12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Impressive over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in December on second chase start; two lesser runs have followed in Grade 3s and there remains a question mark regarding stamina; however, Gordon Elliott and Rob James won this with a 7yo novice in 2020 and he's not ruled out in view of the Fairyhouse promise. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner and won once over hurdles; better chaser this term however, running away with 2m5f Fairyhouse novice last month (soft) but came up short upped in class at Punchestown earlier this month; tries a new trip here and possibly vulnerable to some proven stayers. |

11st 5lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good) and couldn't have given his true running back there two months ago; could yet prove himself worthy of this mark. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |
11st 7lb |
Promise in all three maiden hurdles starts before C&D success eight weeks ago on handicap debut; ability to handle this track is an asset; capable of a good showing. |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 57y |
11st 12lb |
Handicap debutant has shown promise in all three of his maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; ran respectably here in a 16.5f bumper a year ago; opening mark looks fair and he is worth a market check on return from 263 days off. |

11st 1lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; landed a beginners' chase at Thurles (2m5f, heavy) in January; had some of these behind when good second back over hurdles over this C&D latest (Jeriko De Baune third); quicker ground fine and in the mix again off just 1lb higher. |

Tipperary maiden hurdle winner in May 2024; stepped up from his fair hurdles form with a winning chase debut at Thurles, accounting for Insouciant Dallier with a bit to spare; faller on latest. |

11st 3lb |
Came on from his reappearance at Limerick when third over 20.5f at Fairyhouse; second next time over 2m at Clonmel on handicap bow; ran worst race of his career on better ground at Wexford last month so conditions are a worry. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount. |
10/1 |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 6lb |
Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 8lb |
Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip. |

10st 13lb |
Veteran went close in a 2m3f bumper (good) here last July in this headgear combination; well beaten minus the hood on return from 312 days off in a 2m3f maiden hurdle here (good); will strip fitter now and the hood returns but lots more needed. |
