9th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Regressive and inconsistent 11yo; belied triple-digit odds when runner-up in gruelling race at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) in December, his second start for Tim Reed, but the rest of last season's form was disappointing; now back with Tim Reed after two runs for Tristan Davidson; not an easy one to predict. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |

Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn and was again well beaten when returning for new stable in March; given a wind op since and reverts to chasing on a workable mark but still looks risky. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Best known as a chaser these days and was tailed off back over hurdles on his final run for Gordon Elliott, whom he left for £30,000; on a good mark but there's much to prove on first sighting since October. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enhanced his good record here when inheriting first place over 3m5f in May (same mark) and the drop back to 2m5f found him out when fourth to Charlie Uberalles two months ago; this race is a better fit; third 12 months ago on heavy ground. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time course winner, most recently when awarded 3m5f veterans' chase here (good to soft; second past the post) last month; versatile regarding ground but would appeal more over further than 2m5f. |

1st 2 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |

Won four races last season, two over 3m1f here (good/soft), one at Ayr (3m, good) and one over 3m6f at Newcastle (good); 8lb higher than for last win but a contender. |

Had been consistent enough this season but pulled too hard over 2m5f at Leopardstown last week; has a squeak down in trip on some of her earlier efforts but yard form is quiet. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Smart staying handicap chaser in his prime; has found a new lease of life, winning two hunter chases at Thurles (beat Lifetime Ambition by 9l) and Naas (beat Hunters Yarn by 4l); might have found the ground a bit too quick when finishing fifth behind Barton Snow at Cheltenham; could play a featuring part. |
5/1 |

5th 13 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has always had some class about him and he went off only 11-1 for the Grand National two seasons ago; lost his way afterwards but he's back in the good books after winning two hunter chases and the RPR he posted at Naas last month (3m, heavy; fine on good ground) was up there with his best; with confidence seemingly buoyed he's a must for the shortlist. |
11/2 |

1st 4 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 36y |
12st 0lb |
A good staying handicap chaser without ever winning one; twice placed in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown, fifth in the 2023 Irish Grand National, third in last season's Leinster National at this venue; third on point debut in November; responding well to a prominent ride at Thurles; 9l runner-up Lifetime Ambition (stablemate of Hunters Yarn) is a solid yardstick. |

Best form over 2m5f at Leopardstown where he won at the 2022 Dublin Racing Festival and was a creditable third behind Brideswell Lad two months ago; ran out of steam in the closing stages of the La Touche at Punchestown ten days ago and was pulled up. |

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |

Veteran won this race for Noel Meade five years ago off 81 and last win came on Dundalk AW in February 2022; fair AW form last winter for the late Kevin Prendergast, reappearing for current yard when placed in 2m5f Sligo handicap hurdle last month; retains enthusiasm so can't be ruled out; first-time tongue-tie. |

Sole win came in a Thurles maiden hurdle three years ago; consistent and frustrating in more or less equal measure since; only one pound out of the handicap; entitled to improve from his recent Naas run (his first after a break); overall record suggests he will find a few too good. |
