Left Willie Mullins in the doldrums and hasn't got a lot going for current yard; others preferred. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on old form for Willie Mullins; nothing to shout about in first four runs for this yard but there was some encouragement last time, despite beating just one home, when third at Hereford (2m, good) 12 days ago; big danger if he builds on that from a career-low mark. |

Competitively campaigned in the past year, often in small-field conditions race; third in the Kerry National and filled the same position in a Grade 2 at Down Royal; out of his depth in a 2m Grade 3 event at Naas before an excellent display in finishing second in the Troytown Chase. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 168y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has raced only on softer than good; ran well (fourth) in the Albert Bartlett over 3m here 12 months ago but failed to show his form when back at similar trip on latest chase start; promising record at 2m4f over fences, winning twice then solid third in Grade 1; however, he's the wrong age according to the stats (no horse older than eight has won this prize). |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 1f 60y |

Has seemingly improved for a fence and a step up in trip to 2m4f this season; ran with credit in the Drinmore here when last seen; has more to give over fences but a return to this sort of trip is the main question mark; not one to put a line through. |

4th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Smart chaser who put in two promising efforts when runner-up in the Red Rum at Aintree and a competitive handicap at Punchestown behind Plate winner Pinkerton; well held behind that rival four days ago but has leading claims back down to a more suitable trip. |
100/30 |

17th 3 |
31st Jul 2024 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 8lb |
Won a 2m1f Grade 1 at Leopardstown the season before last; returned to form when second in the Red Rum at Aintree; beaten a short head in a valuable 2m Punchestown festival handicap; finished second in a 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree as a novice, but not certain to stay effectively enough to win a race of this high standard. |

5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very well handicapped on some of his old form for Willie Mullins but, following a layoff, was soundly beaten on his two starts for Venetia Williams (both 3m); probably best watched at present. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his best form for Willie Mullins and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he struggled in 2024 on his final two runs for that yard and, after missing all of last year, was pulled up at 100-1 on last month's stable debut; a dramatic turnaround is necessary. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has landed some notable handicaps at 2m, including over C&D in October 2023; creditable third when attempting to repeat that success and has had a break since; might be vulnerable to younger legs. |

2nd Feb 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 107y |
11st 11lb |
Has landed some big handicaps at 2m, notably at Aintree and Cheltenham in 2023; respectable third when attempting to repeat latter success in October and has had a break since; probably not quite the force of old and now steps up in trip. |

C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he was an encouraging third at Bangor in November following a break; however, this inconsistent 12yo is winless since March 2023 and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle and three-time chase winner when based in Ireland; makes stable debut from a workable mark and will find this easier than Punchestown festival hurdle he contested in April but has fitness to prove and would appeal much more on soft/heavy ground. |

Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden. |
16/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well. |

Better chaser; generally well below best last season; encouraging run at Galway on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan; remote fifth at Tramore; 1-1 at the track; well treated relative to chase mark. |

Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

Grade 3-winning hurdler here hasn't progressed over fences as hoped, despite landing long odds in Tipperary mares maiden; well held behind Fighting Fit in handicaps and tame hurdles effort latest hardly inspires confidence although remains well handicapped on her best form. |
