27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Winning hurdler; fair maiden on the Flat; useful form in small-field hurdle races in the first half of last season; should improve from a run in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; was one of the outsiders then, and made some late headway, plenty of horses behind him. |

Dual-purpose; 1-10 over hurdles; soundly beaten off 2lb higher when last seen at Down Royal in November; others make more appeal. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Second Tramore success when easily seeing off nine rivals in a 2m1f handicap (soft; first win was on good) on New Year's Day; the handicapper hasn't missed him but there may be more to come for his leading Irish stable. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Reserve; improved effort when coming 13l clear in 2m1f handicap at Tramore (soft; both wins there) on New Year's Day; much higher mark here but he's low mileage and could progress again. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |
11st 4lb |
Steadily improved in maiden hurdles to get off the mark emphatically at Tramore in August when winning by 9l as odds-on favourite (2m, good); ran disappointingly in a novice hurdle last time, albeit up against Davy Crockett, when finished last of five; capable of better on handicap debut. |

11st 7lb |
Very smart performer on the Flat, including wins in the Ebor and Irish St Leger; has only run three times since 2022, two moderate efforts on the Flat and then won a 16.5f maiden hurdle here in May; off since and best form is on good ground so underfoot conditions a worry. |

11st 12lb |
Six-time winner on the Flat including the Ebor and Irish St Leger in 2021; off nearly three years and has been a long way below his best in two subsequent runs on the level for new yard; interesting switched to this sphere and wouldn't need to transfer all of his Flat ability to be a factor on hurdle bow; market may provide clues. |

11st 12lb |
Looked a hot prospect when winning his first three starts last summer but progress has stalled; heavy defeats on last four runs over timber, though testing ground probably not ideal for three of them; return to sounder surface a plus, so can't totally discount for top yard. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 3lb |
Looked a smart prospect last year but has failed to deliver in three runs this term, although was highly tried in his first two runs of 2026; never figured on handicap debut at Fairyhouse latest; down 2lb and tongue tie now reached for. |

10st 5lb |
Half-brother to 150-rated hurdler Mystical Power landed odds on opening three starts, including novice hurdles at the festival meetings of Galway and Listowel; way below best on heavy ground this term in Graded novices at Leopardstown and Naas however; remains unexposed on handicap debut, drying ground would suit; Walsh's pick. |

Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |

Bumper winner has won two of her three starts over hurdles; came up short when upped to listed class at Galway on latest; sole start on softer than good was poor and Townend prefers the prospects of Davy Crockett. |
100/30 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 2lb |
Struggled on heavy ground on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper but has won all three starts since on good ground, including over timber in Listowel maiden and impressive in 5-runner 2m Roscommon novice early this month, keen but making most and readily drawing away two out; slick jumper, can continue to progress and major player. |
