4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered. |

Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out. |

13yo who is 0-30 over fences and hard to fancy judged on his last few performances; however, he's well treated on last year's best form and this Irish raider is one to keep an eye on in the betting. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore over 2m before a good third of 12 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding); her last win in this discipline came last year off 105 at Navan (2m, heavy). |

Sole win over hurdles came at Downpatrick (2m7f) last year and went close to another success when just denied over a bit shorter there last time; up 3lb but this trip might be a bit sharp. |

Won over 2m7f here last year; poor in two runs (one hurdle, one chase) this year so has to firmly put those behind him. |

Belated first win under rules in today's headgear combination in 2m7f Downpatrick handicap over a year ago (good) off 98; off for a year until well held over shorter trip over fences at Bangor last month; better for that comeback run and trip-ground to suit back hurdling. |

Ex-Irish maiden whose close second in a beginners' chase at Down Royal in May of last year (RPR 131) is head and shoulders above his other achievements; tongue-tie added for British/stable debut and needs checking in the betting. |
