24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December but hasn't completed any of his four subsequent races, the latest after wind surgery (and in a new visor); cheekpieces return and an easy lead would help matters; tailed off in this last year. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Has form at 3m1f; made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December; unable to dominate in the same manner and eventually pulled up in all three outings since; had wind surgery (his second) since latest; wears new headgear; again far from certain to have his own way. |

Made all here (2m4f, good to soft) in December and remains well handicapped on his old form for Willie Mullins (at up to 3m1f); however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last two starts, the latest only 12 days ago. |

Right back to her best when putting in a game effort to finish runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham, with the other three rivals in this contest in behind; return to quicker ground is fine but hard to see how she turns the form around with Lossiemouth given how easily she won that contest. |

1-31 under rules, with sole win coming in a Gowran handicap chase in 2023; posted a decent effort over timber last time when staying on for a 3l fourth (3m, soft to heavy); up 1lb and overall record is off-putting. |

All five wins have come over hurdles but has managed useful form in defeat over fences this term; finished in front of his shorter-priced stablemate Ricky Langford (also runs here) when second at Killarney in October; tongue-tie tried when unplaced over C&D, left off now. |

Off for three years after winning a Thurles maiden hurdle in November 2019; no show in three beginners' chases but much more encouraging third to Soloman Lane in 2m4f Punchestown handicap last month, mistake at the last proving costly; again let down by jumping when faller two out at Fairyhouse when holding every chance; on a competitive mark but jumping a concern. |
