2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 4lb |
Much improved to win 3m Navan beginners' in January on testing ground; stiff tasks since, too keen and didn't get home in Brown Advisory and never counted when pulled up in Irish National; cheekpieces added now and has a bit to prove off this mark. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Big improvement on third chase start when beating Slade Steel at Navan (3m, soft to heavy) in January; runner-up had his measure that day before stamina came into it, so it's hard to imagine he is up to this higher level. |

1-5 over hurdles and rated 129; a distant fourth behind stablemate Jimmy Du Seuil in a strong beginners' event at Fairyhouse on chase debut; made a couple of mistakes and was tailed off in the Fairyhouse event in which stablemate Kaid D'Authie beat Wingmen. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Supreme winner two seasons ago; 0-7 in the meantime and has been chasing, last time beaten the thick end of 20l when one of the favourites for the 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham; if this return to hurdling and the first-time cheekpieces float his boat, then he might not be far away. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has form on most types of ground; consistent sort who has never finished out of the first three in his completed starts; broadly suffering from a frustrating bout of seconditis since switched to chasing (2m4f/3m) but this return to Cheltenham may prove the cure, as he won the 2024 Supreme in sole attempt at this venue; major Irish stable landed this corresponding prize in 2019; on an attractive mark and holds solid claims. |

2nd 6 |
17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won 2024 Supreme Novices'; beaten odds-on favourite but decent form in two beginners' chases last season, notably when second to Brown Advisory winner Lecky Watson at Naas; off for a year before second to Predators Glory over an extended 2m4f at this venue; stepped up to this trip at Punchestown, one length down when brought down four out; worth another chance. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences; ran well in a beginners' here in November but beaten 21l and pulled up in first two handicap chases at Punchestown and Cheltenham; others have more appealing profiles. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
7yo who is lightly raced over fences and represents top Irish yard; went close at Fairyhouse in November on second chase start but his form has gone the wrong way since and he was soundly beaten at Punchestown last month in his first handicap chase; ninth in the Pertemps Final here last March. |

15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner; failed to add to a maiden hurdle win; remote third behind top-class stablemate Romeo Coolio on chase debut at Down Royal; went close in less demanding company over 2m4f at Fairyhouse; has failed to build on that in races at Leopardstown and Navan; cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Off the mark over fences at this venue in March (2m2f, heavy); backed that up with solid runs at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (3m1f, soft) before a career-best in first-time blinkers, winning the Galway Blazers, handling better ground effectively; jumped untidily and was pulled up in the Kerry National; could bounce back. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |

Off the mark over fences at Limerick in March (2m2f, heavy); backed that up with solid runs at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (3m1f, soft) before a career-best in first-time blinkers, beating A Penny A Hundred in the Galway Blazers, handling better ground effectively; raised 8lb and stepping up in class now. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Off the mark over fences at Limerick in March (2m2f, heavy) off 10lb lower; has backed that up with solid runs at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yld-sft) and when 4.25l behind Hermino AA at Roscommon (3m1f, soft); 5lb better off with that rival and kept ticking over with a spin on the Flat 11 days ago but might prefer it softer; blinkers on. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Won a Grade 3 hurdle over this trip in 2025 but hasn't repeated that form since; some fair runs in defeat over fences this season but has to get back to his best returned to hurdles; yard second-string. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Useful 128-rated hurdler last season, including a Grade 3 win; well beaten over various trips in four beginners' chases this season, fourth behind King Alexander at Gowran was his best effort; tailed off in the Leinster National at Naas last time when 3m1f on soft to heavy may have been too far; 13lb to find on ratings with Sandor Clegane, but that rival is not the most solid. |

Wide margin winner of an ordinary contset at Wexford in March; mixed bag since and not done many favours by his jumping at Galway latest; small field and possibly slower gallop may help but more needed in any case. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced for a horse of his age; won a 2m4f beginners' event at Naas in March on his third start over fences; did well to finish 6l third behind stablemate Funiculi Funicula in a 22-runner handicap at Punchestown in May (2m4f, yielding); dropped away after a mistake two out in the Galway Plate; raced keenly at times, will need to settle better. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner; beat Ballygunner Castle to get off the mark as a chaser at Naas and for one so inexperienced he did well to finish a 6l third behind Funiculi Funicula in a 22-runner handicap at Punchestown in May (2m4f, yielding); has low mileage for a 9yo and there could be more to come; finished second in a bumper on one previous visit to Galway. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

One of eight for trainer; bumper and dual winning hurdler had no chance when a faller on chasing debut at Navan in January (3m, soft to heavy) and was a moderate fourth of seven here next time (2m7f, heavy); much better when seeing off better-fancied stablemate Ballygunner Castle at Naas by 0.5l last time (2m4f, soft to heavy); in the mix on handicap chase debut. |
