Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; continues to show plenty of zest, in front of Piccolo Player when third at Naas 13 days ago. |

Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; weakened into a 19.5l third here last time (2m3f, heavy); 13l behind Peaceinthevalley on that occasion; hit the front early that day, so perhaps can get closer more patiently ridden. |

11st 7lb |
Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in a valuable event in Killarney; highly tried later in the year; made mistakes and finished in rear over C&D on return. |

Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in valuable event in Killarney; too much on his plate backend of last year and returns on an okay mark. |

Dual hurdle winner is 2-25 over fences but placed many times; lost his form over the summer but a bit better at Cork last time; needs a fair bit more. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 6lb |
Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

Dual bumper and hurdles winner for Peter Fahey but not as good a chaser last season; changed yards and reverts to hurdles off reduced mark and goes well fresh. |

10st 5lb |
Won at Kilbeggan in May (20.5f, good) off 117 and far from disgraced off 122 in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good); below best in listed handicap chase at Killarney (2m5f) latest; could rebound returned to a right-handed track, though this trip might be sharp enough. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Two-time winning hurdler; improved on two beginners' chase starts to win on handicap bow over fences at Kilbeggan in June off 117 (2m4f, good); solid runs in defeat the last twice following her victory, including a 4.75l sixth in a valuable Galway handicap chase last time (2m6f, good); in good form at the moment. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

5th 1 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles; heavy ground a valid excuse on latest and is 4lb lower than when a 9l runner up in a much stronger race than this at Cork (17.5f, good) in October; has run well here before and he's a player. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Two chase wins in 2024 (including a novice over C&D) but it has been slim pickings since then; no joy in 2025 and modest run at Wexford on return from a break on latest; on a dangerous mark but needs a revival. |
22/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Four hurdle wins and two over fences, both coming in 2024; however, has not been at his best recently in either sphere; dropping in weights helps. |

10st 6lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-38 over fences with last win coming at Kilbeggan in August last year; jumping awry when pulled up in his two most recent starts in December; suited by better ground but others preferred. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-35 over fences; is 9lb below his last win and was still going okay when unseating three out at Cork (16.5f, good) on penultimate; 2m5f may have stretched him on latest at Clonmel; good ground key. |
