22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Unexposed 7yo who created a very good impression when winning easily on chasing debut for Willie Mullins at Navan (2m4f, heavy) in December 2023; struggled to get competitive in valuable Windsor conditions chase (2m6f) when reappearing for new stable last month and is tricky to weigh up at present but will find this race easier and may be aided by the new tongue-tie. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won his first three starts (including a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins); then absent until Windsor last month, when pulled up on his stable debut in a hot conditions chase; this very lightly raced 7yo may have needed the run and now wears a tongue-tie, but others have far less to prove. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Hurdle winner on yielding; lightly raced 7yo who was made favourite but was pulled up in the 2m5f Coral Cup in 2022; off the track for 22 months after but has made a convincing switch to fences this winter and strode clear in good style at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) 26 days ago; this race is a big step up but he is a more likely improver than many. |

11st 12lb |
Lost his way for Gordon Elliott and sold on for 22,000euros; the form of his first three races for this yard stacks up well (from 2m4f to 3m) and reportedly bled when below par last time; definite chance should the wheels stay on. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
10st 12lb |
Wide-margin winner of a staying handicap chase at Punchestown 14 months ago, but no real trace of that form since; switches from Willie Mullins to Gordon Elliott to try to improve his fortunes, but others preferred. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Bumper and hurdle winner won a valuable chase at Punchestown last year over just short of 4m; not as good off higher marks since and unseated there last time; looks the yard's second-string on jockey bookings. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Came good over fences in this race last year with 15l win (raised 14lb) on yielding; four runs this term in admittedly hot handicaps have been disappointing, including remote fourth in Leinster National, most recently pulled up after racing prominently for long way in Irish National; handicapper relenting but still 7lb above last year's mark. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler rated (154) some way superior to these, career highlight when winning 3m Grade 1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree just over a year ago; only fifth when attempting repeat win there last month but looks a class apart from these rivals if anyway fluent in his jumping (wasn't that on sole previous chase start back in December 2023); interesting jockey booking. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Well beaten at Punchestown last May and at Navan in February on sole start since; however, this race has brought out the best in him in the last two seasons, as he finished third in 2024 (good to soft) and first last year (good); could bounce back and play another leading role. |

Placed at a modest level on the Flat; has struggled over jumps; has changed stable and his new trainer tries cheekpieces; hard to make a case for him. |
