1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |

Dual hurdle winner has been below form in that sphere on recent starts; needs to get back to his best on belated chasing debut. |

Two hurdle wins include 2m5f rated hurdle at Fairyhouse last season (good); safely held in handicaps of late (well-backed favourite at Killarney last time when hampered) but don't rule out. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Led close home to win tactical hunter chase at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; found things happening too quickly and jumped badly right throughout when remote last of three at Warwick (2m, good) 18 days ago but moves back up in trip here and the switch to a right-handed track ought to suit. |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
First wins for three years when striking last month in a Paxford restricted (2m4f) and Fakenham maiden hunter chase (3m, led last stride), both on good; prospects would improve if curbing the habit of jumping right evident on both of those occasions. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed some fair form under rules when based in Ireland and comfortably won minor point at Paxford (2m4f, good) for new stable a week ago; not sure to be suited by this move back up in trip but still commands respect; sports refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces. |

Raised her game markedly last season over hurdles, winning three times to earn a mark of 118; trip/ground ideal for this first crack at chasing. |

Much improved handicapper of late, notching up a hat-trick of wins at Cork, Kilbeggan and Listowel; well held when below her best in Grade 3 novice latest and again faces stiff task here but place claims. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

Took a step forward over hurdles when third at Clonmel in March (2m3f, soft); well below that over fences at Tramore next time; headway into midfield when falling two out in Kilbeggan hurdle latest. |

One of three for yard; took a step forward in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Clonmel (soft) on latest, outpaced and rallying for a 7l third; drop back to this trip for her chase debut is not an obvious move on that evidence. |

Improving gelding has won two of his last three starts; scored off 89 at Kilbeggan over 24.5f and added another handicap hurdle off 95 at Wexford last week over 3m, both on good to yielding; up another 6lb and could be more to come but drop back in trip a concern. |

10st 7lb |
Hurdle winner on heavy but best form on good ground, when a wide-margin winner of a mares' novice handicap chase on the New course (about 2m4f) last April; well held back here in November and at Leopardstown on Boxing Day which leaves her with something to find. |

Consistent hurdler was a chase debut winner for Gordon Elliott at Tramore last summer (2m, yielding) but well held in novices and handicaps afterwards; debuts for new yard here. |
