8st 7lb |
Can make the running; superb 2022-23 season was his best over hurdles/fences, including big-field wins at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals; a 10yo before his attentions were turned to the Flat and he won twice (2m1f/1m6f) last August/September; the five good handicaps since, however, have seen him comfortably held (last four were over fences); off since April; today's hood is his first ever headgear. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Landed the Cork Derby (1m4f) last May and a Royal Ascot handicap (2m4f) last June, before his excellent second in the Ebor Handicap at York (1m6f) in August; not disgraced on final start but needs a serious advance to mix it with the best of these in today's Group 3. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |

Landed the Cork Derby (1m4f, good) in May off 93 and followed up in the Ascot Stakes off 95 (2m4f, gd-fm); runner up in the Ebor on latest off 98; can give another good account off 3lb higher. |

9st 2lb |
Reverting to Flat has proved a huge success, most notably with his 2m4f win in a 20-runner handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) latest outing but he also scored over 1m4f the time before and the way he went through the Ascot race is not a disincentive; up 3lb in a stronger race but still of major interest. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 7lb |
Second in last season's Jack Richards Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft, 125-1); won a Kilbeggan beginners' chase in June, 2.25l in front of You Oughta Know; left two disappointing efforts behind when a creditable fourth of seven at Cheltenham in October (3m1f, good); back chasing after moderate hurdles run last time and Kennedy rides for the first time. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Rallied well when 125-1 second in a 2m4f handicap chase at last year's Cheltenham Festival; he's since won a beginners chase in Ireland and ran respectably at Cheltenham last time on his second attempt at about 3m; needs to build on that in today's first hurdle race since August 2024. |
12/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Surprising that he appeared a non-stayer over 3m in last month's Kerry National as he looked all about stamina last season over 2m4f, including when a 125-1 second to Caldwell Potter in a handicap here in March; that's strong form and he's entitled to another chance at this trip. |

125-rated hurdler was in good form 2024/25 season, winning twice and running well in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; well below that level in light campaign last season however and now tries fences. |

11st 11lb |
Four chase wins include the valuable 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick at Christmas 2024; has run only four times since then; fortunate to win a 2m2f Thurles handicap chase in February, after the leader fell at the last; well beaten off revised mark at Limerick. |

Has only one win over hurdles but ran a cracker to be fourth in this race last year off the same mark; ran over fences without winning first four runs this season but a fine effort when not the clearest of passages in the Martin Pipe last time; a player. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |

Has failed to match the pick of his hurdles form since switched to fences; last two attempts in this sphere resulted in creditable efforts in notable staying handicaps last spring, including in the Pertemps Final at this meeting; quite exposed, however, and is 0-13 since debut win. |

11st 12lb |
Two wins on the Flat, rated as high as 95 when with Sir Mark Prescott; a long way below that in a Flat event at Listowel a month ago; took well enough to hurdling in four outings between March and June, best effort when second at Punchestown in May; let down by his jumping at Downpatrick in September; good chance if producing his best on first-time cheekpieces. |

Won a twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and has made the frame on all four starts over hurdles; weak finishing effort at Punchestown in June provides cause for concern, but looks the clear pick of these runners based on his Naas third in April and Punchestown second in May. |

Dual French hurdles winner showed some ability in his AW starts but just a moderate run back from a break at Killarney in July when a distant third; back over hurdles now with another break to overcome; interesting that Jack Kennedy rides as he is 1-1 for this trainer. |
