6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Two-time chase winner; fine effort when runner-up in a Cartmel handicap chase in June 2025 but only seen three times since and well beaten both starts in 2026, over hurdles at Haydock and in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; needs to rediscover best. |

Runner-up at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last June and he's run well at up to 3m in the past; however, he was tailed off at 50-1 over hurdles at Haydock last month when back from a break and looks up against it today. |

Off the mark over fences on her penultimate start and creditable sixth back in this sphere when last seen; suspicion she'll need this though and probably needs a bit further; off 202 days. |

Back from a break to win comfortably at Down Royal (2m3f, good) on only his sixth run over fences; 8lb higher this time but a greater concern would be whether he needs good ground to show his best form. |

Veteran; five-time chase winner including three over C&D; last won here last August off 99 and 3lb lower now; recent efforts have been underwhelming, however, and blinkers are reached for. |

Old boy has won 12 races in all under both codes, mostly from the front; C&D winner in 2024 and was placed over 1m4f last year, but he's pushing on now and tailed off over fences last time. |

Veteran pulled up on first start for this yard at Clonmel in December but has a fine record here (four wins, three over fences) and is just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last August; ground versatile and can't discount. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |
3/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Winner of seven races including three this year; those three wins have come in handicap chases, including a 3l victory at Limerick (2m3f, yld-sft) on latest off 109; rated 103 in this sphere and 2m is fine so can't be discounted on return to hurdling. |
