15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Once very smart for Gordon Elliott but left that yard on a downer and has continued in similar vein for current team; too risky at the minute. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Very useful at his best for Gordon Elliott but was pulled up in this race last year and changed hands after a heavy defeat over regulation fences at Punchestown festival; struggled when dropped back to 2m4f for last month's stable debut; 6lb wrong here and has too much to prove. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
His last win was at the Punchestown festival (3m, soft) in May 2024; right out of form in his last three starts (same Punchestown race last time) and this is his first start since leaving Gordon Elliott for £10,000 last May; probably best watched this time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
His only three long-distance events resulted in an Irish National win in 2023, a storming success in this race in 2024 (soft) and a valiant second, from further off the pace, in repeat bid here in 2025 (good to soft); what a record that is, and 50-1 second in a 3m Grade 1 at Leopardstown on penultimate start gives every encouragement that all his ability remains; the return of cheekpieces (tried once in 2022) is interesting but, off 1lb higher than last year, he should be set for another prominent finish. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Won the 2023 Irish National and a brilliant winner of the 2024 Grand National; gave a terrific display to split his stablemates Nick Rockett and Grangeclare West at Aintree last season; tailed off in the John Durkan on reappearance; spirited display when keeping on for second in the Savills after being hampered at the last; adds substance to the stable's challenge. |

4th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-11 in chases but has run creditably in defeat; best chase effort a 2.25l second in the 2023 Munster National off 132; struggled in the Thyestes and Leinster National since return from long layoff; this much easier but his best form is on soft-heavy. |

0-10 over fences but has run well in defeat, notably when second in the 2023 Munster National; last season's campaign ended prematurely after being brought down in the Troytown; set a tough task in the Thyestes on his comeback; should strip fitter. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 10lb |
2-23 over fences, those wins gained mid-winter in 2022/23 season; fourth in two handicap runs in recent months; was due to run in the 6.30 here on Friday; not suited by the race conditions. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 12lb |
Back-to-back chase wins two years ago; nothing since then, finished in front of Lightkeeper when fourth at Wexford when last seen (2m3f, good); that was her best run for a while; refused to line up at Punchestown in April, so comes with risks attached. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |

2-22 over fences; poor form recently and a 10l fourth of eight at Punchestown last month wasn't hugely encouraging; refused to line up at Punchestown in April; a risky profile and others are in better form. |

Was a heavy ground hurdles winner in France last year; 33/1 and didn't get past the first fence on chasing debut over C&D last time; seems yard's second-string. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on well to score here (2m1f, good) on Saturday, getting off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but the longer trip and likely slower ground will both be in his favour. |

0-19 over fences; went close here (2m5f, heavy) last summer and is now 5lb below that mark but his recent efforts have been disappointing and he might find 2m1f on good ground an inadequate stamina test. |
