25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
10st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-13 over hurdles, the win coming in a Killarney handicap (2m1f, good) off 6lb lower in August; beaten 11l off revised mark at Listowel in September; okay run on the Flat at Thurles on latest; career best required off this mark. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Gained third hurdles victory when landing handicap off 100 at Down Royal in March; good effort off same mark over fences when 3.5l second to Butty O Brien at Wexford 35 days ago; needs improvement back in a beginners', but in good form. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
12st 0lb |
Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Won this last year off 121 (yielding-to-soft) and and enjoying a fine season back hurdling, winning two handicaps at Punchestown on good-to-yielding and yielding; out of depth at Leopardstown early this month but top-weight has to be respected back chasing in repeat bid. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season, winning two handicap hurdles at Punchestown, over 2m4f (good to yielding) in October and 2m3f (yielding) in December; beaten 24l off 127 at Fairyhouse last time (2m4f, heavy); would receive 27lb from El Fabiolo in a handicap rather than 5lb here. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Enjoying a fine season and has won twice at Punchestown this term, over 2m4f (gd-yld) in October and 2m3f (yielding) on latest in December (6lb rise for that); will need a career best to go in again and he might prefer a sounder surface. |

Has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; was a solid second at Down Royal but made a bad mistake there last time and ran below form; has to rebound after just four days. |

Mare likes good ground and has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; chase win was off 107 last summer and stuck to her guns when second over C&D in lower-grade contest last time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |
