25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 8lb |
Ran consistently well when sent over fences last term, culminating in a ready win in a similar contest at Wexford where reapplied cheekpieces seemingly had a positive impact; four of these were behind him there, but he's 8lb higher now and wouldn't it to dry out too much. |

Better hurdler but has performed respectably in beginners' chases this season, runner-up at Cork (2m, yielding) and led most of the way when fourth at Down Royal (2m4f yielding); solid first handicap effort at Limerick last month, having travelled well into the race; could go well. |

Has a poor win record, 1-13 over hurdles and 1-30 over fences; however has been in the frame lots of times including last four chase starts up to 3m2f; should go well again off an unchanged mark. |

Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; comes here in decent form though, most recently second to Krabat in 2m4f Limerick handicap last month after a break, having every chance; better ground here could see him turn the tables on that rival (1lb wrong). |

In good form this season, gaining second Limerick win last month, coming late under patient ride to win going away (2m4f) on preferred heavy ground; nudged up to near career-high mark now and quicker ground a slight concern. |

Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside. |

Gained the most recent of his three chase wins in a 2m3f handicap on good ground at Ballinrobe last May; lacks a recent run but trip/ground in his favour so local challenger respected. |

Mostly chasing these days and consistent of late; second over this trip when last seen hurdling at Killarney in May, but you'd have to think some of the less exposed types will have his measure. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

Lightly raced 10yo won Fairyhouse beginners chase in early 2024 and later same year back-to-back wins in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Punchestown; absent since pulled up in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap hurdle a year ago; unexposed on only fourth chase start, good fourth on only previous handicap run (off 130); interesting but may need this. |

Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well. |
