15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 5lb |
Debut bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in 2024 (good to soft); fair sixth on stable debut at Galway in October and ran better than finishing position suggested in a rated novice chase at Punchestown; tailed off in a Navan maiden hurdle last time at 80-1 (2m, soft to heavy); check market for handicap debut. |

11st 6lb |
Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 114; pulled up at Fairyhouse on final 2025 start, and badly out of form over hurdles before that. |

Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 119; pulled up on last start over fences and badly out of form over timber the last twice; others appeal more. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |
33/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Second in a point; modest enough over hurdles, but would have needed latest run in Punchestown handicap where he ran well to a point; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers on chase debutant from decent family. |
12/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 116y |
10st 9lb |
Some fair runs in maidens and heavy ground probably to blame when well-beaten joint-favourite on handicap debut in January; back from a break. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner in 2024 got off the mark over hurdles in a Cork maiden over 2m4f last October; didn't jump well on chasing debut last time but can do better back in this sphere, though has a bit to find with the Elliott pair; cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kilbeggan bumper on debut in 2024 and got off the mark over hurdles at Cork over 2m4f in October; handles soft ground and can be a player on chasing debut if staying the trip. |

No impact in three maiden hurdles last year; off the mark on ninth attempt in points last month; tough assignment on chase debut under rules. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Jack Kennedy's first ride back after a layoff; dual winning hurdler and fair level of form over fences, although still not the most fluent at times; remote third behind two useful sorts in 2m novice at Roscommon last time; looks beatable. |
7/2 |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
122 rated hurdler has shown ability in all three chase starts but jumping errors have held him back; beaten 11l when runner up behind Net Boy at Ballinrobe latest (2m1f, good); place claims again. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 4lb |
Two-time winning hurdler rated 10lb higher in that sphere but that is for a reason; heavy defeats in all five chase starts and best form on good ground so the forecast rain is a worry; others appeal more. |
18/1 |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Useful hurdler, latest win came off 124 in handicap at Downpatrick in June; nothing of real note in five chase starts since, well beaten over 3m at Down Royal 195 days ago; needs a lot more after break, but hasn't been out of the first three in as many starts here. |
