10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won two Grade 1 novice chases in December 2024 (2m4f/3m, yielding/good to yielding); he hasn't kicked on this term and was well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown (2m5f, soft) in February, but getting back on better ground may help and he can go well if tapping back into last season's promise. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner turned into a top-class novice chaser last season, winning two Grade 1s including over 3m at this track; was also a fine runner-up in a Grade 1 over C&D at this meeting last year; hasn't been at that level in four starts since, but drops in grade with a 5lb claimer aboard, so has to be respected. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 12lb |
Placed four times over hurdles but had been out of form (largely over fences) until a close third at 66-1 over 2m here on St Stephen's Day (yielding) on handicap hurdle debut; up 3lb for that but chance if he can back it up; slight question mark on this ground. |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Good effort when second in Listowel novice in September (2m1f, yielding to soft); jumping let him down when beaten odds-on favourite at Downpatrick; lost his chance with a bad error three out at Thurles in his first handicap; apparent second string for stable. |

10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Lightly-raced 8yo ran the best race of his career by far when a 2.5l second in a better race than this at Listowel last time over an extended 2m1f (yielding to soft); this trip should suit him; leading contender. |

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 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

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. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Best of four runs in beginners' chases came at Galway last time where beaten 0.75l into second of 16; could be well treated for his handicap chase debut on that evidence but seems best going right-handed. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over nearly 3m as a chaser last year when based in Ireland; pulled up over hurdles on final run there and made a forgettable stable debut at Hexham in this new headgear combination. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A fair 2m7f-winning chaser but he was pulled up back hurdling in 3m Fairyhouse handicap in April on his final run for Thomas Cooper; cheekpieces go on for his new yard and he can't be ruled out after a break with Brian Hughes up. |

0-9 over hurdles; posted best effort to date on latest when an 8l fourth of 14 at Kilbeggan (2m2f, gd-yld); down 1lb for that but didn't shape like he was crying out for this longer trip; others have more pressing claims. |

Ran a nice race when a 6l fourth off 92 at Wexford on his penultimate start, his best effort to date in handicap hurdles; didn't back that up at the same track on latest and cheekpieces are now reached for; chance if reproducing his Wexford fourth. |

Showed ability in first maiden hurdle run at Tramore (2m, soft) when beaten 6.5L; no impact on handicap debut on return from a break at Punchestown but shaped well for a long way when fourth, beaten 6L, in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at this track four weeks ago; same mark today and big chance if building on that; tongue tie is retained. |
