6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 2lb |
Has been making hay in claiming hurdles this year and has won four of his last six starts; dropped back in trip to 2m4f to complete a trio of claimers at Clonmel on penultimate (good to yielding); found to be blowing hard post-race and had a graze when tailed off over fences here last time; of obvious interest back in claimer company, although best form is on softer. |

10st 6lb |
1-7 over fences; has won four of last five starts, including his last run in a handicap chase at Limerick in March (2m7f, heavy); just 3lb higher here and advertised well-being with a claiming hurdle win at Clonmel 25 days ago (19.5f, gd-yld); not out of this. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |

In receipt of plenty of weight from Qaasid when beating that rival in claimer at Clonmel in February; remote second in another claimer a week later; headgear removed for stable debut. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); has shown nothing in four chase starts for this yard; return to hurdling at this level needs to spark a revival. |

Bagged third career hurdles win at Navan in November (2m4f, soft to heavy) off 98; poor in four starts since; needs to bounce back. |

Bagged third career hurdles win at Navan in November (2m4f, soft to heavy) off 98; poor in three starts since (one over fences); needs to bounce back to his best and others better treated. |

Won over 2m4f here in November (heavy), his third career win over hurdles; pulled up off 10lb higher back here next time (3m1f, sft-hvy) and then well beaten in a beginners' chase at Punchestown latest; needs to bounce back. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdle and chase winner who has won off higher marks in the past; not shown enough this year in recent months in either sphere to suggest a revival is imminent. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |

Dual hurdle and chase winner has regressed after a decent comeback run in December from a long absence, so questions remain. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
12st 0lb |
Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form. |

12st 0lb |
Struggled with consistency towards the end of his time in Ireland, and failed to stay 3m6f on April's stable debut; more in his favour here, but others more persuasive. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
3-24 over hurdles and 1-8 as a chaser; left Gavin Cromwell after finishing tailed off in a claiming hurdle in early March (tried blinkers); needs a revival and he's got a lot of weight. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Won twice over fences last September and not a bad chase run at Perth last time; poor on last hurdles run behind Rocky's Howya in March; others preferred. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |
10/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 3lb |
Back-to-back chase wins at Galway (2m7f, good to yielding) and this venue (3m, yielding) last September; best of five subsequent runs when afair sixth at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) in January; struggled over hurdles last time; first-time blinkers. |
