11st 10lb |
Prospered after second to Western Fold on chase debut at Tipperary last May; hat-trick included small-field 3m Grade 2s at this venue and Navan; took time to warm up and left with plenty to do in the Brown Advisory, made late progress to finish fourth behind Kitzbuhel; towards the back when unseated at the 15th (Chair) in the Grand National. |

10st 13lb |
A first-season novice won the 2022 Grand National when unraced beyond 3m1f and this Irish challenger (who's one year older) bids to repeat the feat; hat-trick this season included two small-field Grade 2s and when his winning sequence came to an end it was in the Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival, where some slow jumping in the early stages left him with plenty to do but he made late inroads to finish fourth; he still looks capable of better and the longer trip could suit. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |

Progressive over fences, winning soft-ground 3m Grade 2s at Punchestown in November (beat Koktail Divin) and Navan in February (by 6l from The Wallpark) on his last two starts; has a better chance on form for his two-horse trainer than double-figure odds suggest; one to consider each-way. |

10st 11lb |
Winning hurdler and 0-8 but better chaser, standout run on seasonal return when third of 28 in 3m1f Paddy Power Handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas (yielding); hasn't backed that up however on softer ground, well held in both Leopardstown handicap and Leinster National; return to better ground and first-time cheekpieces could see an improved showing. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-13 and no wins from seven chasing starts; however, he was still travelling nicely when making a bad mistake and unseating at two out in this race last year off 3lb lower (3m1f, soft); led over the last at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) in a Listed chase on seasonal return before fading into a 5.75l third; had blood at both nostrils when tailed off last time; not ruled out if bringing his best. |

Hurdle winner is a maiden over fences after six starts, but ran a cracker when third in the Paddy Power Chase over 3m here last time; should strip fitter for that seasonal debut and be a big player, even raised 3lb. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a standout season, highlighted by landing Grade 3 honours at Naas in January (2m, heavy); has been found out upped to Grade 1 level twice this term, 19l behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana Hurdle (16.5f, soft to heavy) and no chance when unseated at the last in the Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft); below his best in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last time; hard to see him being involved. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Better than ever this season and has contested two Grade 1s; appreciated the drop in class when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) and this 7yo is a good bet to give his running (stays this far); very sound jumper. |
15/2 |

1st 4 |
25th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 190y |

Better than ever this season, winning over 2m3f at Punchestown and has run well in defeat since chasing home clear-cut winners at same venue in both Grade 1 Morgiana Hurdle and when over 8l off front-running Fabiolo on New Year's Eve (2m3f); seems sure to run another solid race (running in colours of Limestone Lad). |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gifted a 2m4f Uttoxeter race two starts back (soft), and 3m was clearly too far last time; not wholly convincing, but his one win on merit came at this time of year in 2024 on good (2m4f); tongue-tie added. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Ex-Irish 7yo; well held in his first three runs for Dan Skelton and he was around 17l down when he was gifted a race here (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; this is a deeper contest and he has work to do to back up in trip. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Point and bumper winner who also showed promise in maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott; it's possible he'll be suited by the switch to fences on today's handicap and stable debut, but he's been absent since January and no chances have been taken with his mark; may be best watched. |

Point and bumper winner; has gone close in a couple of maiden hurdles over 2m4f; sets the standard on form but he didn't seem to appreciate the step up to this sort of trip at Fairyhouse three weeks ago so has stamina to prove. |

Dual point winner on good ground in the latter part of last season; poor form on the track so far; good ground and a switch to chasing failed to spark a revival in form at Tramore last month; this headgear combination for the first time. |
