4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
In good form last year for Shane Nolan and better again this year in cheekpieces, backing up Down Royal success with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success last month under hold-up tactics; up an aggregate of 19lb so more needed from 2lb out of handicap but in such good form has to be respected. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
In good form last year for Shane Nolan, winning off 98 at Limerick and running well in defeat off revised mark subsequently; seemed well suited by good ground at that stage, but proved she handles soft when a stylish winner at Down Royal six weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces; reversed previous Cork form with Catchabird. |

11st 8lb |
Hurdle winner who ran a cracker when second off 120 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary in October (2m, good); form tailed off then but relished the switch to fences when scoring at Downpatrick in March, beating Dee's Lady by 4.25l, below that when fifth behind Coral River but will appreciate this sound surface. |

Relished the switch to fences when coming from the back to win on chasing debut in a Downpatrick beginners' (19.5f, yielding) just 16 days ago; this is a harder race but he did it nicely the last day and he should go well again. |

Prolific Flat and dual hurdles winner at a fairly modest level; long losing run but twice placed in claiming hurdles including latest when 6l off Cozone at Clonmel (2m4f, good); rider's claim brings the pair closer but still needs to find more. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when making the frame in consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Worcester this summer but his run there last time was disappointing and it's now over two years since his only win; drops back in trip today; others have more pressing claims. |

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. |

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. |
