22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Three wins at around 2m in Ireland and latest was over fences for Willie Mullins in June 2023; record of 0-8 for current yard but he rallied well when a creditable third here (2m, good) last month; this is a different test at this new trip but he's well treated on his old form and needs watching in the market; tongue-tie back on. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Another previously useful ex-Mullins horse who's yet to score for this yard; some fair efforts, though, including when second of six at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) at the start of the month; drops back in trip and also needs considering from a career-low mark. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mullins but is 0-6 since joining current stable and returning from long absence; failed to derive benefit from going back over fences the last twice; current mark reflects a decline in his form (20lb higher at his peak). |

Punchestown maiden hurdle winner rated 130 in that sphere although well held the last twice, too keen and looking a tricky ride at same venue on latest; now sent chasing and encounters quickest ground so far. |

9st 8lb |
Turf winner for Richard Hannon as a 3yo and won his first two starts (Polytrack/hurdles) in the spring of 2022, but 0-26 under both codes since; makes his debut for another new yard and worth a market check; stable also runs Knight Of Magic. |

Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Navan last term; shaped like he needed the run on return from 15 months off at Punchestown when last seen; may progress now handicapping and handles good/yielding ground. |

Won bumpers at the Galway and Listowel in September by an aggregate margin of 20l; has had only three runs since third in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham later that year, one of them on the Flat in the month before a clear-cut Navan maiden hurdle last season; off for another long spell before a recent outing at Punchestown; jumping was untidy then, should be sharper now, |
