5th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Former point winner and useful 132-rated hurdler, though pulled up in two of his last three races in that sphere; made an encouraging start over fences when making almost all to beat the error-prone favourite Genois at Listowel; will need to raise his game to win here. |

11st 12lb |
Useful hurdler is rated 132 in that sphere but has been pulled-up on two of last four starts; has the ability to go well if his jumping holds up; has won a point' which can help. |

Off the track for two years and gradually coming back to form; stayed on well to be runner-up in a competitive Ballinrobe handicap in May; should be spot on for this. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Only 2-24 over fences but good to see him follow his Wetherby win on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) with a similar performance in defeat the following month; does have his share of off days but couldn't rule him out. |

Bumper and hurdle winner was 0-5 over fences for Henry De Bromhead; has moved stables after a couple of heavy hurdles defeats at Leopardstown and Navan; ran well at just short of this trip in the Connacht National (3m1f, good) last year and just 1lb higher here; not discounted on debut for new yard. |

Four-time scorer over timber has not looked like a winner in waiting in three runs in 2025; beaten 24l off 125 in a handicap hurdle here on latest; overlooked by Jack Kennedy. |

Second runner for yard; six-time winner including four over hurdles, albeit none over this far; never seen with a chance on both recent runs and much more needed. |

10st 6lb |
Stays a lot farther and needs good ground; some good runs in defeat around Cheltenham and when second to Perceval Legallois in 2024 Paddy Power at Leopardstown; second off much lower hurdles mark in November, but moderate form since; reckon this track will be plenty sharp for him. |

Rated 19lb higher over fences but lost his form in that sphere; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on last two runs over timber and may need quicker ground than this. |

Placed in points; best run under rules when close third to progressive type at Down Royal (2m4f) in January; long way off Atacanter over 3m1f here in March and not seen since the following month. |

Fourth in a handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival of 2022 but has lost his way over hurdles and fences; opposable right now. |

4th Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Formerly useful but regressive over both types of obstacle last year; mild promise latest when 20l fourth at Listowel but held by Ballywilliam Boy on that form. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Has become bitterly disappointing given that only two years ago he finished fourth to Banbridge in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile and, now a 9yo, it won't be easy to turn things around. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 140y |

Absent 297 days; 0-5 over hurdles but all his Rules runs have come on ground with soft or heavy in the description; was placed in a point-to-point on good and his two winning half-brothers both scored on a sound surface so the better ground here may spark some improvement. |
