19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish; only win was in a 7f claimer (AW) in December 2023 and she finished a tailed-off last in her final two runs (hurdle/Flat) last year; 2m may have been too far here last month but she needs a major revival back at this trip. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Remote third on the Flat (1m5f) last time after three months off; has placed form in novice hurdles but doesn't look obviously well treated for this handicap debut. |

23rd Apr 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

The most experienced of these after six starts and has won twice, on good and yielding to soft; struggled in Listed races the last twice and looks vulnerable should there be anything of that calibre lurking here. |

Has won two of her five starts and better than she showed when slowly away last time; still has to raise her game to be a factor here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |

1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached. |
8/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

3-47 with his wins coming over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack in Ireland; has made a low-key start for this yard and needs to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 120y |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2024; added another over 1m1f at Leopardstown last June; ran creditably when fifth behind today's rival Pink Oxalis at Leopardstown last September; out of her depth in a Listed race at Dundalk on final start last season. |

8th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 40y |

Both wins have been at 1m1f, including at Leopardstown in June; has returned there all three starts since, two solid runs over today's trip; drops in grade here, will appreciate drying ground. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 10lb |
Won 18.5f maiden hurdle here last August (good); fit from the Flat when beaten 11l in Kilbeggan handicap hurdle on latest; same mark here; a bit more needed. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 10lb |
Emphatically off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt at Ballinrobe in August (2m3f, good); form in behind not worth much; unable to justify favouritism in three Flat runs since then but they were creditable all the same; not discounted. |
6/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Generally dependable dual-purpose mare; stayed on well for a 4l third behind today's rivals Idomything and You Make Me Smile over extended 1m4f at Bellewstown (soft) last October; well fancied when third on seasonal debut at Navan; should be a bit sharper now and can uphold form with Mystic Rose and You Make Me Smile. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Just 1-26, winning a Navan claiming maiden in 2023; lost her form on AW last winter and poor back there last time; handles soft but not easy to fancy. |

12th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Sole win from 25 starts came at Navan in a maiden claimer in 2023 over 1m; highly tried at this venue earlier this year with her best effort being a 1.75l third over 1m4f; poor in five runs at this track following that and tailed off when attempting hurdles for the first time at Cartmel last time; tongue-tie now added to hood. |
18/1 |
Verdict
The market can file the debutants into some pecking order, but a chance is taken on TACHOS who is the first foal out of a well-related winner at this trip. Thia’s experience will come in very useful given the testing conditions and he ran a nice race behind a well-touted Ballydoyle newcomer at the Curragh. He can no doubt step up again now raised further in distance and his stable has won the last two runnings of this, last year with Group-class Comhra. [Alistair Jones]
