19th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 30y |
10st 2lb |
Decent NH mare, winning a bumper and three times over hurdles at up to 3m; recent chase form not quite at same level but useful; previous two Flat runs include decent fourth in 1m7f Leopardstown amateur maiden last summer; would probably appreciate a stiffer test. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner with some excellent efforts in competitive handicaps; second behind Perceval Legallois at DRF last season off 133; ran to a good level on chase debut over C&D a year ago; failed to repeat that until last month's Cork second, confirming winning potential |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Smart novice chaser in 2021-22 season; lightly raced since; pulled up last spring on final two runs for Gordon Elliott (Pertemps Final/Grand National); sold last May for £8,500; this 10yo is probably best watched on his stable debut, for which he wears first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. |

Smart novice chaser two seasons back; 613 days off before this term, easily best of five runs since when beaten a neck in a Pertemps qualifier over hurdles but he was pulled up in the Final last month; 100-1 when pulled up in Irish Grand National. |

4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 35y |

Dual hurdle winner scored her sole chase win in a C&D Q.R. handicap last year; not a bad effort in that same race last time and is down 1lb so is worth considering. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences here in January (19.5f, soft); failed to land a blow in the Kim Muir when last seen; chance if ready to rock after an absence back over timber. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Stayed on for second at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) in December on fourth chase start and got off the mark in this sphere at Punchestown (extended 2m6f, soft) in January; this is tougher but she travelled well and found plenty last time, and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. |

4-29 over fences, including Midlands National at Kilbeggan last summer and a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) last November, having failed to compete on two earlier attempts at that course; finished third behind Delta Work over C&D in November 2022; struggling a long way from home in the Grand National. |

Best of his runs on heavy was his win in a maiden hurdle in 2020; fell in the 2022 Topham over these fences; won a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) in November, having come a cropper on two earlier attempts at that course, but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another major career best. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner was well beaten in this last year but ran a nice race on sole start since at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) in January; 3lb rise for that 6l second seems harsh and this is harder but he has to be considered for yard that won this in 2024. |

20th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 80y |

Without a win over timber since October 2023 at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) off 102 and remains 8lb above that mark; has been out of form this season and no signs of a revival when pulled up on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |

Mixing hurdling and chasing in 2024; beat Shadow Rider by 2.5l at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy) in March off 126; beaten 5.75l off revised mark of 132 subsequently at Punchestown; well-beaten on latest after a break at Chepstow; will come on for that but has a bit to prove off his current rating |

Smart stayer over hurdles (dual Grade 2 winner); not done much chasing but returned to this discipline to win small-field contest at Clonmel and his Grade 3-fourth at Killarney was perfectly respectable; jumping will be tested here in first handicap; trainer going for four in a row in this. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |

Best known for his hurdling exploits but made it 2-4 over fences in winning a conditions chase at Clonmel last month (2m4f, soft); this is harder but he's clearly in good heart and likely to run well. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Better known as a hurdler, with seven wins in that sphere up to 3m; was below form at Leopardstown last time in first-time cheekpieces; did win on chasing debut in 2023 but was pulled up on last start in this sphere in 2024; however, is seemingly the choice of Jack Kennedy so commands maximum respect. |

Used to act on soft; short-headed off this mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f) in 2021 but tailed-off favourite in this race that October; not seen again until a satisfactory return this August but he was tailed off in the Irish Cesarewitch (50-1, helped set the pace) three weeks ago. |
