12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Displayed superstar potential when easily winning the 2m5f Grade 1 novice hurdle here in 2024; mixed campaign over fences last term and he's reverted to hurdles this season, going very close behind Teahupoo in Grade 1 Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft) before 14l third to that rival in Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle (2m7f, good to yielding); the first-time hood could help this headstrong 8yo settle but he may again be vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Won a Gowran maiden hurdle and Fairyhouse novice in 2024; weakened over 22.5f on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe on sole start in 2025; long layoff to overcome on chase debut but worth a market check. |

Off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles in a 2m4f maiden at Gowran (good) in October; solid second when last seen in a 2m4f Fairyhouse novice in November; off since but has gone well fresh before; interesting handicap debutant. |

Fairyhouse maiden hurdle for Barry Fitzgerald in January; struggled when raised in class; dropped away tamely on stable/handicap debut at Punchestown 12 day ago; hood used then is discarded now. |

Fairyhouse maiden winner last term, struggled when raised in class; fair handicap prospect for her new trainer who fits her with a hood. |

11st 9lb |
Won a weak maiden hurdle at Roscommon last August; down the field in a handicap on next start and then ran twice over fences; fourth back over hurdles at Punchestown on recent return and has a place chance on that evidence. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Mistakes costly when pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) last November when last seen; however, this front-runner was 3-3 in handicap chases previously, the latest win a convincing one at Killarney (2m5f, good to yielding) in August; certainly remains of interest. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Hurdles winner has improved for the switch to chasing, winning the last twice; comfortable winner at Limerick in March (2m2f, good to yielding) before gamely winning again at Cork last time (2m1f, yielding); up another 7lb but he is lightly raced and improving rapidly. |
