1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point and dual bumper winner; off the mark over hurdles on penultimate start when making all for a dominant win at Naas (18.5f, sft-hvy); 3m may have stretched him when well beaten in the Albert Bartlett last time; may do better dropped back in trip; place claims. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Excellent third when favourite for the 2024 Champion Bumper here; missed last season but definite signs of getting his act together over hurdles in posting an eyecatching RPR when strolling home at long odds-on in a 2m2f maiden at Naas (soft to heavy; effective on drier ground); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f but might yet prove that stamina is one of his assets; respected. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 101y |
11st 12lb |
Won a point and two bumpers before finishing third when favourite for the Grade 1 at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival; not seen again until chasing home subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Sortudo in a Cork maiden in November; outpointed by Frankie John at Leopardstown at Christmas; missed a Grade 1 engagement at the DRF; change of ground cited, but has won on soft-to-heavy. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles in 2024 but lightly raced during the last 12 months and hasn't been anything like as good; potentially on a good mark for stable/chase debut but easy to have reservations. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up at Bellewstown last week and doesn't have the form to be a factor against a few of these. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 3m 0f 116y |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner was poor on second start for this yard last time and has to rebound with tongue-tie and cheekpieces added; unproven over this trip. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-7 as a chaser but has placed form over C&D; beaten favourite when a fair third here last month on stable debut; ran poorly when again the market leader at Killarney; may have lost confidence after a mistake at the first. |
5/1 |

10th 3 |
11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; 0-6 as a chaser but has placed form and might strip fitter for his recent stable debut at Kilbeggan (2m4f) where he faded late on. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 10 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on good; best effort over fences when second in a 2m5f Roscommon beginners' event last June, form shown in a good light by the progressive winner Boston Rover; failed to build on that in two subsequent novice runs; weak form in two handicaps last autumn; makes debut for top stable after a break |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Point and two-time hurdles winner is 0-7 in chases; ran well when a close third at Navan in December and 1lb lower now but tailed off at Fairyhouse last time and needs to bounce back. |
13/2 |

10th 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
11st 6lb |
Point and dual hurdles winner; ordinary chase form; no threat in first-time cheekpieces in 3m4f National Trial at Punchestown; a little better at Leopardstown but needs to find extra; cheekpieces discarded, blinkers tried. |
14/1 |

8th 16 |
2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
10st 0lb |
Point and dual hurdles winner; chase debut at Naas last season not without promise but hasn't built on that, most recently never sighted in first-time cheekpieces in 3m4f National Trial at Punchestown last month; 4lb wrong. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Three chase wins for Gavin Cromwell included comfortable win in good event at Ayr (2m, good to soft) one year ago; fluffed the start on stable debut in Cheltenham's Grand Annual but had yet to be asked for his effort when falling three out last month; now back down to that Ayr mark, while the first-time visor and booking of Harry Cobden are other points of interest. |
8/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won in good style for Gavin Cromwell at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April and on that evidence this 3lb higher mark may not be beyond him; however, he was underwhelming on his final two runs for that yard and a major turnaround is needed on this stable debut, for which a tongue-tie goes on. |
50/1 |
|
11th 6 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 2lb |
Two wins last winter, including a premier handicap chase at Ayr in April; ran well before fading into seventh in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in November; never landed a blow at Kelso early last month; plenty to prove as a result. |
