5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better known as a chaser but has shown smart hurdles form in the past; would have a squeak if back in top form off a lower hurdle mark. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Two wins include this race last year off 2lb lower; standout run this term when second in Grade 3 Punchestown contest (2m7f), tame effort last time (albeit stiff task) in Grade 2 at Thurles; not one to rule out back in handicap company. |

11st 3lb |
Useful sort; best form at Punchestown, including when second to the talented Heart Wood three starts ago; 2-16 record over fences is not a great return bearing in mind his 147 rating; inferior to the four Mullins-trained runners on official figures |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won two Grade 1s in Ireland in spring 2024 during novice chase campaign (2m4f/3m1f, heavy/yielding) and posted first win since in the Grade 2 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) this January; he was receiving 6lb from close runner-up L'Homme Presse last time and others in this have achieved more, but he's only eight and could still have improvement to come. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 56y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won two Grade 1s as a novice chaser, including over 3m1f at Punchestown in April 2024; no match for Galopin Des Champs in Punchestown Gold Cup 12 months later and he's been campaigned over shorter trips and hurdles since (not disgraced back at Punchestown on New Year's Eve); not easy to pin down but he should be suited by this return to fences and 3m+. |

Left Willie Mullins in the doldrums and hasn't got a lot going for current yard; others preferred. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on old form for Willie Mullins; nothing to shout about in first four runs for this yard but there was some encouragement last time, despite beating just one home, when third at Hereford (2m, good) 12 days ago; big danger if he builds on that from a career-low mark. |

15th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 135 over fences at his peak; 8yo ran well enough on his belated Flat debut at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last month; shaped like this extra furlong would suit but he may be vulnerable to younger legs. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 9lb |
8yo achieved a peak rating of 135 over fences; makes belated Flat debut after losing his way over jumps; yard won this last year and stamina won't be an issue but others appeal more. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdle win came at Cork (2m1f) and most of racing since has been over fences, folding tamely on last month's hurdles return in Cork handicap; something to prove now; cheekpieces tried. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In career-best form when at 1m6f-2m this season for three seconds and a fourth; the last two of those races were Group 2s at Goodwood (1m6f second against her own sex; ahead of Grateful) and York (2m fourth against the males) and she should be bang there once again. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |

Career-best form to be runner-up at York (1m6f Group 3, good to soft), Sandown (2m Listed, good) and Goodwood (1m6f Group 2, good to firm) in three of her four races this term; those two Group races were against her own sex and she faces a significantly stiffer task today. |

10st 13lb |
Dual chase winner last term and good third to Daily Present in 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham; has struggled in big handicaps this season, exception a never-nearer remote third in Leinster National; never really recovered from bad early blunder when pulled up in Irish National on latest; others look more reliable. |

Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; not at the same level in four runs since, including when always behind and pulled up at Leopardstown last time; needs to show some spark. |

Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; hasn't been at that level since and was beaten a long way in the Paddy Power here last time, so has to do much better. |

1-18 over hurdles (win was two seasons ago over 2m); best run last season when second in 3m Gowran handicap in testing conditions, also ran well in 3m2f beginners chase; poor display at Wexford in May when Duke Silver was second. |
