2nd May 2024 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Seven career wins, the most recent when beating Asterion Forlonge in a Thurles conditions event last year; runner-up in the same contest last month after chasing home Monkfish at Gowran; consistent and deserves a change of luck but it is unlikely to come here. |

2018 Supreme winner and has a smart level of recent form too; chased home Monkfish in a Grade 2 hurdle at Gowran last time and a repeat of that effort could be enough. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Third when odds-on for this race 12 months ago; he'll run better this time if he can repeat his close fourth behind some class acts at Punchestown (3m, yielding). |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
7-14 in points and a five-time winner on the track; has often run well in races at this level, notably when second to Its On The line in this race in 2024 and third in the 2025 Aintree Foxhunter; no match for Panda Boy at Thurles in January; readily outpointed by Wonderwall at Dromahane 19 days ago |

Thoroughly reliable performer on points, seven wins and five seconds from 13 starts; also a five-time winner under rules with smart form in this category; best of the Irish when third in last season's Aintree Foxhunters; beaten odds-on chance when third to Bartlemy Boy at Killarney in May; won readily at Turtulla nine weeks ago; rider doing well in points. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 0lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott a few years ago; modest enough form in points and hunter chases since joining this yard in late 2024. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 5lb |
Useful sort for Gordon Elliott early in his career, finished a remote third behind Jonbon and El Fabiolo in a Grade 1 contest at Aintree in 2023; mostly campaigned in points for the last two years, below his best in four outings in that sphere since January. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Irish raider who returned to racing under rules with two underwhelming runs in hunter chases (3m5f/3m) this spring; drops back in trip for this handicap; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |

Maiden hurdle winner last season was keeping on over this trip at Musselburgh last time when falling heavily at the last, his second consecutive departure; could still have more to offer if his confidence isn't too damaged. |
