10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
After minor wins in Ireland he went off 50-1 for the 2m5f Grade 1 Turners at Cheltenham but he defied those odds to finish third, in spite of so much going wrong during the race (got behind after suffering interference); the manner in which he stayed on offers plenty of encouragement for this extra yardage; it's a nagging concern that only four 5yos have won this since 1988 but intriguing otherwise. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Safely held when second to Riskaway at Thurles (2m4f, good to yielding) but improved since; followed a wide-margin win there (yielding to soft) by responding well for pressure to score at Navan (also 2m, soft to heavy); the step back up in trip is probably of little concern and he might surprise a few. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Placed on both bumper starts; beaten 1 1/4l by a subsequent maiden hurdle winner at Galway on the first occasion; no match for a short-priced Gordon Elliott inmate on hurdling debut over 2m4f at Thurles; recovered from a bad error two out when a runaway winner over 2m at Thurles four weeks ago; promising sort. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
11st 2lb |
Point-to-point winner won a Galway maiden (16.5f, yielding) on his hurdling debut in October; fell at the last when holding every chance in a 20.5f novice back there later that month; has pulled up in two of his last three starts and now makes handicap debut; risky. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 99y |
12st 0lb |
Point winner; scored easily on hurdle debut at Galway in October (2m, yielding) and might have followed up there (2m4f, good to yielding) later that month but for falling at the final flight; pulled up in a Grade 2 contest at Cheltenham; recent Navan third provides some reassurance. |

Point winner; scored easily on hurdle debut at Galway in October (2m, yielding) and might have follow up there (2m4f, good to yielding) later that month but for falling at the final flight; needs to bounce back after that and a poor Cheltenham run, stable out of form. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 8lb |
Two-time winner, both at Fairyhouse; won a 2m (soft) novice handicap off 109 there in December; added a 21.5f handicap (yld-sft) off 122 last month, scoring by 5.5l; 9lb rise for that seems fair; should be competitive again but wouldn't want to see too much rain (well beaten in four previous starts on soft to heavy). |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Sole success came in 2m handicap here in December on soft; followed that up with a solid second over 20.5f (gd-yld) at Leopardstown and just 2lb higher here; struggled at 2m on testing ground the last twice, but interesting now back up in trip at the scene of his only win with Cobden taking over. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Form in maidens was nothing special but took advantage of opening mark of 109 to win his second handicap start at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); solid second when 11-8 favourite in a novice handicap at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding); better than he showed at Navan last time when well beaten; appears to be the pick of the owner's two. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 90y |

Bumper winner in January 2025; rated 109 over hurdles and race-fit but probably best watched on Flat debut. |

Bumper winner has run with credit in five maiden hurdles without winning; is capable of running well on handicap debut but could be vulnerable too off top-weight. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Fairyhouse bumper winner; best hurdles run came at that venue last April when a 7l second (2m4f, yielding); well below that level in two runs this term and beaten 26l in C&D novice on latest; others make more appeal. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
11st 1lb |
Backed at big prices when scoring on hurdling debut at Gowran (2m, heavy) and best run yet on handicap debut over 2m7f at Punchestown in February, having to wait going to last but finishing his race out strongly on similar ground to win going away (third has won both chase starts since); 5lb rise looks workable, should go well. |

Fell in a point; backed at big prices when winning on hurdles debut at Gowran (2m, heavy); struggled when up in class and trip at Fairyhouse; faces a stiff task here. |

11st 12lb |
Tramore maiden hurdle winner sprang a surprise when winning a four-runner Thurles Grade 3 novice (21.5f, yld-sft) in February; that form has taken a few knocks since, however, and Paul Townend has jumped ship; more needed up in grade. |

Faded into a remote third in bumper at this venue last March; had a tongue-tie on when making a winning seasonal/hurdles debut at Tramore; a lot more on his plate now; merits respect all the same with the stable having hit top form. |
