7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has been mostly over fences without success this season; posted a solid run back to hurdles over this trip at Naas last time; needs more in a stronger race. |

One of two for trainer; juvenile hurdle winner in 2024; well beaten in beginners' chase starts ; slight improvement in a Tramore novice chase last time when a 12.5l fourth of nine (2m, soft); found to have blood at both nostrils on that occasion; reverts to hurdles now. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden hurdle win came here (2m4f, good) last summer; softer ground in recent outings wouldn't have been ideal so potential improver now back on better ground, having not quite got home when fourth in 2m4f novice handicap on chase debut here last month (well-backed); drops in trip. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Highlight of eight runs over hurdles when winning C&D maiden last July (good); has struggled in handicaps, testing conditions at Leopardstown probably not suiting last twice; straight into handicap company for chase debut and likely best watched. |

11st 7lb |
Tramore maiden hurdle winner in late 2023 and best of two recent runs over fences came at same venue last month when rallying third (In The Trenches fifth) in 2m novice handicap chase; could be capable of better over fences so one to consider. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in November 2023 but no joy since; not disgraced on chase debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) last month but doesn't look obviously well treated for first handicap chase. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 |
26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden hurdle winner at Tramore November 2023 before good third in Cheltenham novice hurdle; few below-par efforts after but ran okay when sixth in a strong handicap hurdle at Thurles when last seen; off 431 days since but has the form to go close if ready on chase debut; one of two for a trainer in form. |

11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |

Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |

11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

5th 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles; heavy ground a valid excuse on latest and is 4lb lower than when a 9l runner up in a much stronger race than this at Cork (17.5f, good) in October; has run well here before and he's a player. |

Placed in two bumpers for Seamus Fahey and second in 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle in October when with Gavin Cromwell; unfancied on stable debut, and first run of the year, when mid-field in Wexford chase; might prefer farther, but not out of it. |

Maiden took her mark to a career-high when coming from well back to chase home a clear winner in 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle in October (yielding); never recovered from bad blunder at Sligo later same month in first-time cheekpieces; has since left Gavin Cromwell and debuts for new yard on chase debut. |

Two chase wins in 2024 (including a novice over C&D) but it has been slim pickings since then; no joy in 2025 and modest run at Wexford on return from a break on latest; on a dangerous mark but needs a revival. |

Finally got off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f) last May; tried chasing again last month but well below par in handicaps (up to 2m2f) at Wexford and Limerick; needs this return to hurdling to spark a resurgence. |

Progressive handicap hurdler in March/April; off the mark over 2m5f at Down Royal (yielding) and better again off 11lb higher when clear second to a ready winner over C&D (soft-to-heavy); every chance here if a poor recent chase run is ignored; reservations about good ground. |
