2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Appreciated eased in grade at Bangor (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago, winning readily by 10l; contests deeper race here but probably still on workable mark after 5lb rise, and quicker ground also suits. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Exposed ex-Irish gelding who has yet to score for Dan Skelton (0-10); however, he has been contesting stronger races and was going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft; fine on good) in January; his subsequent Ascot run needs forgiving but that was a Class 1 race. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Record of 0-9 for current yard but he ran well over hurdles on this card last year; still going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft) most recently; shortlisted. |

4th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Admirable mare will be having her 108th start under rules; 1-21 over fences but has run well at this venue on multiple occasions; lost form since shock win in a 2m listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March 2024; hard to fancy on recent showings but can't fully dismiss. |

15th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Admirable front-runner but recent form far from encouraging, 3m beyond her last time; return to 2m to suit but hard to see her lasting it out. |

29th Dec 2024 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Mixing hurdling and chasing in 2024; beat Shadow Rider by 2.5l at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March off 126; beaten 5.75l off revised mark of 132 subsequently at Punchestown; well-beaten on latest after a break at Chepstow; will come on for that but has a bit to prove off his current rating |

21st Jan 2024 Yielding 2m 5f 132y |
11st 7lb |
Latest win came in a 2m2f mares chase here in March; consistent since without winning, most recently behind R'Eveleyn Pleasure at Cork; should get closer but others preferred. |

6th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won a 2m2f mares' event at Thurles last March; has done most of her racing in conditions races; soundly beaten in fourth behind the useful Brides Hill in a mares' handicap at Fairyhouse last month; probably vulnerable off this mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Veteran gained his second win over fences, and fifth in all, in 2m4f handicap at Down Royal's Christmas meeting and most recently finished a good third in 3m4f Ulster National at Downpatrick; previous two runs over this course have been poor (pulled up in this last year). |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 3lb |
Veteran gained his second win over fences and fifth all in a handicap over an extended 2m4f at Down Royal's Christmas meeting; 12lb higher now and has finished down the field over hurdles on his last two runs. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner added his second chasing win at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day when taking advantage of lower mark (2m4f, good to yielding); ran well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle prior to his win, but his most recent run here over hurdles was underwhelming when he went clear with one other and both weakened. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on old form for Willie Mullins; nothing to shout about in first four runs for this yard but there was some encouragement last time, despite beating just one home, when third at Hereford (2m, good) 12 days ago; big danger if he builds on that from a career-low mark. |
