11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Landed the Triumph at this meeting in 2021 and was in the process of producing a career-best performance, albeit seeming likely to come off second best in the argument, when final-fence faller in this contest 12 months ago (good to soft); absent since but has a good reappearance record, allied with his proven ability to act very well at the Cheltenham Festival; another big run may be on the cards. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Landed the Triumph Hurdle here in 2021; still seeking a first Grade 1 success over fences and form dipped in the Dublin Chase most recently, failing by a long way to confirm Naas November placings with Marine Nationale; ran well but was no match for Jonbon in the Tingle Creek in between; not the percentage call. |

Former Triumph Hurdle winner made a bright start to his 2024-25 campaign with decisive front-running success over Marine Nationale in Grade 3 at Naas in November; similar tactics employed when second to ready winner Jonbon in Tingle Creek at Sandown following month and Rachael Blackmore prefers him to the more highly-rated Captain Guinness. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Classy sort who is 2-7 over fences and ran as well as he was entitled to behind Energumene in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse last month; his second to Impaire Et Passe in February was bordering on a career best and he's Kennedy's pick from three stablemates. |
4/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 4lb |
2-6 over fences; won the Navan Listed handicap in 2024, that Down Memory Lane won last year, off 143, which was his last success; excellent effort in the Grade 2 Red Mills at Gowran in February when a 1.25l second behind Impaire Et Passe; well beaten in the Martin Pipe latest but the return to chasing is a plus; a fair bit to find on the figures, however. |
8/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Well treated on best chase form, including second in Gowran Grade 2 when returned to that sphere last time, but he has never been able to show it over hurdles; his Cheltenham Festival record of P40, the fourth-place finish over fences, adds to the uncertainty. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-6 for current stable and needs to better his recent efforts but is now 5lb lower than when creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and can't be ruled out; visor removed after one use. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped. |
