10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His form/jumping have been in and out since his Grade 2 novice chase win at Naas last January, soundly beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; however, two starts ago he followed Heart Wood home in a 2m7f Grade 3 at Tramore; could have a big say for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
11st 12lb |
Hurdle winner and won twice over fences last season, including a Grade 2 at Naas; however, his form then fell away and twice failed to complete; signs of a resurgence when second to Heart Wood at Tramore last time and can go well if building on that. |

Rated 108; bumper winner was placed in his first three maiden hurdles in soft conditions; pulled up at Gowran on return from a 427-day absence (3m, soft to heavy); made little impression in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, heavy); others preferred |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival. |

Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott; 0-8 chasing; well beaten when unseating at the last in the Troytown at Navan (3m, heavy); better effort when 14l behind in the Paddy Power (3m, yielding) at Leopardstown; others preferred. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Hurdles winner was soundly beaten in opening three chase runs; well backed when winning a Down Royal rated novice chase last time (2m5f, good to yielding); likely capable of more. |
14/1 |
|
1st 5 |
17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |
11st 8lb |
1-10 over hurdles and rated 131; soundly beaten in three chase starts, including off 126 in a novices' handicap at Naas on latest; needs to improve plenty on that to figure here. |
7/1 |
|
7th 2 |
25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |
11st 8lb |
Winning hurdler (here) whose standout effort in that sphere was a fine third behind Wodhooh in the 2025 Martin Pipe; no show in midfield in both beginners chases in November but can't be ruled out making an immediate impact in handicaps off 5lb lower chase mark. |

Ex-Irish 14-race maiden under rules who has suffered four heavy defeats over fences for this yard, twice in a tongue-tie and once in cheekpieces; no aids today, which might be a straw to cling to, but he has a lot to prove. |

Point-to-point winner is 0-15 under rules', but he has been running well in defeat recently; beaten just a nose at Limerick last month (2m7f, heavy); followed that with a runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m7f, soft); cheekpieces are added to the tongue tie now, but better ground is a bit concerning. |
