11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
10yo who's had 70 races (only one of today's rivals has managed even half that) and won 11; latest was the 3m5f cross-country at Cheltenham Festival, comfortably holding off Favori De Champdou for career-best form off the same mark as today; having taken so well to that discipline (he also won there in December) and produced his best performances away from soft ground, he has to be considered seriously. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) in December, winning quite comfortably by just over 4l; weakened into fifth in soft-ground C&D contest won by Favori De Champdou in January but ran well for a long way and ought to be better suited by the less testing conditions today; each-way claims at least. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) last month, leading from the ninth fence and beating J'Arrive De L'Est quite comfortably by over 4l; went up 9lb for that, though, and may not be ideally suited by the slower ground today. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Both chase wins have been in quite valuable 2m1f handicaps (yielding), most recently at Fairyhouse in November 2024; below best this season, however, and needs to be revitalised by this switch to the banks; ground should suit. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 10lb |
Both chase wins hae been in quite valuable 2m1f handicaps (yielding), most recently at Fairyhouse in November 2024; below best this season, beaten nearly 20l over same trip at Leopardstown over Christmas on latest; cheekpieces now added to usual tongue-tie. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
12st 0lb |
One of two for trainer; Leopardstown St Stephen's Day handicap chase winner in 2023 (2m1f, soft); returned to form when winning a Fairyhouse handicap in November and beaten a short head at Leopardstown in race she won year prior; out of form in three runs since and still 6lb above last winning mark; likely best watched for now. |

10st 13lb

First reserve; veteran is a four-time winner; consistent efforts over hurdles at Limerick and Tramore; 3m1f at Cork last time likely stretched him and this trip may do so again. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
10st 13lb |
Veteran is a four-time winner; last win came here over 2m (yld-sft) in November;has mixed hurdling and chasing to no avail since and never won beyond 2m4f; others preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Veteran won in fine style over hurdles at Cork (2m, yld-sft) in November; however, he has a strike rate of 1-30 in chases and his last three runs in this sphere have not been encouraging. |

Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |

Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

11st 10lb |
Scored over hurdles and fences for Eric McNamara in Ireland last summer; well beaten on both runs for his current yard recently, though he faced a very stiff task in the Plate at Cheltenham last time; back hurdling now with something to prove. |

Four chase wins at up to about 2m4f on a range of surfaces but out of sorts since the latest of them, at Killarney in August, including for new yard on Friday; often wears cheekpieces, first-time blinkers now. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises. |

Fair novice last season; needs to step considerably on this term's form; held by Razzle Dazzle Love on the basis of a 2m4f clash at this venue; jumping let her down last time when going left-handed in a Leopardstown event in which Halsafari was third. |
