30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 12lb |
Was the outstanding novice hurdler of last season with two Grade 1 wins including the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham; had an excuse when well below that form at this meeting last year; made an impressive chasing debut at Navan; then had a chip taken out of a knee, so lacked experience but still ran a cracker in the Arkle; with more to come he will be difficult to beat today. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Travelled strongly when landing the odds in last year's Supreme (good to soft) before running no sort of race at Punchestown; dispatched inferior opposition with minimum of fuss on debut over fences at Navan (2m1f, soft/heavy) in November; hasn't been seen since (had a loose chip removed from a knee in December) and lacks the chasing experience of his rivals, but he certainly possesses the X factor and he's the one to beat with a clear round. |

29th Apr 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 149y |
11st 12lb |
Unbeaten in a bumper and three hurdle races; didn't impress with his jumping on hurdling debut at Leopardstown over Christmas but blew away his rivals in a Grade 1 at the track next time; again made some mistakes when winning the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham but was well on top at the finish; the hood worn then is retained and is difficult to oppose today. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner has taken really well to hurdling, winning first three starts over a trip, notably Grade 2 Navan novice and Grade 1 Leopardstown contest (2m6f) at the DRF (beating Kazansky 8l) on heavy; much too keen and ultimately pulled up when favourite for Grade 1 Albert Bartlett on latest and hood now fitted; encounters much better ground now. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His bumper form was nothing to shout about but he's gone 3-3 over hurdles; it wasn't a strong Grade 1 he won at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m6f, heavy; won on good) but he bombed clear to win it by some 8l despite taking a firm grip, and his previous defeat of Thedeviluno looks all the better now; there's a nagging concern that his keen-going tendencies might come at a cost in this race, but other than that he's solid. |
4/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 53y |
11st 10lb |
Four bumper runs, the first in 2024; after a year off, third at Clonmel last March; won at Ballinrobe in May; fairly tame effort at the Galway festival; made a bright start over hurdles at the same venue and looked smart when winning a four-runner Grade 2 event at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy); form well franked by runner-up Thedeviluno at Doncaster. |

12st 0lb |
0-5 but stand-out effort came on his only start on decent ground when a 1.25l second at Fairyhouse in January (Seven Towers third); tailed off both starts since on soft and heavy; return to quicker ground could spark a revival. |

17th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

The best of four bumper runs was when a close runner-up at Fairyhouse in January but was beaten a long way at the same track since; has questions to answer now. |

Has hit the frame on all five maiden hurdle outings and chased home his two main market rivals at Kilbeggan last time; can be involved again but looks a bit more exposed than some of his rivals. |

Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |

Bumper winner has won two of her three starts over hurdles; came up short when upped to listed class at Galway on latest; sole start on softer than good was poor and Townend prefers the prospects of Davy Crockett. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Struggled on heavy ground on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper but has won all three starts since on good ground, including over timber in Listowel maiden and impressive in 5-runner 2m Roscommon novice early this month, keen but making most and readily drawing away two out; slick jumper, can continue to progress and major player. |

Front-runner placed on five of 7 attempts hurdling, notably touched off in Gowran novice handicap and again twice in similar Fairyhouse contests, latest early this month; should make a bold bid back in maiden company on a track which suits his style of running. |
