6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Irish raider; exposed maiden; two fair runs on soft/heavy this year but well beaten with cheekpieces tried (on again) at Downpatrick last time (2m6f, yielding to soft); bit to prove. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 |
29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |
11st 4lb |
Moderate form for Declan Queally; has continued in a similar vein of form for new yard, fifth of seven at Punchestown last time; cheekpieces go on but others preferred. |

17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Won three times at up to 2m on the Flat for Paddy Butler; bought for 36,000gns in October; third in a 2m handicap at Ripon 11 days ago having disappointed in a Newcastle maiden hurdle on jumps debut in January (2m1f, good to soft; cheekpieces on instead of visor); visor back on, this longer trip should suit, and improvement likely. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three of his last five Flat runs for Paddy Butler, including a clearcut success at Bath (2m1f, soft) in October; no impact on hurdle debut for new yard in January but could fare a lot better back on the Flat. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Sedgefield bumper winner last May (2m1f, good to firm); off the mark over hurdles with a wide-margin success on same track last time (2m4f, good; made all; left clear two out); the one to beat. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won a fast-ground bumper here last May; improving over hurdles and beaten just 2l and 1l when second at Ludlow (2m, soft) and Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) on his last two starts; has the pick of the form here. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner, he showed improvement on his second hurdles start when runner-up at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month; normal improvement should see him go close. |
6/4 |
