11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Tongue tied on last two starts; Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown (3m, soft) in February was also the first time he went beyond 2m5f, when 33-1 and spending most of the race out the back but running on into fourth of 12, beaten 14l; some encouragement might be derived from that but he didn't see it out so well when confronted by 3m2f in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
He's performed respectably in defeat at the last two Cheltenham Festivals and won a Grade 2 at Down Royal (2m3f, good to yielding) in November; 14l fourth when upped in trip in the Irish Gold Cup (3m, soft) last month and he'll be doing very well if he improves upon that finishing position today. |

Smart performer over shorter distances; ended last season with second to Spindleberry in 2m4f Grade 1 at Fairyhouse; made winning reappearance in five-runner Grade 2 event at Down Royal (2m3f, good to yielding) in November; outpointed by Iroko at Ascot last month; first time beyond 2m5f and tongue-tie tried; vulnerable. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Runner up in a Grade 2 over hurdles; rock solid form in defeat in first two chases; off the mark in good style on return from 289 days off in a Listowel beginners' in September (2m6f, gd-yld); runner-up Oscars Brother has since franked that form; could yet prove better than his rating of 137; leading chance. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Lightly raced 6yo; runner-up in a Grade 2 over hurdles and made the frame behind top-notchers Firefox and Dancing City in his first two runs over fences (2m4f/2m7f); wasn't beaten far on either occasion and has very strong claims here. |

0-12 as a chaser but ran well in first-time cheekpieces (joining tongue-tie) at Punchestown last time and won't be far away if taking to the blinkers. |

Now 0-10 chasing and hasn't progressed from his novice season; looks to have a good bit to find. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival. |

Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott; 0-8 chasing; well beaten when unseating at the last in the Troytown at Navan (3m, heavy); better effort when 14l behind in the Paddy Power (3m, yielding) at Leopardstown; others preferred. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Superior hurdle form is reflected in this lower chase mark; 0-8 in this discipline but was third over 3m4f at Leopardstown before pulling up in a Listed handicap at Navan; no surprise to see him run well as drying ground won't faze him. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
10st 10lb |
0-7 over fences with an 18lb lower mark in this sphere; easily won a Listed hurdle here in December (3m2f, soft to heavy); fell back over fences at Punchestown next time before making a couple of jumping errors when a beaten 5-2 favourite over 3m here in February (heavy); stayed on for third at Leopardstown last time (3m5f, yielding to soft). |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 4f 61y |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced for a horse of his age; wide-margin winner of a valuable 3m handicap hurdle at Navan in December (3m2f, soft to heavy); fell at the sixth back over fences next time; fourth behind both So They Tell Me and Promontory at Navan last time (3m, heavy); made a couple of mistakes on that occasion; has 18lb lower mark in this sphere but the ones ahead the last day are preferred. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 155y |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over fences but has run ok in defeat; shaped nicely when third in a C&D beginners' on penultimate and that form has since been boosted by the fourth Born Bright; go well back in handicap company with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |
11st 5lb |
Two-time winning hurdler rated 110 in that discipline; 0-6 over fences and rated 7lb lower; not a bad run in a beginners' at Roscommon last month and cheekpieces could eke out more; go well for last year's winning yard. |
