21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run; in action on Flat and over hurdles since a good run over fences in the spring; blinkers added now; potentially interesting, though he needs to reverse Grand Annual form with Jasko Des Dames. |
6/1 |

9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose sort is on a long losing run, well held in valuable 2m6f Galway handicap hurdle on latest; previous two Flat maiden runs were poor so seemingly fair bit to do off this opening mark but is unexposed in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 5lb |
One of three for yard; generally out of form in 2025 in chases and on the Flat; narrowly denied in this race last year off this mark and this may have been a long-term target so would be no surprise to see a revival; interesting. |

9st 11lb |
Dual winner over both hurdles and fences albeit some time ago; returned from 277-day absence for current yard in October, well held on the Flat and twice over hurdles; belated AW debut and only second career Flat start. |

Useful four-time jumps winner; has never run on the Flat and lacks a recent outing; has moved from Gavin Cromwell to Paul Flynn. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises. |

11st 12lb |
Listed hurdle winner last December for Willie Mullins; departed that yard for £11,000 and no form as yet for current stable (2m7f hurdle/3m5f chase); no real significance in another headgear switch. |

23rd May 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Well beaten behind Bal De Rio at Clonmel last time but was giving that rival 14lb then and more favourable terms today; not without hope. |

21st Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 2f 112y |
11st 8lb |
Impressive winner of a maiden hurdle for Henry de Bromhead in 2020 but never fulfilled that early promise; tried chasing this season, only completing once but not devoid of promise; back over hurdles here but others preferred. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 12lb |
Gained the most recent of his three chase wins in a 2m3f handicap on good ground at Ballinrobe last May; lacks a recent run but trip/ground in his favour so local challenger respected. |

Without a win since June 2022; no sign of losing run ending in recent starts; new headgear combination needs to have a transformative effect. |

Dual hurdler winner and better known in that sphere these days; while he's shown a bit of ability on the level down the years, that's been over much longer trips than this. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Over three years since last successful when winning here; doesn't look in good enough form to end the drought. |
