Three-time winner at 1m2f on soft or heavy, latest over two years ago; fair form this season and proved he can stay when second at 33-1 over 2m1f at Limerick last month. |

Three-time winner at 1m2f on soft or heavy, latest over two years ago; fair form this season but good bit to find with a couple of these on recent Leopardstown run and remains unproven over this extended trip. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won last year's 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch and never better than when second in the C&D Trial three weeks ago, setting sail for home 4f out but unable to shake off Grand Providence; rarely seen on softer than good (had some soft-ground form in 2021); otherwise looks set to go well. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won last year's 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch; ran creditably twice at the Curragh this summer before strong-finishing second to Extensio at Clonmel; held up for those runs but last year's success came when ridden much more prominently; may need a new personal best but she has proved her stamina and makes plenty of appeal. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Close fourth over 2m1f at Galway (soft) in July 2020 and won over 1m6f at Killarney that August, both in blinkers; not seen again until his last of five when 20-1 in a 1m4f conditions event 16 days ago, which needs to have blown away a lot of cobwebs but the blinkers (absent that day) return. |

On a very long losing spell and is 0-11 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable; has a fighting chance on bits of 2024 form but is difficult to support with confidence. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 7lb |
Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |
40/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |

Fine dual-purpose performer is a credit to himself and his stable; won this two years ago but disappointing last year; however, was in good form over the summer and has a chance again. |

6th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Flat winner in Britain; opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt, landing a C&D maiden in November; down the field in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse last month; more relevant form in this context is his fourth placing in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; also managed a fine third on the Flat in the Naas November Handicap; makes plenty of appeal in this grade. |

Flat winner when trained by the Johnstons in UK; has run well in defeat over hurdles for this yard, notably in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; fine 3rd in the Naas November Handicap since; should go close back to hurdles. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Eight wins over hurdles and going for three in a row in this race, landing previous two renewals under this jockey; beat Reverend Hubert by a head last year; after eight months off, comeback third in Killarney chase was a good effort; quiet since but can't rule him out. |
8/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
8st 7lb |
Veteran has notched up nine wins over jumps but is 1-9 on the Flat and hasn't won in this sphere since 2024; however, he was a close third in this last season off 1lb higher on good ground so he's not dismissed; 1lb wrong. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 12lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles (rated 144); did okay over fences last year and was fair third over 3m2f on his return to action at Killarney; stays 3m well, so this trip looks too short, plus he was disappointing when favourite for last year's Mayo National. |

Won claiming hurdles at Limerick and Sligo before being given a lot to do on the Flat (another claimer) last month; running well but this could be a better race than the ones he's been winning. |

Yet to score on the Flat, best effort when runner-up in last season's November Handicap; two wins over hurdles this year and most recently finished a decent sixth in a very valuable Punchestown festival handicap hurdle; champion jockey booked and likely to have a leading chance; handles all ground. |

Didn't need to improve to win a novice hurdle at Perth last week but this looks like a tough ask and down the order on jockey bookings. |

Dual-purpose; 3-27 over hurdles but without a win in this sphere since October 2022; beaten 7.5l over C&D off this mark in June; four modest efforts on the Flat since; others preferred. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Willie Mullins runs three here with STOKE THE FIRE the likely number one after two good runs in defeat, form which has been franked since, and who looks to be crying out for this extended trip. Place claims are held by Sheishybrid and Walking On Glass. [Alan Hewison]
