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. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
11yo who appeared to be outstayed when fourth, beaten about 8l, in the Grade 1 Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown (extended 2m7f, yielding) in May; however, that was still a good performance in today's context and he's fit from the Flat; possible player for top Irish stable. |

8st 5lb |
Aged 11 but he's a seriously unexposed, dark horse on Flat; smart hurdles form in Grade 1s in August 2024-May 2025; three Irish maiden races are all he's contested on Flat, when runner-up twice last year (2m/1m6f) and winning by a short head this August (2m) but he's not been hit hard with this opening Flat mark and having Willie Mullins as his trainer demands respect. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
With James Owen for 18 months (Scottish National fourth in April) before joining this yard; Borders National win at Kelso (4m, soft) in December was his best form for nearly two years and he kept jumping to his right, so reverting to a right-handed track today may well help; back up 5lb but shortlisted. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Only 1-10 (hurdles win) during his spell with James Owen but ran respectably in the Scottish National on last appearance; sold for £24,000 since; headgear removed; heed the market signals. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |

Won over hurdles in December in a first-time visor, which he also wore next time and returns today; well held with first-time blinkers in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham one month ago, taking sixth in that 3m2f race for the second year running; new trip but he's not persuasive. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Veteran gained his second win over fences, and fifth in all, in 2m4f handicap at Down Royal's Christmas meeting and most recently finished a good third in 3m4f Ulster National at Downpatrick; previous two runs over this course have been poor (pulled up in this last year). |

Dual hurdles winner added his second chasing win at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day when taking advantage of lower mark (2m4f, good to yielding); ran well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle prior to his win, but his most recent run here over hurdles was underwhelming when he went clear with one other and both weakened. |

4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Former Nigel Hawke-trained gelding made a bright start for the stable when second over hurdles at Fairyhouse in April; switch to chasing (second roll of the dice) at Wexford worked out reasonably well when third behind Watch House Cross (facile winner on next start) and if he brushes his jumping up another notch here, he could be one to have on your side; should take high rank. |

19th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Four-time winner in UK is rated 140 over hurdles after a fine run in defeat on debut for this yard; however, didn't jump well on second chase start last time and needs a fair bit more. |
