18th Feb 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Off for three years after winning a Thurles maiden hurdle in November 2019; no show in three beginners' chases but much more encouraging third to Soloman Lane in 2m4f Punchestown handicap last month, mistake at the last proving costly; again let down by jumping when faller two out at Fairyhouse when holding every chance; on a competitive mark but jumping a concern. |

Veteran is a three-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D on testing ground off 111 in March last year; 2lb higher now and has been mostly out of form since but he'll get his preferred underfoot conditions here; can't be dismissed. |

23rd Jan 2024 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Most recent of her four wins was over hurdles in April 2022; the stable is enjoying a fine season and positives can be taken from her second in a five-runner veterans' contest at Limerick. |

Never really involved at Roscommon albeit she stuck to her guns really well to bag a modest fourth; jumping left a bit to be desired on that occasion and if she has ironed out those frailties, she should hold her own here. |

C&D winner who is 4-18 over fences; won off 124 at Ballinrobe in May (2m3f, good); beaten 17l in Midlands National at Kilbeggan and never figured at Gowran latest off a tough mark; more needed but all of his wins have been off the back of a bad run so he's not out of it. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
12st 0lb |
Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Veteran has not done a great deal of racing; good effort when fourth at Punchestown (3m, heavy); out of money over fences at Limerick (2m7f, soft to heavy) and beaten 22l back at Punchestown last time (2m6f, soft to heavy); a fair bit to do at these weights. |
