11st 6lb |
Better chaser than hurdler and showed that when leaving some of these rivals behind in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe in May; 9lb looks a tolerable rise and he looks likely to play a leading role here; has won here over hurdles. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 7lb |
Made all to win his maiden hurdle and chase and stays 3m1f; only beaten 5l at Galway last summer but down the field in his other handicaps; stable jockey rides but lacks a run and hard to fancy on form. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 6lb |
Won a 2m4f beginners' at Fairyhouse in November (good); only beaten 0.5l in follow-up bid back at that track; returned from a break at Punchestown festival last time on handicap chase debut but was disappointing; the fact O'Keeffe chooses him gives some confidence that he may be primed to give his best. |

11st 12lb |
Bumper and hurdles winner is 0-16 over fences; has run with much credit in defeat in valuable handicaps, notably when third at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival and second in the Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse last November, both races over 3m6f; pulled up in three of his last four starts, so comes with plenty of risks attached now. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 3lb |
Hit form since joining this yard, winning twice over fences including the Leinster National at Naas; also won over hurdles at Gowran; this ground is faster than ideal but his hurdles mark is appealing. |
8/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Built on stable debut second with an easy handicap chase win in December off 114 (3m, soft to heavy); backed that up with a handicap hurdle success at Gowran next time (3m, heavy); not seen to best effect in a slowly run race at Punchestown last time (3m4f, heavy); not discounted with a stronger pace to aim at; 2lb wrong. |
6/1 |

15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 3lb |
Some promise in beginners' chases last season for Colm Murphy; built on stable debut second with an easy win from stablemate Eves Vladimir in Navan handicap chase (3m, soft to heavy); backed that up with a handicap hurdle success at Gowran; strong stayer, progressive and suited by heavy ground |

Dual hurdle winner, including over 3m, well held latest at Bellewstown; 0-4 chasing, emptying quickly at Roscommon in June. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 166y |
11st 7lb |
Useful handicap chaser with winning form at up to 2m5f; back from a break and potentially well treated over hurdles (17lb lower than his chase mark); however, this trip is probably inadequate. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Beaten a head by The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse in April (2m5f, yielding to soft); creditable effort around the cross-country course at the Punchestown festival last time (3m1f, good to yielding); not ruled out. |
6/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 25y |
11st 3lb |
Dual winner over hurdles although lightly raced these days; runner-up in a pair of competitive staying handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Cork last season; goes well fresh and unlikely to be far away after almost six months off. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner was well beaten in this last year but ran a nice race on sole start since at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) in January; 3lb rise for that 6l second seems harsh and this is harder but he has to be considered for yard that won this in 2024. |
9/1 |

20th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 80y |
11st 1lb |
Without a win over timber since October 2023 at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) off 102 and remains 8lb above that mark; has been out of form this season and no signs of a revival when pulled up on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Sole Flat win (31 attempts) was debut in 2020; had two hurdle wins (2m5f and 2m4f) in 2025 and there have been bits of chase form in recent months; visor returning instead of blinkers might possibly help, but there are more likely candidates. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |
