11st 0lb |
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. |

Just 1-17 over fences and that 3m1f victory at Kilbeggan was in 2024; beaten a head at Limerick last year and a neck in Listed contest at Leopardstown in March, and has crept up the ratings as a result; another decent effort at Punchestown last time when Cobden got to know him. |

Sole chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024 but career-best on latest when just failing to get up in 2m6f Leopardstown handicap in March (yielding-to-soft), his first run since August; should go well. |

Solee chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024, absent since second in same race last August off 11lb higher; lack of a recent run a concern, so too the ground. |

10st 0lb |
Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |

Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences in 18 starts but ran a fine race at Clonmel last time over nearly 3m; stepping up in trip will be a help and can be involved off the same mark. |

Still seeking a first chase win after 17 attempts, runner-up three times and has run creditably in the last two editions of the 3m6f Portertstown Chase at Fairyhouse; others seem more likely unless cheekpieces do the trick. |

Narrowly got the better of a frustrating maiden at Perth (3m, good; from 5lb lower) last August; kept on into never-nearer fourth over fences at Sligo (3m2f) in October but absent since; best watched unless market speaks favourably. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won Class 4 Stratford handicap (2m6f, good) last June and returned from layoff with creditable second in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that form puts him on the premises here and he stays 3m perfectly well but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
