2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 4lb |
High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; 0-5 so far chasing this term but much more encouraging run on latest when second to the classy Oscars Brother in Grade 2 Ten Up Novices' at Navan last month; jumping still requires attention but is 13lb lower than hurdles here in first handicap chase. |

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; now has serious questions to answer after his first four chase starts; remote seventh in Leopardstown event won by Koktail Divin (previously beaten by Oscars Brother at Punchestown); needs to jump a lot better than in 2m4f Gowran event; longer trip should be a help at least. |

12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in April and runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) 11 days later on final run for Harry Derham; takes on proven chasers on first outing over fences but he's only six and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market on stable debut; tongue-tie goes on. |

Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; never sighted on recent Flat return at Roscommon, but notable jockey booking here so has to be worth a market check. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Need not dictate to win but did enjoy having things mostly his own way in victory at Bangor latest (3m, good); 6lb rise to a career-high mark asks a stiff question, and rain might stir the pot further as he did not appreciate ground slower than good when last trying it a year ago. |

A fair 2m6f hurdles scorer for Eoin Doyle in Ireland in 2024; made a winning start for his current yard on the Flat at Thirsk in May and posted a good third back in this sphere at Worcester (2m4f) since; very much one to consider. |

Responsible for both of his new trainer's wins, the latest at this track (2m, good) 15 days ago; didn't appear to see his race out when tried over today's distance at Wincanton in April but he is clearly in good order. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip. |

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip. |
