31st May 2026 Good 1m 5f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Smart dual-purposer type got the Galway Hurdle in the stewards' room last summer and beat very useful Absurde in conditions' hurdle last month; his Flat run at Chester in September proved that he's worthy of this mark and showed he had a bit of boot when running well over 1m on AW pre-Cheltenham. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Won the Galway Hurdle last year off 145 (awarded race by stewards) and has also won twice on the level (rated 91); trip and ground fine here and he finished well ahead of Absurde in the County Hurdle last month, though he had a fitness edge that day; talented claimer takes off 5lb and every chance at the weights. |

12st 0lb |
Very smart hurdler whose two visits to this meeting have produced a third in the 2024 Fred Winter and second to Kargese in this last year; improved again to win last summer's Galway Hurdle (pipped by Helvic Dream but awarded the race after suffering interference); below par when remote third to Lossiemouth in Grade 1 Morgiana in November but warmed up for this with a fine run on AW Flat last month over a trip short of his best; while his good record in top handicap hurdles (also second in 2024 Galway Hurdle) makes him a dangerous one to discount, he'll require a high-class performance to win off 156. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); 2024 County Hurdle winner was well below his best in that race this season back from a break (2m1f, soft); improved display at Cork when 3.25l behind Ndaawi (16.5f, yielding); a good bit to find with Lossiemouth even if running to his rating, which he hasn't done so far this term. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Classy dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); below best after a break in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but should be sharper now and Harry Cobden has won on him before; top rated at 153 and obvious chance. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2024 and third last year, albeit off much lower marks; operated a little below his very best on the Flat last year, including in Australia in the autumn, which perhaps raises a few doubts as to whether he'll be able to find the career-best hurdle performance which will be needed to defy such a lofty mark. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 0lb |
Smart form as a younger horse but on losing run since Grade 2 success at Limerick in December 2022; a step in the right direction in a 2m Cork conditions hurdle on latest but he's unproven at this trip; 4lb wrong and hard to fancy. |

3rd 6 |
5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Smart form in his younger days, including a Grade 2 win, but has lost his way; soundly beaten at Leopardstown last time when well behind Soir De Garde and he's poorly treated by these race conditions. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Won a Grade 2 in 2022 (2m, heavy); has struggled since then; more likely to return to winning ways in a handicap; looks out of his depth here with blinkers replacing previously work cheekpieces. |

11st 2lb |
Good ground Thurles maiden hurdle winner who has been placed off this mark; ran a decent race faced with an unrealistic task at Cork on stable debut and another positive effort at Killarney when fifth back in handicap company (4.25l behind Falco Blitz); blinkers go on and he's lightly-raced for his age. |

Maiden winner who has been placed off this mark; ran well in the face of an unrealistic task on stable debut and could be a factor; very lightly raced for one of his age. |

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles in 2024 his sole success under Rules; lacks a recent run and rated just 108; would be a shock winner. |

11st 12lb |
Beat Desertmore House in this event in last year when trained by Joseph O'Brien, for whom he won five chases in all, including the 2022 Kerry National; well below best when fifth behind Desertmore House here in November, tailed off at Cheltenham in November, had a first spin for Enda Bolger over hurdles and an inadequate trip at Cork; not ruled out. |

Five-time chase winner's last two runs for Joseph O'Brien came in Cross Country races at Punchestown and Cheltenham; now with Enda Bolger and faces a tough task on these terms over a trip that looks too sharp. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Won a maiden at this venue on debut last October; next two races were highly ambitious, in the Royal Bond and the Supreme Novices'; struggled in a conditions race at Cork last time; tongue-tie on now. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 7lb |
Was impressive when winning on debut at Wexford but has come up short in graded company twice since; capable of better but rated 126 so a lot to find at these weights and third place probably the best he can hope for. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Raced only twice (both over 2m) and may do better still but he's bottom of this pack on bare figures and needs his sights lowering; last of seven finishers in the Fairyhouse Grade 2 won by Koktail Brut when attempting to follow up a Wexford success that came at the chief expense of a rival who remains a longstanding maiden. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Tramore maiden winner (yielding) last year; after a long layoff, was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown but was running well considering he faced a stiff task at the weights when a faller at the last (held in third) behind two 150+ rated rivals over 2m at Cork over Easter; half-brother to State Man remains unexposed and could go well if staying this longer trip (Townend's choice); hood back on. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |

Tramore maiden hurdle winner (16.5f, yielding) was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown (18.5f, sft-hvy) last month; still relatively early days for this half-brother to State Man but is conceding 5lb to higher rated rivals here; Absurde looks yard's main hope. |
