29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Mixed form this season, best efforts over hurdles at Navan, winning 2m handicap and second to a progressive horse over 2m4f last time; two less encouraging runs over fences, well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when found to have blood at both nostrils; trainer won this last year. |

Six-time winner split evenly between hurdles and fences; began season with two poor runs over hurdles but returned to form when making all to land a gamble in a 2m handicap hurdle here in November (heavy); well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Poterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when last seen when found to have blood at both nostrils; chance at his best |

Has lost his way since scoring off 8lb lower at Downpatrick last December; rated much higher over fences but didn't show enough on return from a break at Fairyhouse to make him of interest here. |

No wins from 33 attempts (18 over fences) and getting on in years now; dispiriting form in three runs since returned from a 569-day break; pulled up at Punchestown in November, before refused to race at Tramore later that month; more encouraging at Tramore last time, but 20l behind the winner all the same; best watched. |

Two-time winner over timber on soft ground; 0-10 in chases and rated 9lb lower in this sphere but hasn't looked like a winner in waiting on most recent chase starts; beaten 38l in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; did run well here over 2m4f last April but he would prefer softer ground. |

Two wins over hurdles on soft; 0-9 over fences since January 2024 which has resulted in connections trying hurdles again; looks fairly treated on the pick of his form in this sphere but he's risky. |

Five wins under Rules, with four coming at this venue; has won the last two renewals of this race, on good and gd-yld, but handles softer conditions; below best when last seen in December but goes well fresh and return to his favourite track could spark a revival; dangerous to dismiss. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider who had been hurdling before a successful return to fences over 3m at Fairyhouse last time (heavy), having dug deep to make it 3-8 in this discipline; does seem to have a penchant for deep ground so that's the concern. |

Two wins from seven starts over fences including here in January last year (3m2f, soft) off 95; returns to chasing after three hurdle runs from a much lower mark, two of them tailed off but the middle one at Limerick (2m5f, soft to heavy) was positive when a 5.25l fifth. |

Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track. |
