6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Supreme winner two seasons ago; 0-7 in the meantime and has been chasing, last time beaten the thick end of 20l when one of the favourites for the 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham; if this return to hurdling and the first-time cheekpieces float his boat, then he might not be far away. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has form on most types of ground; consistent sort who has never finished out of the first three in his completed starts; broadly suffering from a frustrating bout of seconditis since switched to chasing (2m4f/3m) but this return to Cheltenham may prove the cure, as he won the 2024 Supreme in sole attempt at this venue; major Irish stable landed this corresponding prize in 2019; on an attractive mark and holds solid claims. |

2nd 6 |
17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won 2024 Supreme Novices'; beaten odds-on favourite but decent form in two beginners' chases last season, notably when second to Brown Advisory winner Lecky Watson at Naas; off for a year before second to Predators Glory over an extended 2m4f at this venue; stepped up to this trip at Punchestown, one length down when brought down four out; worth another chance. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 11lb |
Last season's 4m Scottish National winner but mixed bag this term however, including early faller in Thyestes and most recently mistakes before unseating four out in Aintree National; hard to be confident in and handicapper not relenting. |
16/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Leopardstown seventh to Favori De Champdou at Christmas was a glimpse of what he's capable of; the performance which really gets the juices flowing, however, came in the Scottish National at Ayr (4m, good to soft) last April when very confidently ridden and unleashed to find a tremendous response on the run-in, cutting down the leader; it's very hard to rule him out after that, despite the 12lb higher mark. |
16/1 |

5th 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with Scottish National win at Ayr (4m, good to soft); very pleasing return when third to top-class Romeo Coolio in Grade 1 Drinmore here (2m4f, yielding to soft); a shade disappointing in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown when seventh (3m, yielding); well backed to land the Theyestes last time when stable first string but fell at the fifth; Townend abandons ship now but he has ability and likes this track. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 8lb |
146-rated chaser; decent strike rate of 3-6 over hurdles; won on testing ground at Tipperary (2m7f, sft-hvy) on penultimate but pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 on latest (2m4f, yld-sft); acts on better ground but this trip may be on the sharp side; place shout. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Got his career back on track on returning to hurdles at Thurles (2m7f, soft to heavy), but that was still beneath his peak form and Paul Townend deserts him for Storm Heart. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 |
5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
11st 0lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner; ran well in defeat over fences last season and got off the mark on return in Wexford Listed contest (2m7f, good to yielding); has questions to answer after a trio of no-shows but is a definite player in this lineup back over timber. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |

Dual hurdle winner has been below form in that sphere on recent starts; needs to get back to his best on belated chasing debut. |

Two hurdle wins include 2m5f rated hurdle at Fairyhouse last season (good); safely held in handicaps of late (well-backed favourite at Killarney last time when hampered) but don't rule out. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well over 2m4f here in October but this is a stiffer assignment and she has shown no further progress, well-held third to notable stablemate at Navan (Listed) most recently; sole win over hurdles came in an ordinary race last summer; others preferred. |
