25th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-11 over hurdles and rated 132; has lost his way since fine second in the Plate at Cheltenham in 2025; pulled up in Leopardstown chase when last seen in February; revival needed. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
11st 0lb |
Record of 1-13 over fences but has been placed plenty, notably when second to Jagwar in the Plate at Cheltenham last term; hasn't been as good since and was well beaten over hurdles here last time; yard back in form, though, so not ruled out. |

Record of 1-9 over fences for previous yard; ran well over hurdles when making debut for this yard at Navan in January; strong in the betting when runner-up to Jagwar in the Plate at Cheltenham; ran over hurdles at Punchestown festival; failed to show his best form in the Galway Plate. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Any horse in these colours worth a second look here, and one presumes this has been the plan; useful Flat and hurdles performer and won 2m6f hurdle on this card in 2024; held in novice company last year after winning on chase debut at Down Royal; third over inadequate 2m on handicap debut at Wexford; better for that run and ground and trip to suit, albeit he's up in grade a good bit. |

Ground should be coming right for him now; probably needs further than this, and his lack of a recent run is a possible drawback. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has won all sorts during his career, including one of his three chases; didn't run too badly when a well-held third in a 3m novice at Clonmel last time but looks to have a bit on his plate at these weights. |

Hurdle winner is a maiden after 24 starts on the Flat; beaten a long way in a chase last time and isn't easy to fancy with blinkers added. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in a maiden hurdle in Ireland two years ago but he's well handicapped on old Flat form and made an encouraging return for new yard when seventh of 20 in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW); conditions should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's one to keep an eye on. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well held in 2022 in his sole AW race; has been running over hurdles and fences in Ireland, with no win since a maiden hurdle nearly two years ago; sold out of Gordon Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; there's no tongue-tie today for the first time in three years and last jumps season's blinkers/cheekpieces are also absent; peak Flat form and new trainer's record with recruits are something to clutch at, though. |
