11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Classy sort who is 2-7 over fences and ran as well as he was entitled to behind Energumene in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse last month; his second to Impaire Et Passe in February was bordering on a career best and he's Kennedy's pick from three stablemates. |
4/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 4lb |
2-6 over fences; won the Navan Listed handicap in 2024, that Down Memory Lane won last year, off 143, which was his last success; excellent effort in the Grade 2 Red Mills at Gowran in February when a 1.25l second behind Impaire Et Passe; well beaten in the Martin Pipe latest but the return to chasing is a plus; a fair bit to find on the figures, however. |
8/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Well treated on best chase form, including second in Gowran Grade 2 when returned to that sphere last time, but he has never been able to show it over hurdles; his Cheltenham Festival record of P40, the fourth-place finish over fences, adds to the uncertainty. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Dual hurdles winner but regressive last season; two chase efforts don't make him an obvious contender now on handicap debut unless first-time tongue-tie brings improvement. |

115-rated hurdler so ideally treated by race conditions and getting the hang of chasing; best effort so far when third in useful contest at Ballinrobe and that form has been franked. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Dual chase winner has run well in defeat at this track; poor in two hurdles and a chase this year so has to get back to his best. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Dual chase winner with the last coming off a 2lb lower mark at Tipperary over a year ago; hasn't matched that form since and was poor over hurdles the last twice so has to get back to best. |

Only win in 2m Limerick maiden in 2022 but decent third in this race last year off 3lb higher; pulled up after never travelling over fences recently and blinkers now tried for hurdles return. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year. |

Big improver over fences on joining this yard last season, notably running away with 3m Paddy Power here and good third in Ultima at Cheltenham; two runs here this term well below best, in Paddy Power and never landing a blow off considerably lower hurdles mark at DRF; another with a bit to prove right now. |
