Won two bumpers, one of them at this venue; useful 129-rated hurdler; won on chase debut at Galway over an extended 2m6f trip; made a bad mistake three out when remote fourth at Killarney; similar error two out ended her chance of beating the favourite in a mares' event at Listowel. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in Ireland; beaten in a match over fences on stable debut (first-time visor); this return to hurdles is welcomed but he appears to have developed some of his own ideas; had wind surgery. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest. |

Rated 139 over hurdles, two of three wins having been at Bellewstown; ran well on chase debut when second in Galway beginners' last summer but didn't count at Tipperary more recently; not easy to assess back chasing. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Useful 3m hurdler for Willie Mullins before fruitless spell over fences in Britain; seems to have been revitalised by point-to-points, winning three in the spring; in contention when slipping up in banks race at Punchestown; chased home Solitary Man at Killarney and 3lb better off here. |

Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins; in good form in points prior to slipping up late on at Punchestown when he was keeping on; still up against it with some of these. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |

Decent novice hurdler for Willie Mullins (suited by a sound surface) but still a maiden chaser; however, comes here on the back of three point-to-point wins for Michael Mangan, having earlier chased home Fountain House over the banks at Lingstown; not one to rule out on return to the track. |

Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |

Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |

4-16 over hurdles but yet to win over the bigger obstacles (0-11); out of sorts this year but he was a 1.25l runner up in this race last year off this mark at 25-1 and he was running a better race when unseating at Listowel last time. |

Four wins over hurdles (rated 130), one of them here; maiden after 10 chase starts and has had jumping issues, but was second off 120 at Roscommon last summer; only beaten 7l in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown where he was a huge price. |

Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Yet to win over fences but some fine efforts in defeat, second in a Grade 3 at Naas in 2021 and fifth in the Irish National the same year; off for almost three years but plenty to like about his comeback run over hurdles at Cork over Easter before fading in a Punchestown novice hurdle; sets the standard at his best and this is a good opportunity if he can produce. |

Has a nice bit of experience over fences but is 0-6 and she put in one of her lesser efforts when fourth of seven at Sligo latest; in top hands but more needed on her handicap debut in this sphere. |
