30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His second success over fences came at this track (2m6f, good) last June; has been beaten in hunter chases/points since and makes stable debut; may be better suited by 3m but not out of this. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Flat winner; 2-26 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase in April last year; yet to shine for this stable; not badly handicapped on his old form, needs a revival. |

Two-time Flat winner is 2-25 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase last April; has been out of form since joining Cian Collins; well-handicapped on old form but he's hard to fancy on recent showings. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
12st 0lb |
Has recorded three of his five wins at Punchestown, the most recent was last June; ran well at a big price there in January on his second run after a break. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Was gaining fourth win over fences when coping with better ground over 2m4f at Punchestown eight days ago, recording a third win at the track in what was a messy race; not certain to back that up but 4lb rise gives him every chance (2lb out of handicap but rider claims 3lb) and has won over hurdles around here. |

Three chase wins have come on soft/heavy ground; out of form since last win in March 2024; showed no sign of a return to form when beaten 27L at Down Royal last time; dropped 3lb but hard to fancy. |

Career best chase effort when winning on soft ground at Clonmel (2m7f) in March but very disappointing twice since; shorter trip unlikely to help and others preferred. |

9th Feb 2023 Yielding 2m 6f 182y |
11st 5lb |
Off the track for a year after a decent third in a Gowran maiden hurdle in 2021; well beaten in a couple of chases after he was a disappointing favourite in a Clonmel handicap hurdle; might well be suited by this trip but hard to know what to expect. |

Runner-up in a point in March but well beaten in two chases this summer; only win (for Gordon Elliott) came over hurdles in February 2021 so quite a bit to prove for now; soft ground no problem, at least. |

Hurdle winner in February 2021 for Gordon Elliott but not much since, including in chases; runner-up in a British point in March (well backed) and that offers more than a glimmer of hope on debut for Olly Murphy. |

Best run last season came on his seasonal reappearance in a Navan handicap chase (3m, yielding); three non-completions over fences since and now looks to exploit 11lb lower hurdles mark on return in first-time cheekpieces; not discounted. |
