11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Champion Bumper second and Supreme third at last two Cheltenham Festivals; 4-4 over fences, winning three Grade 1s, but raced lazily in Irish Arkle (2m1f, soft) last time which has brought about this hike in trip; possibly the most talented horse in the race, but the trip is a real unknown and the fitting of a hood suggests even his connections have their doubts. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Course Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last season and better in defeat when placed at Cheltenham and Aintree; bright start over fences at Down Royal and beat three-time chase winner Gold Dancer in the 2m4f Drinmore at Fairyhouse; backed that up with a game C&D display win at Christmas; ideally needs further but also capable of high-class form at this trip; looks the part despite slight doubt about how he will handle very testing ground. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Eyecatching bumper form before finishing close up in a Grade 2 hurdle for previous yard; hasn't kicked on from an encouraging start for Gordon Elliott, his form tapering off last season after a first (2m) and second (2m6f) over hurdles; ran okay on chase debut at Sligo but no more than that and his jumping was a bit scruffy at times. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner (beating Addragoole) last year was also fourth in a Grade 2 novice; pulled-up in a Leopardstown Grade 1 novice last February and was poor behind Barry Lyndon next time; needs his best on return/chasing debut. |
5/1 |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner last term; won over hurdles on stable debut at Galway (form has been franked) before a close-up third in Thurles novice hurdle; out of his depth in Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival but could be thrown in off 130 on handicap bow. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden showed plenty of promise in bumpers and has run some fine races over hurdles, the best of which when a close second over 2m7f at Cork; not as good over 2m4f last time but the step back up in trip can help on handicap debut; chance. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Useful bumper form; rated 110 after four spins over hurdles, his best effort coming on latest at Cork (2m7f, yielding) when a neck second of 13; likely to make a bold bid dropped back in trip for his local yard. |
100/30 |

2nd 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Had some very useful bumper form; distant second on hurdling debut (2m4f) in the autumn; bounced back from poor effort when fifth over 2m4f here last month, but was beaten 20l; should come on a bit for that run and this is easier. |

13th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 11lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-5 in chases but has run well in defeat, including at this venue over 16.5f (good to yielding) back in January; won at 2m6f over hurdles but has stamina to prove for this trip; doesn't look a certain stayer on breeding and others appeal more. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 2lb |
One of eight for trainer; maiden hurdle winner built on a good runner-up finish at Gowran on his third chase start to win a four-runner Wexford beginners' chase (3m1f, soft) at his leisure last time; that form probably doesn't amount to much, but he's not ruled out now entering handicaps. |

1st 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f last summer; the best of three chase runs came last time when a 3l runner-up at Gowran over the same trip; similar ground today and is the one to beat if staying this trip. |
