2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Bumper and two-time hurdle winner; 0-15 chasing but has run well in defeat at times, most notably over 3m6f at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025 and when a neck second to Better Times Ahead in the Porterstown at Fairyhouse in November (yielding); out of sorts in four runs since however so big upturn in performance required but 13lb better off with Better Times Ahead now, plus rider's claim. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 8lb |
On a long losing run since winning a Punchestown handicap in 2023; heavy defeats in two hurdle runs this year; others preferred. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 9lb |
On long losing run; pulled up on final start of last season and again on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in November; heavy defeat on his return from a 127-day break at Cork nine days ago; others appeal more. |

11st 6lb |
No win since October 2023; pulled up on final start of last season over C&D (soft) and similar outcome on seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse in November; off since and best watched for now. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up. |
9/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 126y |
11st 12lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles; encouraging run at Punchestown on return from an absence before never-nearer fifth of 16 at Limerick (3m, soft to heavy); the fourth boosted the form; in the mix. |

27th Dec 2024 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up after a break at Roscommon in September (3m, soft) and then seventh of 23 at Navan (2m6f); failed to fire back there 20 days ago but in a valuable handicap; this is nothing like so demanding and she'll be keeping on with stamina guaranteed. |

Won a 2m2f Sligo maiden hurdle last year; was running well at Punchestown on debut for this yard in race won by Due Course when hampered two out; interesting. |
