11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Very smart 3m-winning chaser for Gordon Elliott in 2024/25; also scored over fences for current yard at Perth (3m) in April but beat just one when tried in cheekpieces in 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 18 days ago; reverts to hurdles off a 7lb lower mark but still has something to prove. |

12st 0lb |
Classy customer in these colours for Gordon Elliott; only his fourth run for current yard when forcing a dead-heat at Perth (3m, good; 3lb lower) and he's versatile trip-wise; likely contender in new cheekpieces. |

11st 10lb |
2024 Brown Advisory winner, 2025 Ryanair winner; won the 2024 John Durkan at this venue, had a hard race when narrowly beaten by Gaelic Warrior in this season's repeat bid; failed to do himself justice in the King George; back to best when readily beating Gaelic Warrior and Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup; fascinating rematch now after bypassing Ryanair. |

Four Grade 1 wins, including the 2024 Brown Advisory, and last season's Ryanair; narrowly denied by Gaelic Warrior in the John Durkan Memorial Chase; raced keenly and never looked like imposing his presence in the King George; three-time course winner, just lost second to Grangeclare West here 12 months ago; capable of matching that effort if on back on song. |

12st 0lb |
Won a competitive handicap chase at the 2024 festival for Henry de Bromhead (2m4f, good to yielding); hunter chase victory over Hunters Yarn at Gowran Park showed that he retains considerable ability; confirmed that impression when beating all bar star hunter Barton Snow at Aintree; goes well for Sophie Carter. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won a competitive handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in May 2024 for Henry de Bromhead (2m4f, good to yielding) and winning a hunter chase at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) last month showed that he retains considerable ability at the age of 11; firmly in calculations. |

Point winner in 2019 and showed a lot of ability during his time with Henry de Bromhead, the highlight when winning a valuable 2m4f handicap chase at the 2024 Punchestown festival; ran only twice last year; found a new lease of life when winning at Oldtown two weeks ago on debut for Mags Mullins; the capable Sophie Carter keeps the ride. |

Hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, having failed to complete on three of those; still not a fluent jumper although penultimate Fairyhouse effort was a solid one; hard to be confident in. |

11st 5lb |
Useful in 2m-2m6f novice hurdles last term, recording RPRs of 140 on three occasions; has not taken to chasing at all well this season, soundly beaten three times, and was sold from Gordon Elliott for 50,000euros in February; may be revived by a change of scenery and the return to hurdling, but he's something of a risky proposition in his first handicap. |
