25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 6lb |
Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) in December but hasn't backed that up, most recently never counting when modest enough fourth at Fairyhouse; remains opposable. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (24.5f, yielding) in December off 3lb lower; unseated over 2m in a beginners' here, then finished a modest fourth over 3m6f at Cheltenham; 6lb lower here but needs to find extra to shed the maiden tag. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Maiden; 0-8 in chases; runner-up in the Dublin National over 3m4f at Leopardstown last March and over 3m at the same track in December, both on yielding ground; 2m in cheekpieces did not work out last time; right back up in trip today but needs a big career best. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |
10st 13lb |
Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy for Gavin Cromwell last season; pick of four attempts chasing on latest when outstayed late on by a well-handicapped rival in 2m7f Limerick handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); 3lb higher but should go well. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; point/hurdle/bumper winner was a beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) off 118; never travelling when pulled up next time at Naas (2m4f, heavy); back on track when run down late on at Navan (3m, soft to heavy); up 4lb for that effort but in the mix. |

Point/hurdle/bumper winner was beaten favourite in two beginners' chases before making immediate impact on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding); raised 6lb for that but was never travelling in a Naas Listed event last time (2m4f, heavy); needs to bounce back. |

Three-time point-to-point winner (twice on heavy); 1-5 over hurdles; solid run on third chase start at Listowel in September (2m6f, gd-yld); rated 125 and a repeat of that last run may be enough to take this. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Lightly-raced for his age; bumper winner has run well at times in defeat over hurdles; poor in two chase starts in November but can do better back in this sphere with blinkers added. |
9/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner is 0-4 over hurdles and rated 114; tongue tie worn for placed efforts at Punchestown and Navan returns and also wears cheekpieces; from the family of Master Minded so should make a chaser but might need this first run since April. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 4lb |
Two-time hurdle winner landed a first chase success in a Leopardstown beginners' last month (21.5f, yielding) with Killaney King over 7l back in third; has won at this trip over hurdles and his opening chase mark looks fair; ground fine too and could go well. |
7/1 |

1st 6 |
3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Lightly raced; 2-7 over hurdles, both wins at Limerick, appreciating a return to hurdles in December when scoring decisively off 112 (3m, soft to heavy); fair fourth at Gowran in January; two chase attempts raise a concern, jumped badly at Fairyhouse, fell at Cork. |

Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 114; pulled up at Fairyhouse on final 2025 start, and badly out of form over hurdles before that. |
