11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
10yo who's had 70 races (only one of today's rivals has managed even half that) and won 11; latest was the 3m5f cross-country at Cheltenham Festival, comfortably holding off Favori De Champdou for career-best form off the same mark as today; having taken so well to that discipline (he also won there in December) and produced his best performances away from soft ground, he has to be considered seriously. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) in December, winning quite comfortably by just over 4l; weakened into fifth in soft-ground C&D contest won by Favori De Champdou in January but ran well for a long way and ought to be better suited by the less testing conditions today; each-way claims at least. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) last month, leading from the ninth fence and beating J'Arrive De L'Est quite comfortably by over 4l; went up 9lb for that, though, and may not be ideally suited by the slower ground today. |

29th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 5f 70y |
11st 9lb |
Needs to step up on recent form, but noteworthy on account of having finished 13l second to the progressive Seddon in this race last year; tried with blinkers after Down Royal fourth; beaten a long way then but had Harveys Quay and Soloman Lane behind. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle and chase winner in Ireland; effective at 2m4f or further and versatile with regard to the going; made the frame at Down Royal last time; each-way player. |

Close second in this race last year possibly his best effort; ran okay after a three month break when third in a handicap chase at Gowran last time; only 2lb higher than last year and could go close. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off. |

It's now 13 starts since his last success and he was tried in blinkers when pulled up in 2m5f Cartmel handicap chase in August; others appeal more. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner is 2-29 over hurdles; rated 13lb lower over timber but recent form in both codes has been disappointing and a major revival is needed. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Better chaser than hurdler, although hasn't won since taking 2m4f Cork handicap hurdle in November 2023; safely held over hurdles of late, of limited appeal back chasing. |

Good chase record around here; five wins in career; last win was in November 2023 off 3lb lower; fourth in competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle in November; this is easier; chance. |

Veteran is 3-19 over fences; won off 121 at Down Royal (3m, gd-yld) in January; pulled up next two starts then beaten 16.5l off this mark on latest at Punchestown; likes going right-handed but others hold more pressing claims. |

Reverts to hurdles for the first time since March 2019 after jumping let him down on handicap chase comeback at Down Royal three weeks ago; trip and ground likely to be fine; blinkers replace cheekpieces; Mark Walsh rides same owner's Enjoy D'Allen. |

5th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Good third in this race last year after a break but lost his way subsequently and was tailed off when last seen; off 209 days and interesting that he's seemingly the owner's first-string. |
