30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 10lb |
Failed to win over hurdles, second in three of his six starts; has developed into a better chaser; bolted up at Fairyhouse, form franked by the second Moudan in winning at Ayr; 11lb rise means that he has plenty to find in a renewal of Leopardstown rivalry with Raffles Dolce Vita. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 0lb |
Maiden ran well in defeat over hurdles and pick of three efforts over fences on latest when chasing home an all-the-way winner in 2m1f Leopardstown beginners last month (yielding); worth a look on handicap debut. |

A maiden over hurdles but has run some fine races in defeat, including here last time; previously ran well facing stiff tasks in two novice chases; can be involved. |

10st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner is rated 128 in that sphere; hasn't been as good over fences in four starts but best effort came when fourth in a Clonmel novice last time; raced a bit awkwardly then; will need plenty more today. |
9/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Rated 130 over hurdles but yet to replicate that level over fences; beaten a cumulative distance of 97l in first three chases at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding), Galway (22.5f, yielding) and Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner is rated 130 in that sphere but was soundly beaten in two novice chases last October; needs to do a lot better but doesn't have form in this sort of ground. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 8lb |
Two-time hurdles winner is 0-5 in chases; out of form in 2026 but has yet to get his favoured good ground; could go well in first-time cheekpieces with conditions to suit. |
7/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Hard to fancy on the evidence of his four runs over fences this year; however, he's well handicapped on last summer's hurdle form and he's from a respected Irish stable; one to watch in the betting. |
13/2 |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 6lb |
One of two for trainer; point-to-point winner added his second hurdles win at Listowel in June off 116 (2m, good); poor form shown in three recent beginners' chases but this is his first handicap chase and the fact Donoghue chooses him over Kazakh d'Arthel looks significant. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
130-rated hurdler; fair efforts on first two chase runs, though was beaten by longer-priced stablemate Port Joulain at Fairyhouse in January; beaten falling at the last in a Leopardstown event that has been well advertised by the 8l runner-up Come Walk With Me in landing handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Smart hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere and has won in heavy ground; solid efforts on both chase runs, though was beaten by a longer-priced stablemate last time; comes out a clear best at these weights, though, and has a good opportunity to go one better. |
4/6 |

2nd 8 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 5lb |
One of three for trainer; useful hurdler was fourth in the Grade 2 Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but was below that in final two runs last season; made a positive course debut over fences last month (2m, soft) when taking the runner-up spot and jumping well in the main; should be able to get off the mark over fences here. |
