3rd 1 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding. |

12th 13 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this return to further; furthermore, he suffered a heavy defeat at the Cheltenham Festival most recently and this is another difficult task. |
66/1 |

21th 20 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Front-runner; convincing Newbury win (2m) under Daire McConville in November before 11l third off this 10lb higher mark behind two well-handicapped rivals at Doncaster (2m, good to soft again) in December; off since; needs better. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner and a winning chaser; 3-13 over hurdles and rated 135; mark left unchanged after an odds-on win at Clonmel; smart sort but has never won a handicap. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |
11st 6lb |
Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 135; bounced back to form when runner-up in a similar race at Ballinrobe last time (2m3f, good), with Farren Glory a neck behind in third; gave Farren Glory 5lb that day and they now race off levels, while claimer also takes off 7lb; big contender. |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-11 over hurdles and rated 132; has lost his way since fine second in the Plate at Cheltenham in 2025; pulled up in Leopardstown chase when last seen in February; revival needed. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Came from well off the pace to land his third win over fences in a veterans' handicap at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) in March off 5lb lower; runner-up in a similar contest at Haydock (2m4f, good) the following month but was pulled up after making several jumping errors at Aintree last time; may be a shade high in the weights at present. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 16 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 6lb |
Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |

Four-time winner over hurdles and has performed respectably over fences without winning; not a bad run in a 2m4f handicap here last time after seven months off and can go well. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |

Got his head back in front over timber at Fairyhouse in April; struggled on the level since and yet to show enough in five starts over fences to suggest he can defy this mark. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 0lb |
Dual-purpose veteran won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April on soft to heavy; last of 8 on first run since on the level at Tramore (2m, good); is 4lb lower than last Flat success but softer ground would be preferable. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Doubled his tally over fences when winning this race last year off 8lb lower (yielding to soft) under O'Keeffe; has run just once since then, on seasonal return at Punchestown when an okay eighth of 18 in a 2m handicap hurdle (good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now and he has won on good; interesting. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Four hurdle starts were in the second half of 2023; moderate form then, and also in points and over fences in 2024; much-improved last year, winning a point and back-to-back handicaps over fences, both over staying trips; this distance looks inadequate; stable's current form is a positive. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Has found some form this year, getting off the mark in a point before staying on best to win at Limerick last time out; runner-up has boosted the form since and there's nothing wrong with a 5lb rise. |

Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |
