2nd Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles has bounced back to form this season; has finished runner up in Grade 2s the last twice at Gowran and Navan on soft to heavy ground; the drying track here is not in his favour and this trip may be a shade sharp too, albeit he can't be discounted in this company. |

11st 12lb |
1-9 over fences; that win came in C&D Grade 2 novice in February 2023; failed to complete the course in three chase attempts last season; got a confidence-boosting run on stable debut at Tramore in August; long-priced fourth in the Kerry National; big burden now. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 11lb |
Dual chase winner with last win coming at Galway in October 2024 (2m7f, soft); tailed off in a Grade 2 hurdle on seasonal return at Navan and similar story in a Listed handicap chase back there next time (2m5f, soft to heavy); distant third over hurdles at Gowran last month (2m4f, heavy); back down to winning mark now but others more likely. |

Grade 2 hurdle winner over 3m in 2021 but few runs since then; winless over fences last season and beaten when fell back over hurdles last time; others preferred. |

Dual hurdle winner, including a Grade 2 at Gowran in 2021 on testing ground; has been mostly over fences since but not as effective as yet; difficult to assess coming back from an absence and is probably best watched. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and it was a cracking run to be fourth in the Irish National in April last time considering he carried an 8lb penalty for winning the Ulster National; that Fairyhouse defeat was his first for this yard; entitled to run well. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |

Beaten a short head in 2023 Thyestes; started last season brightly with Troytown fourth but pulled up in three big handicaps afterwards; surprise winner on debut for new yard in 2m4f Navan handicap hurdle early last month; maintained his revival with victory over Final Order in the 3m5f Ulster National; 8lb penalty makes this difficult. |

Point winner is lightly-raced maiden under Rules; fair fifth at Wexford in the spring; well-beaten fourth to Glenmalure Lodge at Ballinrobe after a break but should strip fitter here. |

14-race maiden who has yet to place and has rarely threatened to do so, recent Tipperary chase effort poor; hard to fancy. |
