12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
10st 4lb |
Hunter chase winner; yet to win a handicap, recent pick being 2m6f Fairyhouse second off 106 in first-time cheekpieces; two uninspiring recent efforts (on heavy) don't inspire confidence and headgear left off here. |

Hunter chase winner; yet to win a handicap and is getting on in years; creditable second at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start; not a bad effort at Punchestown last time over a trip that was probably short of his best. |

Has won his three starts in points since pulled up in a hunter chase at Clonmel in January; made the favourite Hearts And Spades work hard for his Dromahane win, and may again give his younger rival most to do. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish; third in a maiden hunter chase in January 2024 (2m5f, heavy); didn't show much in two chases for new yard in the winter, nor in two points in April; others stronger. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Placed in Irish hunter chase (2m5f, heavy) in early 2024 but struggled in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable last season and was pulled up when 66-1 for 2m4f handicap chase in December; upped in trip with tongue-tie/cheekpieces added today; leap of faith required to support him. |

Maiden point winner on only run in 2022; pulled up on his first two starts after a long layoff, including in a maiden hunter chase at Limerick; much better when fourth at Clonmel; only finisher behind the winner over the banks at Knockanard last month. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 10y |
11st 13lb |
Finished well ahead of Tullyhogue Fort when a 4.25L runner up behind Kilashee at Killarney last month, could have got closer but for late mistake; got a 5lb hike for that effort; stayed on well in that 2m7f contest and this extra couple of furlongs could suit; should handle conditions if it rains; shortlisted. |

Showed little form in maiden hurdles and has been equally disappointing over fences; still, has few miles on the clock and she was in the process of running a big race on handicap debut when a faller at Limerick over this trip in May; lively outsider. |

Is 1-16 in points but rated only 94 over fences and has a lot to find with some of these, so can't be fancied. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Point-to-point (3m) and Killarney maiden hurdle (20.5f) winner; may have needed the run on handicap chase debut when beaten 19.5l at Tramore (2m6f, gd-yld) a month ago but suspicion this trip may be on the sharp side. |

Runner-up in a point 15 months ago; ran no race on his track debut at Clonmel last month; a line can probably be drawn through that but needs to prove himself here. |

Half-brother to the smart Ballyoisin, winner of 11 of his 26 starts, including the Fortria Chase; made a couple of mistakes when beaten 10l in a maiden at Tinahely in November 2022; has had plenty of time to mature; could be too good for more exposed horses here; Rob James claims very valuable 7lb. |
