29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
2024 Brown Advisory winner, 2025 Ryanair winner; won the 2024 John Durkan at this venue, had a hard race when narrowly beaten by Gaelic Warrior in this season's repeat bid; failed to do himself justice in the King George; back to best when readily beating Gaelic Warrior and Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup; fascinating rematch now after bypassing Ryanair. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Four Grade 1 wins, including the 2024 Brown Advisory, and last season's Ryanair; narrowly denied by Gaelic Warrior in the John Durkan Memorial Chase; raced keenly and never looked like imposing his presence in the King George; three-time course winner, just lost second to Grangeclare West here 12 months ago; capable of matching that effort if on back on song. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 12lb |
Ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last season including at this meeting; got off the mark in a Clonmel maiden last autumn and then took a Naas beginners' chase, easily beating Jacob's Ladder; just denied in the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Christmas and put up a respectable effort in the Champion Chase last time; can be involved. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Very short on chasing experience, having raced just twice in this sphere, but by the same token looks open to any amount of further improvement despite being a 9yo (latecomer to this scene); close second, clear of remainder, in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) when attempting to follow up his comfortable success in a Naas race that's worked out well; has shown good progress for current yard and looks interesting pitched into open company instead of bashing heads with similarly unexposed rivals in the Arkle. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 205y |
11st 12lb |
Placed in nine of his 11 races, including all three bumpers and his first three maiden hurdle starts; slotted into handicaps effectively last season; twice in the money at Leopardstown before set a tough task in the County Hurdle, stands out in this company on his Punchestown festival third behind the British-trained pair Ascending Lark and Wilful. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Bumper and two-time hurdle winner; 0-15 chasing but has run well in defeat at times, most notably over 3m6f at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025 and when a neck second to Better Times Ahead in the Porterstown at Fairyhouse in November (yielding); out of sorts in four runs since however so big upturn in performance required but 13lb better off with Better Times Ahead now, plus rider's claim. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 11lb |
Bumper and two-time hurdle winner; 0-14 in chases but has run well in defeat at times, most notably over 3m6f at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025 and when a neck second in the Porterstown here last November (3m6f, yielding); out of sorts in three runs since, though, and needs to rediscover best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
0-13 now as a chaser but third in this race last year off 5lb lower; that was his best form last term and he's shown it only once since, when beaten a neck at Fairyhouse (3m6f, yielding to soft) in November; that was also his only long-distance assignment this term, so he could return to form with this step back up in trip; others are preferred for the win even so. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Maiden winner over 2m6f almost two years ago; has run only twice since then; poor effort over hurdles at Cheltenham in November after a satisfactory chase run at Downpatrick. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Dual point winner who came good under rules with Downpatrick hurdle (2m6f, good) win in May 2024; returned from long absence with very encouraging third on chasing debut there (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August; remains unexposed over fences and over staying trips; interesting. |

30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 120y |
11st 1lb |
Useful staying novice chaser last season, notably looking home and hosed until worn down late by Jumping Jet in this race off 128 (good); out of form over fences so far this season, never competitive at Punchestown last time; return to better ground should suit. |
7/1 |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 3f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Useful staying novice chaser last season; went close against Bushmans Pass in valuable Navan handicap and also second in Ulster National; jumping let him down on his first two starts of the winter before switching to hurdles for his last two hurdle starts; could go well for in-form trainer and talented 5lb claimer. |

Some promise on second start in Cork mares' bumper last May but well below that form on return at Leopardstown over Christmas, tailed off after making much of running; may come on for that run but plenty to find. |

Longstanding maiden has plenty of placed efforts to his name over fences and hurdles, including a C&D third in March from 2lb higher; below best in two starts since; place shout but hard to fancy for win purposes. |

Consistent form last autumn, finishing placed five times in a row, two over hurdles; runner-up in his first three handicap chase starts, including over C&D; lost form for a while before a reassuring effort over hurdles at Downpatrick; a leading contender. |

Lightly raced 8yo returned from over a year's absence when tailed off at Naas in November and after further breaks well beaten twice more over hurdles; 1lb wrong here on chase debut and hard to see him making an impact. |

Fancy prices all four starts so far and a similar story likely here; looks like he needs a minor miracle, if not bigger on this occasion, and will find easier opportunities than this down the road. |
