10st 6lb |
Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside. |

10st 12lb |
Gained the most recent of his three chase wins in a 2m3f handicap on good ground at Ballinrobe last May; lacks a recent run but trip/ground in his favour so local challenger respected. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 1lb |
Rated 6lb lower over hurdles; solid second at Ballinrobe over fences when last seen (2m3f, good); less impressive in two hurdle starts this year, last seen over timber with a midfield finish at the Punchestown festival (2m, yielding); this distance is likely his minimum. |

2nd 8 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 136y |

In good form over both hurdles and fences last summer on good ground, winning over hurdles at Punchestown; runner-up over fences at Limerick in March; unplaced twice over hurdles more recently. |

11st 5lb |
Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |
18/1 |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Kilbeggan specialist with a couple of handicap chase wins in 2023 (including this race) and landed 2m2f handicap hurdle in April; fair third off higher chase mark at Ballinrobe since; 3lb wrong here but respected given his record here. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 |
26th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 10lb |
Gained his tenth success (and first for this stable) when taking a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kilbeggan a month ago; most recent chase run saw him finish second to Flash De Touzaine at Limerick on stable debut; good chance he can reverse that form and go close in the process. |

Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 4lb |
Won the big race on this card three years ago, but handicapper had him after that and well held in this last year; recent form in points/hunter chases doesn't look good enough, but has been dropped sharply in the ratings. |

Pair of Limerick wins last season and fair fourth to Supreme Jet at Wexford on latest chase start; well beaten in last year's renewal and best on testing ground. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner is 0-23 over hurdles; rated 12lb lower in this sphere but failed to exploit his lesser mark on last start over timber at Gowran; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |
33/1 |
|
4th 11 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
In good form this season, gaining second Limerick win last month, coming late under patient ride to win going away (2m4f) on preferred heavy ground; nudged up to near career-high mark now and quicker ground a slight concern. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 10lb |
Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |
14/1 |

3rd 10 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Irish challenger who could be in the picture judged on his good form at Killarney last summer, and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts and has to get back on track. |

Veteran 4-time chase winner; ran with credit over timber at Sligo in July but lacklustre efforts twice, including back over fences last month; still above highest winning mark and easy to look elsewhere. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Veteran six-time winner; Veteran is rated 10lb lower than over fences; second at Sligo last time gives him a slight edge over Pahlavi; this looks like a stronger race. |

Prolific winner in points (11-21); lightly raced since winning six times in 2022; twice successful in hunter chases but never as convincing over racecourse fences as in points; not easy to assess at this stage |
