12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Displayed superstar potential when easily winning the 2m5f Grade 1 novice hurdle here in 2024; mixed campaign over fences last term and he's reverted to hurdles this season, going very close behind Teahupoo in Grade 1 Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft) before 14l third to that rival in Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle (2m7f, good to yielding); the first-time hood could help this headstrong 8yo settle but he may again be vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Only narrowly denied in a point and finished a place ahead of Irish Panther when runner-up on Rules debut here in February; should improve for this longer trip and his jockey is good value for the 5lb he can claim. |

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. |

Course bumper winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; rated 7lb lower over fences after three chase runs; 7.5l behind Littlefoot at Downpatrick on latest and 10lb better off now so should get closer; place chance. |

Fair hurdler won Listowel maiden in September and not beaten far off 113 in Tipperary handicap in April; both of those runs were on yielding to soft so this ground might be quicker than ideal for chase debut. |

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

Ran away with Navan (2m, soft) maiden on second start for this yard last season and solid enough effort in Listed handicap at Fairyhouse afterwards; back from 10 months' absence when pulled up in 2m Naas handicap in February, having raced prominently to three out; better for that run but fair bit to find on ratings here. |
