29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 13lb |
Chase wins have been at Wexford and Sligo on decent ground, latter occasion when beating Jesse Evans 3.5l at levels in October when last seen, albeit steady pace possibly suited; has run well fresh and has his ground here, so one to consider. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |
11st 10lb |
Rated 132; has caught the eye in some valuable handicap chases but consistency is not his strong suit and he has unseated, pulled up and been beaten 28l on his last three starts; capable of running well but comes with risks attached. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Won on chase debut in a Wexford beginners' in 2023 (2m4f, yielding); best run in recent times was a 4.5l second at the Punchestown festival off his current mark (2m4f, yielding); he has been poor in three runs following that and Kennedy prefers Mars Harper. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Smart staying handicapper at his best; won the Kerry National at Listowel last September and looked set for victory in the Thyestes at Gowran Park in January when unseating at the final fence; pulled up in the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse, same outcome in the Grand National. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Career with Willie Mullins took a long time to catch fire but it's done so this season and he looked set for victory in the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January when unseating at the final fence; pulled up behind Grangeclare West last time but back catalogue includes a creditable sixth in the Scottish National and fourth in bet365 Cup at Sandown, so he stays long distances; his revised mark since the Thyestes would be the chief worry. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Got his first chase win at the 11th attempt at Punchestown in June before following up in the Kerry National at Listowel (3m, yielding); pulled up at Newbury but looked set for victory in the Theyestes (3m1f, heavy) last time when unseating at the final flight; firmly in the mix but Townend rides Grangeclare West. |

Record of 1-13 over hurdles and rated 123 in that sphere; some decent runs in defeat lately but was well below form at Punchestown last time; cheekpieces on for chasing debut. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
A 126-rated hurdler; narrowly made a winning start as a chaser over C&D before struggling in a Grade 3 at Galway when 25-1; finished well behind Intellotto that day. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Won three hurdle races in a row in Britain last summer on good ground; back from winter break for winning chasing debut in 2m4f Wexford beginners early this month, fresh but jumping well to beat two race-fit market principals on favoured good ground; looks like making a better chaser than hurdler and not one to dismiss despite jump in class. |

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

Won three hurdle races in a row in Britain last summer at around 2m4f on good ground; pulled up in a better quality race next time at Worcester on soft ground (2m4f); 50l behind in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last October; tries fences now but needs to bounce back. |

10st 13lb |
Made no significant progress after last autumn's winning hurdle debut but returned from break with two encouraging chase runs this autumn (behind Rexem on first occasion) and has each-way claims here. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
10st 13lb |
Has generally struggled since winning at Galway (22.5f, good) last September; a bit better when a plugging-on third of 16 at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) on latest but was 16l behind the winner; longer trip here a plus. |
