20th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Former top-notcher who has understandably lost some of his old zip at the age of ten, but didn't run too badly in a Grade 3 last time and cheekpieces are fitted for his first handicap of any description; can't be ruled out. |

Former dual Grade 1 winner whose wins also include a beginners chase here; good bit below best in two runs at Punchestown this season, dropping away tamely last time; hard to be confident in now. |

2nd Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles has bounced back to form this season; has finished runner up in Grade 2s the last twice at Gowran and Navan on soft to heavy ground; the drying track here is not in his favour and this trip may be a shade sharp too, albeit he can't be discounted in this company. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 4lb |
Former Grade 2-winning hurdler and came good in second stint chasing last summer with wins at Kilbeggan (beating Thecompanysergeant) and a Grade 3 novice event at this venue; warmed up with fourth behind Gaelic Arc at Kilbeggan; other younger rivals are preferred. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 12lb |
10yo a former Grade 2-winning hurdler and came good in second stint chasing last summer with wins in C&D beginners' and in Grade 3 Galway novice; stiffer task on return in February, none too fluent and soon beaten in Grade 2 Kempton novice; cheekpieces worn the last twice now discarded for handicap debut and may just need this. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who returns from a break and possibly isn't the force of old (3m Grade 1 hurdle runner-up in December 2022) but he's won when back over fences for his last two starts, most recently a Grade 3 novice at Galway (2m2f, good) last August; not ruled out in view of his back-class. |

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. |

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. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Thorough stayer who came second in the 2023 Grand National; not very consistent nowadays but did very well to finish third behind Stumptown in this race last year (good to soft), having lost ground when nearly taking the wrong course in early stages, and returns here after a win on Bank course at Punchestown (3m1f, soft to heavy) last month. |

Never regained the heights of the spring of 2021 when winning the Boodles at Cheltenham and the Grade 1 Champion juvenile at Punchestown; no success in the senior ranks; respectable run in a Fairyhouse handicap last time, but others preferred. |
