price when down the field in a beginners' event here on Friday; beaten 18l in fourth behind Blood Destiny at Listowel in June; better effort when third in a five-runner contest at Punchestown. |
40/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Maiden gave his best run over fences last time at Punchestown when a 6l third of five (3m1f, good to yielding); beaten a long way in two starts prior to that; hard to see him getting involved. |

Seven-race maiden has yet to trouble the judge under Rules (0-4 over hurdles); well beaten on handicap chase debut latest; now makes handicap hurdle bow; others preferred. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 7lb |
Six-race maiden under Rules is 0-2 in chases; showed a glimmer of ability when fifth in a beginners' at Tramore (2m6f, good) in May but was still beaten 23l; best watched dropped back in trip on handicap chase debut. |
33/1 |
