8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Won a bumper at the festival here in 2023; also took a 2m4f novice hurdle here last October; only subsequent run last season was in a Grade 2 event at Navan last December; should be sharper now than when outpointed by 143-rated hurdler King Of Kinsgfield over C&D on chasing debut. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Won a bumper at this meeting in 2023 and got off the mark over hurdles at Sligo last summer before taking a 2m4f novice back here; below that form in a Navan Grade 2 when last seen; however, goes well fresh and is the choice of Paul Townend from the stable's three so greatly respected on chasing debut. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Inconsistent since opening chase account in a beginners' at Naas in December (2m4f, heavy); ran well when a 5.75l fourth of 14 in a valuable handicap at Punchestown in February but pulled up at Cheltenham on latest; capable of better and preferred by Jack Kennedy. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Inconsistent in this novice campaign but ran well when fourth of 14 at Punchestown (3m3f, heavy) last month and that performance can be upgraded, as he was outpaced in the straight in that slowly run race but rallied strongly in the closing stages; it's almost certain there will be a better gallop here and he could be seen to very good effect up the Cheltenham hill. |

15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 12lb |
Accounted for two Willie Mullins-trained runners to land a 2m4f Naas beginners' chase in December; failed to build on that in a 3m novice contest at the same venue; fell at the sixth in a DRF handicap; one of six for the stable; has plenty of weight and others may stay better. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); has shown nothing in four chase starts for this yard; return to hurdling at this level needs to spark a revival. |
6/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024; modest chase form relative to a 14lb higher hurdles mark; no encouragement from his first handicap chase run at Punchestown; fresh headgear combination. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Form of 122 in points and the form of his 2022 point win worked out nicely; not so much the two 2023 efforts and he was tailed off when making his rules debut last week at 50-1; needs to leave that run behind. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Has won a maiden hurdle and a novice chase; has looked a bit outclassed in Grade 3s in his last three races and a similar scenario seems likely in this company (well behind Jesse Evans last time). |
