30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 6lb |
Second-season chaser who showed improved form when runner-up at Wexford and Leopardstown on his first two starts this season; Grand Annual fourth confirmed a level of form that makes him interesting in this company; good 5lb claimer. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Second-season chaser who has shown improved form when runner-up on both starts this term, most recently second of 20 to Addragoole at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; this unexposed 7yo could have even more to offer and might have a part to play; wears a first-time hood. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
11st 7lb |
Lightly-raced six-year-old who won Galway maiden hurdle on debut and looked good when winning a novice chase at Limerick last December (2m1f, yielding to soft); questions to answer on seasonal return following disappointing runs at Punchestown in February and Fairyhouse in April. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden who was big prices and well held throughout 2025; goes without regular headgear but hard to foresee a good run from out of the weights. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Pulled up on both outings this season (2m4f/2m7f) and now 0-29 over hurdles; drops back to about 2m and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor here; very difficult to enthuse over. |

14-race maiden and soft ground wasn't an obvious excuse when tailed off in a 2m4f seller at Leicester in December; now visored. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Improving gelding has won two of his last three starts; scored off 89 at Kilbeggan over 24.5f and added another handicap hurdle off 95 at Wexford last week over 3m, both on good to yielding; up another 6lb and could be more to come but drop back in trip a concern. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Gavin Cromwell before losing his way; some signs of a revival when fourth at Downpatrick (2m3f) and he's slipped to a handy mark. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over hurdles and once over fences for Gavin Cromwell before losing his form last year; has continued his regression for this yard and is hard to fancy on his poor Kilbeggan comeback run. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Good form for Gavin Cromwell in the closing months of 2024, featuring a chase win at Tramore and a handicap hurdle win at Fairyhouse; never managed to reach that standard last year. |

Is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when a 6.5l fourth of 16 on latest over an inadequate 2m3f at Limerick (raised 2lb); stepping up to this trip will suit, good ground is fine and he holds leading claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |

Got his head back in front over timber last month but struggled in a couple of chase starts earlier this season; 7lb lower chase mark to work with at least. |

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last summer (2m6f, good); not at the same level in four runs this year, finished 9l behind at Sligo most recently; needs to come back to form but top lady rider aboard. |
