11st 12lb |
Both chase wins have come at Navan, notably 2m5f Listed handicap in December off 144 (soft-to-heavy); Cheltenham run put a line through as badly hampered early on, but recent Grade 2 Fairyhouse effort was a lacklustre one; cheekpieces now reached for and joint top-weight has a bit to prove. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Won his bumper here; both chase wins have come at Navan; won a 20.5f Listed handicap chase on testing ground there off 144 in December; disappointed when third-favourite for the Plate Handicap at Cheltenham; better than that and has a good chance at the weights; can't be discounted. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
His campaigns can be short and not always sweet but he's had some excuses since making a sparkling chase debut at Navan (2m1f, yielding) in late 2024, including when returning with some mucus in a nostril in the Galway Plate last July; right back on his game when confidently ridden to win at Navan (about 2m4f, soft to heavy) in December, despite suffering some interference, and his best days could still lie ahead. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; moderate in two runs over fences for new stable since returning from over a year off; others more likely. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 4lb |
High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; 0-5 so far chasing this term but much more encouraging run on latest when second to the classy Oscars Brother in Grade 2 Ten Up Novices' at Navan last month; jumping still requires attention but is 13lb lower than hurdles here in first handicap chase. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |

High-class staying hurdler, rated 155; now has serious questions to answer after his first four chase starts; remote seventh in Leopardstown event won by Koktail Divin (previously beaten by Oscars Brother at Punchestown); needs to jump a lot better than in 2m4f Gowran event; longer trip should be a help at least. |

12st 0lb |
Needs to improve on his third-place finishes (modest/remote) this term but would be interesting if the ground is good; won off current mark at Market Rasen (2m3f) the last time he raced on such going. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Won a four-runner chase at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) in March; two lesser runs have come on either side of wind surgery and there are some doubts about him on soft ground. |

Pulled up at Perth in April when last seen out, but he ran creditably on his three completed starts last term, winning four-runner chase at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) in March; has since had wind surgery; return to shorter not sure to suit. |

11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |

Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |
