28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 98y |
11st 12lb |
Ground versatile; not the biggest in stature but a hugely talented performer who has won eight of his 11 chase starts, including six Grade 1s; bolted up in the Champion Chase on latest, immediately bouncing back from a rare blip at Sandown; won a Grade 1 novice over C&D at this meeting last year and he's preferred by Townend; leading chance. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; small in stature but big in talent and his record of 7-10 over fences features five Grade 1 wins, the most recent impressively in this season's Tingle Creek at Sandown; not bombproof in this scenario as he's 0-3 at the Cheltenham Festival (finishing positions 553) and was let down by his jumping in the 2024 Arkle, admittedly posting a good placed effort in the circumstances; possible denting of confidence is another concern as he was winded and took a while to get up from a late fall in the Clarence House most recently (under pressure and not responding when the tumble occurred); removal of usual hood adds to the uncertainty; otherwise a huge player provided he's in top form. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Hugely likeable chaser who made it 7-9 over fences when slamming Jonbon by 9l in the Grade 1 Tingle Creek at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft; fine on softer) six weeks ago; that represented another personal best and he's the clear pick on the ratings; has excellent credentials. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 4lb |
No success yet over fences and is beginning to look well exposed, the addition of cheekpieces (replaced here by blinkers) failing to bring improvement the last twice; declining mark but hard to fancy, although better ground in his favour. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Cheekpieces are reached for following underwhelming run behind Ocean Of Mercy at Kilbeggan latest when 7.5l behind off level weights; may get closer now but in general 10 chasing runs have been middling. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

Is 0-9 chasing but a couple of placed-finishes; okay runs this year and his 7.5l fourth off 128 in a handicap around here last time was one of his best (3m2f, good to yielding); sets the standard on ratings. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Smart hurdler in his prime and a dual chase winner for Henry de Bromhead this spring (2m, yielding/good); held every chance before last-flight mishap in French hurdle race on recent stable debut and commands respect on this return to fences. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Dual Grade 2 hurdles winner in his pomp back in 2020/21; missed two full seasons before returning in October 2023 and hasn't looked the same horse, though he has won twice this season, including decent C&D beginners' chase last month (yielding); okay handicap debut run in competitive Punchestown contest since, this looks much easier despite the weight concession. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Better known as a chaser but has shown smart hurdles form in the past; would have a squeak if back in top form off a lower hurdle mark. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Two wins include this race last year off 2lb lower; standout run this term when second in Grade 3 Punchestown contest (2m7f), tame effort last time (albeit stiff task) in Grade 2 at Thurles; not one to rule out back in handicap company. |

Useful sort; best form at Punchestown, including when second to the talented Heart Wood three starts ago; 2-16 record over fences is not a great return bearing in mind his 147 rating; inferior to the four Mullins-trained runners on official figures |

Dual hurdle winner has also won twice over fences including a Listed handicap at Killarney in 2024; some good runs in defeat after and is now just 2lb higher than that mark; mostly below form on the Flat and over hurdles this year but not ignored. |

1st Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 180y |
11st 12lb |
The last of his two wins came in a handicap in 2020; outclassed in a beginners' chase last time and showed that he retains some ability when midfield over hurdles the time before; cheekpieces now tried. |

30th Nov 2023 Yielding 2m 2f 91y |
11st 12lb |
Gained the most recent of two hurdle wins in a handicap at Kilbeggan in 2020; ran only once the following year and missed all of 2022; retains some ability judged on a couple of Flat starts this year, but set a tough task here on chasing debut. |

18th Nov 2023 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Not seen over timber since March 2021 and no wins since 2020; missed all of 2022 and while he's shown he retains some ability on the level in a couple of recent Flat starts, he's probably best watched back over timber for now. |

Off the mark (first-time cheekpieces) in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap in May off 100 but well held since, latest in similar contest in August; withdrawn over C&D last month due to good ground so may not have his ground here either and yard also have a strong contender in Goodie Girl. |
