0-3 over fences but has run well in defeat the last twice and this Grade 2 novice hurdle winner is open to further improvement in this discipline, for a top Irish trainer who won this 12 months ago; respected. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins over hurdles, including a Grade 2 novice over 2m7f at Limerick, rated 140; satisfactory third on chase debut at this venue, 10l behind stablemate High Class Hero; unlikely to reverse that form in view of his failure to make the frame at Navan. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Second to Lecky Watson in the 3m Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham last March; while comfortably dismissed in the closing stages of his three starts this winter, the first two of those were Grade 1 events and giving 8lb to Grangeclare West and Gerri Colombe at Fairyhouse (blinkers replaced cheekpieces) on latest outing makes that result look a whole lot better; above all, perhaps, while unraced beyond 3m2f, he has strongly suggested on plenty of occasions that he has serious stamina reserves; each-way appeal. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Won Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown (3m, soft) last season and 4l second to Lecky Watson in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; made little impression in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on return and down the field in the Savills; a winner of the 2024 Albert Bartlett on heavy, he should relish the ground but race conditions don't favour him; tongue tie and blinkers go on for the first time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Faded into sixth at Punchestown (3m7f) last May on his only attempt at a marathon trip; worth another go, having rallied so well to win a major 3m handicap at Navan in November, but it's a little hard to ignore that clearly his best five ratings have been registered on soft or heavy going, as have all his four wins. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |

Off the mark over fences at the third attempt off 130 at Naas last January (2m4f, soft); failed to make an impact at Cheltenham and faded from two out at Punchestown in a 3m7f handicap; produced in fine shape to win the Troytown on reappearance (3m, heavy); showed up well for a long way before fading from two out in the Theyestes last time (3m1f, heavy); can get involved |

Got off the mark over fences at the third attempt off 130 at Naas last January (2m4f, soft); failed to make an impact in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham; faded from two out in Punchestown festival handicap over a near-4m trip; produced in fine shape to win the Troytown on reappearance, beating Yeah Man and earning a 9lb hike in the ratings; can remain competitive. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't jump well when seventh in this last year and pulled up in the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January on latest run; however, he was in good form previously, finishing second of nine at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) then second of 28 in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (3m, yielding); each-way player if back on song and finding some fluency. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Failed to add to Galway beginners' chase win last season; jumping was untidy in the Ultima at Cheltenham; failed to stay in the Irish Grand National; ran well for a long way in Troytown on return before fading; fine second over inadequate trip at Navan (Harry Des Ongrais third); big chance now based on second in the Paddy Power; Jack Kennedy takes over from a claimer. |

20th Oct 2024 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Has done very well this season for new yard over fences, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and going close there (2m4f, good) last time; he's going into the unknown stamina-wise but was a close second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good to soft) in July and this progressive 7yo is not ruled out. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

Sent straight chasing by Donald McCain and has finished first or second in all four starts from 2m4f to 3m2f; jumped well out in front to win over C&D 17 days ago off just 2lb lower; might be vulnerable to something better handicapped but has a solid chance. |

Made it 2-2 at Perth when making all to beat a few of these here 23 days ago, fending off Parisencore by just under a length; had nothing in hand but he's only 2lb higher. |

Only her third run over fences when winning a 3m Limerick handicap in March (yielding to soft) but stopped quickly next time and has since left Henry De Bromhead for 21,000gns. |

Off the mark at the third attempt over fences on latest at Limerick (24.5f, yielding to soft); hit with a 6lb rise for that and will encounter quicker ground here but she ran well on good to yielding in a beginners here back in December (20.5f); could be more to come. |
