8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |
10st 9lb |
Relishes testing conditions and took advantage of them twice this season at Limerick when winning a 2m5f Limerick handicap hurdle and a 2m2f handicap chase; up 16lb compared to his win over timber at Punchestown when well beaten and found it similarly difficult off his revised chase mark at Gowran last time (2m4f, heavy); others more likely. |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |

A better chaser than hurdler; good chase run here when last seen in March; rated lower over hurdles and can go well but lacks a recent run. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 13lb |
Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 5y |
12st 0lb |
Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences; was a 7l runner-up at Navan in a 2m4f handicap hurdle in November but pulled-up at Leopardstown next time; a squeak if back to form. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark. |

Came on from his return with a 66-1 third at Fairyhouse in January and posted a career best when beaten just half a length at Gowran last month; may have won that without a mistake at the last and a 3lb rise is fair. |

Dual hurdle and chase winner has regressed after a decent comeback run in December from a long absence, so questions remain. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
12st 0lb |
Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form. |
12/1 |
|

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Veteran has not done a great deal of racing; good effort when fourth at Punchestown (3m, heavy); out of money over fences at Limerick (2m7f, soft to heavy) and beaten 22l back at Punchestown last time (2m6f, soft to heavy); a fair bit to do at these weights. |

Narrowly got the better of a frustrating maiden at Perth (3m, good; from 5lb lower) last August; kept on into never-nearer fourth over fences at Sligo (3m2f) in October but absent since; best watched unless market speaks favourably. |

Stayed on from off the pace for third over C&D (soft) last December and came second in cross-country chase on Bank course at Punchestown festival (3m, soft) on latest outing in May; 8lb out of weights today and would appeal more on slower ground but still considered each-way. |

Dual chase winner who got off the mark over hurdles here last month in decisive fashion, going clear on the run-in over 2m (soft); second in this race last year (Krabat third) off 7lb higher so obvious claims (1lb wrong). |
