2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 11lb |
Last season's 4m Scottish National winner but mixed bag this term however, including early faller in Thyestes and most recently mistakes before unseating four out in Aintree National; hard to be confident in and handicapper not relenting. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Leopardstown seventh to Favori De Champdou at Christmas was a glimpse of what he's capable of; the performance which really gets the juices flowing, however, came in the Scottish National at Ayr (4m, good to soft) last April when very confidently ridden and unleashed to find a tremendous response on the run-in, cutting down the leader; it's very hard to rule him out after that, despite the 12lb higher mark. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with Scottish National win at Ayr (4m, good to soft); very pleasing return when third to top-class Romeo Coolio in Grade 1 Drinmore here (2m4f, yielding to soft); a shade disappointing in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown when seventh (3m, yielding); well backed to land the Theyestes last time when stable first string but fell at the fifth; Townend abandons ship now but he has ability and likes this track. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on best chase form for Willie Mullins and is a three-time hurdles winner; sold for £39,000 since last run; interesting on debut for Faye Bramley, who has done well with recruits from other stables (including ex-Closutton runners). |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 8lb |
146-rated chaser; decent strike rate of 3-6 over hurdles; won on testing ground at Tipperary (2m7f, sft-hvy) on penultimate but pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 on latest (2m4f, yld-sft); acts on better ground but this trip may be on the sharp side; place shout. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Got his career back on track on returning to hurdles at Thurles (2m7f, soft to heavy), but that was still beneath his peak form and Paul Townend deserts him for Storm Heart. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Fifth in last year's Pertemps Final here as a staying hurdler and also ran well here when he had no answer to Wade Out after the final fence in November (3m1f, soft) on chase debut; readily beat a useful rival in a match at Southwell (3m, good to soft) next time and 2m3f offers an excuse for latest start, so he might be capable of better, which is needed. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Talented staying hurdler who was a good Listed second on his chase debut at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) in November, and readily beat a useful rival in a match at Southwell (3m, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip today but there can be optimism he'll cope and he's a leading contender. |
6/4 |

3rd 20 |
1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Career-best to beat Doddiethegreat in a Pertemps Qualifier at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) and didn't run at all badly in the Final; couldn't dismiss with Sean Bowen taking over for the first time. |

Returned to hurdling with a 5l fourth at Fairyhouse (2m4f) and wouldn't be far away with a repeat of that effort. |

Soundly beaten in two outings in quick succession last winter; not a big price on debut but 66-1 second start. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Makes quick reappearance after being tailed off in the bumper at Gowran last week; seemed to be well fancied then (7-1 third favourite in a field of eight); tried with a hood now, interesting that she is brought out again so soon. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Diamond Boy filly cost 30,000Euros as a 3yo; half-sister to winners Chess Player (2m chase) and Merci Merci (French 1m5f Flat); dam unraced half-sister to 2m-3m1f hurdle/top-class chase winner Djakadam; yard does well in bumpers and any market strength worth noting. |

10st 5lb |
One of his three hurdle wins came at this track in 2024; dual chase winner afterwards; mostly below form over fences last season, but this ground suits better so could put up an improved show. |

Three hurdle wins but this is his first run in this discipline since 2024; couple of fair runs over fences this year and will like the ground. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Five-time winner; both his chase wins have come at Thurles on good ground; last two runs have been respectable but looks held by Harbour Highway and Lisleigh Lad on Leopardstown running; rider Phidelma Elvin won this in 2023. |
