12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 6lb |
Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |

Dual bumper and hurdles winner for Peter Fahey but not as good a chaser last season; changed yards and reverts to hurdles off reduced mark and goes well fresh. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Useful 3m hurdler for Willie Mullins before fruitless spell over fences in Britain; seems to have been revitalised by point-to-points, winning three in the spring; in contention when slipping up in banks race at Punchestown; chased home Solitary Man at Killarney and 3lb better off here. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins; in good form in points prior to slipping up late on at Punchestown when he was keeping on; still up against it with some of these. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Decent novice hurdler for Willie Mullins (suited by a sound surface) but still a maiden chaser; however, comes here on the back of three point-to-point wins for Michael Mangan, having earlier chased home Fountain House over the banks at Lingstown; not one to rule out on return to the track. |

16th Oct 2024 Good 2m 2f 75y |

Won two bumpers, one of them at this venue; useful 129-rated hurdler; won on chase debut at Galway over an extended 2m6f trip; made a bad mistake three out when remote fourth at Killarney; similar error two out ended her chance of beating the favourite in a mares' event at Listowel. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second for Micheal Keady here (2m4f, good) just under a year ago but both subsequent runs for Sara Bradstock were disappointing and he was well beaten in Cheltenham Festival cross-country chase on stable debut in March; now sports cheekpieces; needs to get career back on track. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Very useful handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2024 and placed for Michael Keady last spring (2m4f, good) but absent since pulled up for Sara Bradstock in September (bled from the nose); now with another new stable for cross-country debut; 4lb wrong; best to look elsewhere. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Temptingly treated on the best of his form for Willie Mullins; had two runs for Michael Keady, outclassed in the Grand National but then runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); ran well for a long way in Market Rasen's Summer Plate (2m5f) on debut for current yard and this trip is a better fit; respected. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 8lb |
Three-time hurdles winner made winning chase debut in 2m5f Fairyhouse beginners' in October (yielding) but hasn't really progressed, albeit solid first handicap effort when third over 3m1f at same venue last month; 3m tends to stretch him so stamina concerns. |

3rd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 12lb |
One of his three hurdles wins came here, as did his only success over fences in a beginners' in October (2m5f, yielding); well beaten in a 2m5f novice here and a Grade 3 at Thurles and stamina to prove in first handicap chase. |
16/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Useful 135-rated hurdler; pulled up in a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree on final start last season; produced in good shape to beat subsequent Galway handicap winner Millforce at Fairyhouse in October on chasing debut; picked up an injury at the same venue on his second attempt. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in 2023 and is 1-10 over fences; hasn't had much racing in the last two years but ran two fine races in valuable Cheltenham handicaps last winter; not as good after wind surgery in the Ultima handicap last time; player if at best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't jump well when 16l fifth to Myretown in this race last March (good to soft); solid course record otherwise and he twice made the frame here (3m1f/3m2f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year; has had a wind operation since and he's an each-way candidate if jumping better than 12 months ago. |
20/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Perhaps unfortunate not to win this 12 months ago and returned in March with a highly commendable fifth in the Ultima given that his jumping was a major hindrance (had fallen the time before); simply never gave his running at Punchestown on final start; if he can find any fluency over his fences he'd be a danger to all; stable has won the last two editions of this. |

11st 5lb |
Career peak was in October 2023 on first start for Gavin Cromwell and he was well beaten when runner-up over fences last April and June; unraced beyond 2m4f under rules and now wears a hood for the first time; back with John McConnell, with whom he started his career. |
