1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point and dual bumper winner; off the mark over hurdles on penultimate start when making all for a dominant win at Naas (18.5f, sft-hvy); 3m may have stretched him when well beaten in the Albert Bartlett last time; may do better dropped back in trip; place claims. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Excellent third when favourite for the 2024 Champion Bumper here; missed last season but definite signs of getting his act together over hurdles in posting an eyecatching RPR when strolling home at long odds-on in a 2m2f maiden at Naas (soft to heavy; effective on drier ground); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f but might yet prove that stamina is one of his assets; respected. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 101y |

Won a point and two bumpers before finishing third when favourite for the Grade 1 at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival; not seen again until chasing home subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Sortudo in a Cork maiden in November; outpointed by Frankie John at Leopardstown at Christmas; missed a Grade 1 engagement at the DRF; change of ground cited, but has won on soft-to-heavy. |

11st 12lb |
Runner-up in the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Bumper in 2022 and went one better in that same race last season; was a bit disappointing when fourth of 17 in a Leopardstown maiden on belated hurdle bow and was tailed off having jumped poorly behind Kopek Des Bordes; big player if he can get to the level of his bumper form. |

2nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Clearly has not been the easiest to train; leading bumper horse over a period of more than two years, snaring a deserved Grade 1 at Punchestown last season; probably raced too keenly on his belated hurdles debut here at Christmas; this is a big step up but he has the bumper form. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Useful bumper and hurdles performer won her sole start on the Flat in a 1m4f (heavy) Curragh maiden last November; easy maiden and novice wins over timber at Punchestown on her last two starts and could be on a lenient mark for Flat handicap debut; interesting. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Very useful bumper performer, 3-12 in that sphere, second to Bambino Fever at Leopardstown last year; Flat maiden winner over 1m4f (heavy); aimed high in five starts over hurdles, second in Listed race at this track in December, respectable eighth in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown; easy winner of maiden hurdle over C&D 24 days ago; has class, is ground-versatile and sets a good standard. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Ran in 12 bumpers, winning three and second to Bambino Fever in a Grade 1 at this venue; also 1m4f maiden winner at the Curragh; kept good company in novice hurdles during the winter (last two outings in Grade 1s); might not want the ground too lively but look the part now on her first maiden start since 4l second in a 22-runner contest at Navan last December |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Steadily progressive since upped in trip, winning 2m3f maiden here before considerably better form in 3m Albert Bartlett last month, only conceding second late on to Fruit De Mer having led at the last; handles this better ground and easier finish could suit. |
9/2 |

3rd 19 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected. |
9/1 |

1st 5 |
26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |

3-6 in bumpers; promise on hurdles debut behind Thedeviluno and Skylight Hustle at Gowran; stayed on strongly for third in the Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; disappointed upped to Grade 1 company at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; leading claims upped in trip and returned to maiden company. |

29th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying prohibitive odds at Listowel (good) but he was in trouble a long way out at Cork and was beaten 7l; surely better than he showed that day but Patrick Mullins gets him off this time. |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 3f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Has a quality Flat pedigree and made 52,000gns as a yearling but has taken time to get to the track; it was worth the wait, however, as he won a Listowel bumper impressively a month ago; should take plenty of beating with improvement likely too. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |
11st 13lb |
Useful bumper form in 2023, second at Listowel, beat a Gordon Elliott-trained favourite at Down Royal; fell on hurdling debut last May and failed to make much impact in three subsequent maiden attempts; third over C&D at Christmas suggests he is getting the hang of things (subsequent winner Marelly back in seventh); can win a race of this standard. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Maiden and novice hurdle winner for Willie Mullins in 2024; lost way for that stable and pulled up in a Thurles handicap chase on debut for this yard in December, his fourth non-completion in six starts; new headgear combination tried. |
6/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 130 over hurdles; never remotely dangerous when third on chase debut and was towards the rear when unseating four out at Galway (2m6f, good; first-time tongue-tie; 25-1); others appeal more, including stablemate Uncle Pat who was a lot shorter in the betting than him at Galway. |

Struggled at 150-1 on bumper debut in Ireland in December 2023; pulled up in Bangor maiden hurdle (2m, good) on comeback last month and was tailed off when switched to the Flat at Doncaster (1m4f novice) on Sunday; can only be watched. |
