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. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
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. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |

One of two for trainer; maiden winner over 2m6f over two years ago; has only run three times since then and the two most recent of those have seen him pull up. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Maiden winner over 2m6f almost two years ago; has run only twice since then; poor effort over hurdles at Cheltenham in November after a satisfactory chase run at Downpatrick. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Dual point winner who came good under rules with Downpatrick hurdle (2m6f, good) win in May 2024; returned from long absence with very encouraging third on chasing debut there (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August; remains unexposed over fences and over staying trips; interesting. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did not take to chasing at end of last year (two attempts) and was tailed off when reappearing over hurdles last month; on a good mark now but needs to have taken considerable benefit from that recent outing. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and is well handicapped if judged on that performance, but didn't take to chasing at end of 2024 and this return to hurdling comes after a 163-day break. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Showed staying promise over fences earlier in career but he's been in moderate form since back from an absence, pulling up on last two starts. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Can't judge too harshly on last month's pulling up in a Uttoxeter mudbath (only two of ten finished), but two efforts before that fall well short of the required here; blinkers need to prove transformative. |
40/1 |

Ended string of dismal performances with creditable fourth of 15 over C&D (good) in April 2024 but finished lame that day and we haven't seen him again since. |

1st Nov 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Improved to win a 2m3f bumper at Downpatrick in August; jumping was not his strong suit when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at the same venue last month, but the winner did the form no harm whan a close second in a Galway novice hurdle last weekend; this looks a much more difficult assignment though. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics had transformative effect when seeing him score back-to-back wide-margin wins at Clonmel and Fairyhouse on heavy ground at start of the year; pulled up at Clonmel in February but bounced back when third at Clonmel last month (2m, soft); better ground is a concern. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
12st 3lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 here (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) off 12lb higher; handicapper possibly caught up when pulled up at Fairyhouse (2m4f) but drop in trip should help. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win here over 2m (heavy) off 12lb higher; raised another 13lb and steps up in trip and grade; clearly in fine fettle but may not get an easy lead here. |

Twice placed in maiden hurdles in 2024; weak form last year; good enough to win a recent maiden point at Castletown-Geoghegan, but the form does not amount to much. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 90y |

Closely related to winners including Top Of The Bill (useful 2m7f hurdle/3m chase) and Call Of The Wild (bumper/2m hurdle); quite smart level of form in bumpers in 2024, winning at Punchestown in June (good); good start over timber when clear second to a classy sort in 2m2f Ballinrobe maiden following month; long absent but goes well fresh and the one to beat. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 170y |

Too keen on Downpatrick debut last year but much improved in tongue-tie after year off on yard debut at Ballinrobe last month, staying on well into second behind an odds-on shot (yielding) under considerate handling; top amateur again on board and major contender. |

Awtaad gelding is closely related to 1m6f Flat/2m-2m3f hurdle winner Linger; dam unraced half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Whazzis and 7f 2yo Listed winner Whazzat (dam of James Garfield), out of half-sister to French Oaks winner Rafha; nice page and interesting to see if there's any market support. |
