22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |
11st 12lb |
Won Gowran beginners' chase last season before being pulled-up in the Irish National; back to form on seasonal return when second in 2m5f Navan Listed handicap but two disappointing runs since and now reverts to hurdles off 14lb lower mark so has to be respected. |

Won a Gowran beginners' chase last season before being pulled-up in the Irish National; bounced back to form on return when second in a Navan Listed event but questions to answer now after being pulled-up in testing ground in the Thyestes Chase; cheekpieces added. |

Useful novice chaser last season, winning 2m4f beginners' event at this venue in February and second to a clear winner in 3m1f Limerick Grade 3; pulled up after mistakes in 3m5f Irish Grand National; met some trouble in running before keeping on promisingly for third over an extended 2m4f at Navan on reappearance; trip should be fine. |

Been running consistently in defeat in maidens and on handicap debut at Clonmel last time; latter was her first run after a break and should have improved from it; a solid chance off 2lb higher. |

Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |
