24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 56y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Stayers' Hurdle winner; has not reached quite the same level in five starts over fences but he still won the Kerry National at Listowel (3m, soft) when last seen in September 2024, making all and barely coming off the bridle; hard to weigh up after a long absence but conditions should suit and he'd be no forlorn hope if ready to roll. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Dual Stayers' Hurdle winner and fine second in latest renewal in March; had three runs over fences last season, all over 3m; won at Cheltenham, jumped poorly when not enjoying going right-handed at Punchestown, and then fair third in Leopardstown Grade 1; found 2m1f much too sharp at Killarney in July on handicap debut; trip will suit. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Started this season brightly, notably when second to Kandoo Kid in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); he'd have a good shout judged on that display and going beyond 3m2f made plenty of appeal even before that; however, he disappointed at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and ran badly there last month; cheekpieces (tried at this meeting last year, tailed off) return. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Didn't jump fluently when below par here on New Year's Day; however, he's reportedly had his knees medicated since and two starts ago was a fine second in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); two wins here (3m/3m2f) during last season's novice campaign; in the mix if back on song. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Disappointing at Leopardstown in December last time but in good form previously for new yard, finishing second in the Munster National in October (3m, yielding to soft); 13l fourth in this race last year when he'd have been closer but for a bad late mistake; each-way shout if back on song. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Won a 3m Doncaster novice handicap chase in fine style for Nigel Twiston-Davies in January; second-best of the home team when fourth behind Daily Present in the Kim Muir; can be expected to improve from stable debut at Listowel; prospects of reversing form with Talk In The Park. |

11st 12lb |
Won a 3m Doncaster novice handicap chase in fine style for Nigel Twiston-Davies in January; not a bad effort when last seen at Aintree in April; bought for 40,000GBP at Goffs in May; worth a market check on first start for new yard. |

10st 11lb |
Last of two chase wins came in 2m6f Galway Blazers in 2023 off this mark; interrupted campaign in recent years, pulled up on three of last four starts including in Mayo National last time; hard to make a case for on recent evidence. |

Course winner over hurdles; two-time chase winner in 2023, including the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) off 130; ran a decent race in this last year, beaten 11.25l into fourth off 138; 5lb lower now but lacks a run and was out of form when last seen. |
