9th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Has made good strides since his debut in December, never really landing a blow but best run yet when eighth in a strong renewal of the Supreme Novices' last month; steps up in trip now and leading claims. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made his debut only in December and won a big-field maiden at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January on his second hurdle start; he was receiving weight from the first two when third in the Grade 3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran (2m, soft to heavy) last month but it was still a highly creditable run behind two experienced class acts in Fil Dor and Sharjah, and this very lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer for his top trainer; interesting. |

Bumper winner; chased home Dark Raven in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day and made it 2-3 with Down Royal maiden hurdle win last month; much more on his plate but entirely unexposed. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
10st 9lb |
0-28 under rules and 0-8 in chases but has run well in defeat on occasion in this sphere; decent fourth at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March; 8l second at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; modest fifth at Perth latest; needs to find more to get his head in front. |

27-race maiden; last two efforts were respectable, including when runner-up at Down Royal (3m2f, good; beaten 8l) over a month ago; others make more appeal for win purposes. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner; failed to adapt to chasing in six starts last season, including in novice handicaps on his last three outings; best hurdles form at 2m-2m4f, though ran with credit when fourth in a strong 3m handicap at Aintree last year. |
10/1 |

14th 23 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 7lb
|
First reserve; three-time hurdles winner has been beaten a long way in five chase starts this season, including in novice handicaps the last twice; unseated at the fourth at Wexford last time; 10lb lower mark in this sphere and has won on good ground, so there are positives if returning to form. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdles winner; beaten a long way in three beginners' chases this term, most recently never counted on handicap debut in Naas Listed contest in February; hurdles form on better ground so these improved conditions could see improvement (10lb lower than over hurdles). |

11st 7lb |
Ended his novice season with third in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown; took his form to another level last season; backed up his Thyestes win by taking the Grade 2 Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse en route to leading home a one-two-three for the stable in the Grand National; makes a delayed reappearance after missing the John Durkan in December. |

Capped his first season over fences with third to Minella Cocooner in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April and took his form to another level with two Grade 3 wins on testing ground in Ireland this year; the latest was in a good scrap with Intense Raffles, who's now a whopping 15lb better off; that helps to show that even more improvement is needed. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Second to Lecky Watson in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham last March; while comfortably dismissed in the closing stages of his three starts this winter, the first two of those were Grade 1 events and giving 8lb to Grangeclare West and Gerri Colombe at Fairyhouse (blinkers replaced cheekpieces) on latest outing makes that result look a whole lot better; above all, perhaps, while unraced beyond 3m2f, he has strongly suggested on plenty of occasions that he has serious stamina reserves; each-way appeal. |
28/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Won Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown (3m, soft) last season and 4l second to Lecky Watson in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; made little impression in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on return and down the field in the Savills; a winner of the 2024 Albert Bartlett on heavy, he should relish the ground but race conditions don't favour him; tongue tie and blinkers go on for the first time. |

Bumper winner; runner up twice from seven starts in maiden hurdles and rated 108; beaten just 2.75l on penultimate at Ballinrobe; not as good at Roscommon latest but capable of better and she holds leading claims. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |

Bumper winner in 2023; 2024 never went to plan but has improved this season, with latest second at Ballinrobe her best yet (keeping on over 2m2f, soft); considered. |

2nd 3 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner; failed to complete in two hurdle starts towards the end of last year but signs she's getting her act together in two runs this summer; built on promising Tipperary return when runner-up in a 2m4f Wexford maiden hurdle last time out; should be involved if she handles the drop back in trip but unproven on slow ground. |

Got off the mark on fourth bumper start when taking a heavy ground Punchestown event in January; the form of that race is solid and with no ground concerns she is a player. |

Thrice raced in bumpers and form is only modest; was a good fourth in a strong mares race at Naas in November but was disappointing at Fairyhouse on her latest run; will need to bounce back and improve. |

Bumper winner in 2022 was an expensive purchase afterwards and has been struggling to make the breakthrough over hurdles, albeit solid runs of late under forcing tactics at both Tramore and when second (Ciao Adios third) over 2m at Listowel; back up in trip here and should again be thereabouts. |

Still very much in the picture when unseating at Naas in December and bounced back from a lesser run when runner-up at Leopardstown last month; however, was a bit disappointing at Naas 17 days ago and probably needs a career best. |
