8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle and chase winner has regressed after a decent comeback run in December from a long absence, so questions remain. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
12st 0lb |
Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |

Veteran has not done a great deal of racing; good effort when fourth at Punchestown (3m, heavy); out of money over fences at Limerick (2m7f, soft to heavy) and beaten 22l back at Punchestown last time (2m6f, soft to heavy); a fair bit to do at these weights. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over hurdles at Tramore and Sligo; 0-11 chasing though, staying on third at Tramore on May return, having raced wide; not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |

Well beaten on first three starts for Andrew Hamilton but his C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie) third in May was a big step back in the right direction; suffered a mishap at Hexham last time but has possibilities if able to build on that previous effort. |
