10st 6lb |
Veteran has won five times (four over fences) but he has failed to fire in a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase since returning from a 320 day break; remains 8lb above sole hurdles win; others appeal more. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 5lb |
Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran. |

Made all for easy wins over fences and hurdles last summer; absent since faller out when in contention in 3m Cork handicap chase in October; veteran 10lb above last winning mark and may just need this comeback run. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced over hurdles (1-6) and was a disappointing favourite on her final run in this discipline off a similar mark in March; 2m4f is on the tight side for one who stays so well over fences (ran in the Irish National last time). |

Most recent of four chase wins when scoring by 10l over an extended 3m3f on soft at Cheltenham in November 2023; ran creditably when second in 3m Listed mares' chase on heavy at Exeter in February; game display when best of the Irish in third behind Myretown in the Ultima at Cheltenham; helps to give her trainer a strong hand. |

Point' and hurdle winner has been placed a number of times over fences, inc' over C&D; well below his best over hurdles and fences on last five starts and needs a revival. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Getting long in the tooth now and was well beaten on latest outing in March but has a C&D win on his CV and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; cannot be ruled out. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
12yo whose form has been up and down since he won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last February but he's dropped down the weights and performed respectably at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December when last seen; he could benefit from today's step back up in trip and he's in with a chance. |
