4th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner won a Clonmel maiden hurdle over 2m4f last October; is rated 111 over hurdles but was well beaten last time in a Fairyhouse handicap after a break; has a fair bit to find on chasing debut. |

Point winner; won a maiden at Clonmel and ran well under a penalty at Catterick; has since left Gavin Cromwell; this mark looks no gift for handicap debut; tries a tongue-tie. |

Point winner was tailed off on bumper debut at the Punchestown festival but was much better after a break at Cork; that was a decent bumper and if he can improve a bit on that form over hurdles then has a solid chance. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
2-7 over hurdles and rated 122 in that sphere; promise in two of three chase starts and rated 120 over fences; beaten 7l over 19.5f (good) at Down Royal latest when a mistake two out proved costly; ground fine here and shorter trip a plus; big player. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; a 122-rated hurdler won twice over hurdles last year before losing his form badly; ran well enough behind a subsequent Punchestown winner at Cork on second chase start; can go well. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner but lost his form badly in that sphere last few runs; was poor on chasing debut at Thurles in February; not easy to fancy and a tongue-tie added. |

Maiden over hurdles but some decent runs including here in March; however, was poor in a Fairyhouse handicap last time; a fair bit to find on chase bow. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Fair level of form without yet winning, placed in Down Royal maiden and Ayr novice; two most recent runs below that level however and beginning to look exposed. |

First reserve; 1-16 in points; placed in a couple of hunter chases under rules; unlikely winner on hurdling debut. |

Is 1-16 in points but rated only 94 over fences and has a lot to find with some of these, so can't be fancied. |

Only one win from 16 starts in points; recent last of eight finishers at Down Royal provides no encouragement. |

Maiden ran a cracker to be second on chasing debut here but wasn't as good since at Kilbeggan; has a bit to find with some of these. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |
11st 12lb |
A distant runner-up in a bumper at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding); beat very few rivals in three runs over hurdles; started over fences with a respectable run at Down Royal recently. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y |

Tailed off in only point-to-point; best of six runs under rules was a distant runner-up finish at Clonmel in a bumper (2m4f, good to yielding); has beaten very few rivals in three runs over hurdles and tries fences now. |

11st 12lb |
Quality sort reached his peak when winning a Navan Grade 2 hurdle over 2m6f in February; however, jumped badly right and was poor in the Pertemps Final last time; posted two decent chase runs in 2024 and should be difficult to beat if jumping soundly. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Never got seriously involved when ninth in the 2m5f handicap at last year's Festival; 2m6f-3m has proved just the ticket this winter with three wins (including the Punchestown qualifier) and a second, with last two outings in Grade 2; they were all in the mud but good to soft was fine earlier in career; tough customer and Gordon Elliott won this three times in a row not so long ago, twice with Sire Du Berlais among the topweights. |
16/1 |

1st 6 |
8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 180y |

Suited by testing conditions; won Pertemps Qualifier over this trip at Punchestown before readily taking less competitive 2m6f Clonmel conditions event; better again in 3m Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran when clear second to a 159-rated rival. |
