29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Confirmed his staying power with Bowl win at Aintree last year; got his campaign off to a fine start with John Durkan victory from Fact To File over 2m4f here; third in a blanket finish in the King George before 5l second to a restored Fact To File at Leopardstown; travelled powerfully for stunningly impressive Gold Cup triumph to leap-frog Fact To File in the ratings. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the Arkle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and relished the step up to 3m1f in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (good to soft) last April; that win has been the catalyst for a string of excellent efforts, including his third in a blanket finish in the King George (3m, good to soft) in December and his 5l second in the Irish Gold Cup (3m, soft) last month; can be difficult to settle which is something of a concern in view of today's stiff stamina test, but on the flip side he's been finishing his races strongly; respected. |

2nd 5 |
2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |

Won the Arkle at Cheltenham in 2024; kept at shorter distances until impressive in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last April; ended the campaign with a fine Sandown win and began again in style, edging out Fact To File in the John Durkan; third in a thrilling King George; will need to settle better to maximise his chance at this track. |

Two good runs for this yard, latterly at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) succumbing to a hurdling newcomer who had won three times on the Flat in Germany; might be the answer. |

0-11 over hurdles when trained in Ireland but her third at Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in May was a good effort and she has possibilities if in similar form on this stable debut. |

Showed some ability in bumpers last year but hasn't built upon that over hurdles; a decent effort on yard debut at Galway but was tailed-off at Gowran since. |

30th Sep 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Hasn't built on the promise he showed in bumpers in early 2022; no improvement in handicaps but it was a step back in the right direction at Galway 19 days ago when beaten 8l on his yard debut; might have finished closer without a mistake at the last and entitled to come on for that first run of the campaign; could go well. |
