6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Yet to make an impact in three starts for this yard this year, but he showed some smart form in Ireland for Willie Mullins, notably landing a 2m4f Grade 3 at around this time last season; looks attractively treated on that evidence; one to watch in the market, though a return to form is needed. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Won Grade 3 at Killarney (2m4f, yielding) last May for Willie Mullins and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, below par in the winter on final two starts for that yard and soundly beaten in handicaps on both outings for this stable; usual hood is left off; needs to get back on track. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
12st 2lb |
Useful on his day for Willie Mullins but form has dipped this winter, most recently last of four finishers at Doncaster where he was the rank outsider on debut for new yard; best watched unless the market signals go the other way. |

11st 8lb |
Very smart chaser when at his best but he was well beaten in this 12 months ago and last season's placed efforts were remote ones behind class acts; current wellbeing is a bit of an issue. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Decent sort has two wins apiece over hurdles and fences, including a Grade 2 at Navan last season, his best performance; however, he is rated a long way below all of these rivals and is an unlikely winner. |

Competitively campaigned in the past year, often in small-field conditions race; third in the Kerry National and filled the same position in a Grade 2 at Down Royal; out of his depth in a 2m Grade 3 event at Naas before an excellent display in finishing second in the Troytown Chase. |

Only one win from 21 starts over fences, placed seven times; a long way below his best at Cork last time and well held by third-placed Sky Lord. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |

Useful although hard to win with and soundly beaten lately, but the handicappper is relenting; one of three runners for in-form yard |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Useful chaser at his best, but hard to win with; record of 1-19 in chases is off-putting, placed seven times; tailed off in a strong handicap at Fairyhouse in January (2m1f, yielding); out of his depth along with Drumgill in a Grade 3 contest at Naas 13 days ago. |

Won well over 3m on testing ground last winter; questions after being pulled-up on last two starts wearing blinkers; cheekpieces replace them today. |

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when winning by 9l at Fairyhouse in November (3m); his Bangor third was okay but he ran no race in the new blinkers at Downpatrick three months ago. |
