Triple hurdle winner is rated 120 in that discipline and has won over 3m; however, was tailed-off on chasing debut at Naas recently so will have to improve hugely on that. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 120 over hurdles; three-time winner over timber with his latest win coming at Navan in February last year (2m6f, soft to heavy); nothing from three subsequent runs, beaten 7.5l at this venue last month (2m7f, heavy); 12yo makes his chasing debut now and others preferred. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |

Three hurdle wins have all been on soft/heavy, most recently runaway win over 2m6f at Navan a year ago off 114; seen just twice since off much higher mark, pulled up after never counting on seasonal return at same venue in November; entitled to come on for that and has his ground. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |
33/1 |

2nd 19 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |
50/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |

Smart hurdler at his best; often highly tried, including at Cheltenham and Punchestown last season after he had finished third behind Rocky's Diamond in this race; anchored by a big burden in a handicap at Leopardstown at Christmas. |

Useful staying handicap hurdler three seasons ago; struggled at this venue on comeback a fortnight ago; Sea Aster is probably the yard's number one hope here. |

Absent since a faller four out when leading on chase debut at Downpatrick over two years ago; has run well fresh but seems certain to be all the better for this comeback run; trainer also runs Masterboy Davis so the market can guide as to expectations. |

23rd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 150y |
11st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 1-10 over both hurdles and fences; gave it a good go from the front in a 2m6f handicap chase at Punchestown last time (heavy) and the recent rain has done her prospects no harm; considered. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Reserve; returned to form when second in mares' handicap over 2m6f at Punchestown last month and she stays 3m; however, this 8yo is just 1-10 over fences and there's a suspicion this task will prove too competitive. |
33/1 |

3rd Feb 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 9y |

Is 1-9 over fences; ran alright on her seasonal return at Listowel but two of her last three runs have been poor and she didn't go with much enthusiasm when pulled up on latest at Fairyhouse; others appeal more. |

16th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
2m6f maiden winner and twice runner-up since in 3m handicaps, all in the mud; those were her best results for Paul Nolan in Ireland, whom she left for £28,000 in May; had wind surgery since and the cheekpieces worn on last three starts are replaced by a hood; probably needs a career best. |
12/1 |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Maiden winner last year has mostly acquitted herself creditably in handicaps since; not beaten far on last two starts and shouldn't be too far away again. |
