All three wins came on soft over shorter trips; has looked in the handicapper's grasp over both hurdles and fences of late; cheekpieces now tried. |

11st 2lb |
Very useful handicap hurdler on his day but yet to make any further progress over fences since winning Listowel beginners' chase last season; went close at Perth last time, faces a much harder task in a handicap of this standard. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
The most experienced chaser in the field but is 0-9; beaten 11.5l off 125 in Navan handicap chase (2m4f, heavy) when last seen in December; goes well fresh but best form on good ground so wouldn't want to see much rain. |
11/2 |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |
11st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner is now 0-8 chasing but some good runs in defeat, including 2m6f Listowel handicap; no match for 15l winner The Enabler in Fairyhouse novice on latest but remains of interest back in handicap with cheekpieces now tried. |
15/2 |

Best of four runs in beginners' chases when second at the Galway festival; creditable third over 2m6f at Listowel on handicap debut; could not be guaranteed to uphold form with Weveallbeencaught who may have needed the run. |

Maiden in all spheres after 46 starts; has run well in defeat at times over fences; poor over hurdles on return but would have a squeak on his best chase runs of last season. |

Maiden in all categories after 45 races; some of his better runs earlier in his career were over hurdles, placed four times from 18 attempts; a top jockey booked for the trainer's first runner. |

No wins in a varied 44-race career, although ran well in a couple of beginners' this term; was 11lb wrong on handicap chase debut at Leopardstown last time; percentage call is to oppose. |

Maiden in all spheres after 21 starts; however, has been running well enough lately; second on chase debut at Limerick and two decent hurdle runs since; chance. |

Kept on for third in soft-ground Down Royal bumper for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but left that stable after two very disappointing runs; now back over hurdles for new yard; hooded for first time; probably best watched. |
