10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose sort has been off the track since a below par run over hurdles at Leopardstown in December 2024; best watched unless the market speaks. |

Dual-purpose type; won on the Flat at Listowel in September; return to hurdles with a fine effort behind The Busy Fool and Park Of Kings at Naas (hampered); is 1lb wrong here but he can go well if repeating his last run and getting a clearer passage. |

11st 2lb |
Flat winner is a maiden over hurdles; has shown enough ability to win a race like this but has been regressive on his last few starts and was beaten 17l in a Cork maiden three days ago. |

Poor on the Flat and over hurdles lately but has a chance if getting back to his best form, notably a second in a novice hurdle on testing ground here in January; handles good ground. |

AW winner but a return to the Flat at Fairyhouse last month did not revive his fortunes; others preferred. |

Good novice hurdler who went down narrowly in the Boodles at Cheltenham in 2023; subsequent form was disappointing however, last seen when well held on the Flat in the Spring; good bit to find on ratings here. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Better over fences; stays 2m5f; had wind surgery prior to the latest Cheltenham Festival (2m, good) where he very nearly recorded a second success in the Grand Annual; not guaranteed to transfer the form back to hurdles but he is attractively treated off a much lower mark in this sphere. |
9/1 |

2nd 8 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
8lb higher than when winning this last year (good to soft) and his subsequent form (chiefly over hurdles) hasn't been at the same level; however, he's had a wind op since last time and his 2-2 record at the Cheltenham Festival (also won the Fred Winter in 2023) means he's firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 168y |
11st 11lb |
Five-time winner, including wins in the Fred Winter and last season's Grand Annual; generally below since, beaten 26l in the Galway Plate; respectable effort back over hurdles at Cheltenham last time when a 12.5l fifth of 20; took the runner-up spot in this race last year from 1lb lower, so not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 2lb |
First reserve; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner broke his three-year winless streak when successful on the Flat at Sligo 12 days ago (1m3f, yielding to soft); not certain to back it up. |

1st 8 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |

No success since a Punchestown maiden hurdle win (2m, heavy) three years ago; Downpatrick third in March was more encouraging but of limited appeal back on the Flat here. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner is 2-19 over hurdles; 8l behind Laughing John when runner up in qualifier for this at Wincanton on penultimate; modest run on the level at Musselburgh on latest; others make more appeal. |
