2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
11st 12lb |
All three chase wins have been at Fairyhouse, notably the 2024 Irish National; well below best this season however, most recently at same venue in Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase in February; hard to be confident in and wants softer ground. |

11st 0lb |
Best efforts have come at this track with all three chase wins coming here, notably the 2024 Irish National; chased home Nick Rockett in this race last season; performances this season have been disappointing; faded from four out at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); pulled up in the Welsh National (3m6f, good to soft) and same story in the Theyestes last time; needs to come back to form. |

Best efforts at Fairyhouse; all three chase wins there, notably the 2024 Irish National; confirmed liking for that track when chasing home Nick Rockett last February; failed to take to the fences in the Grand National; faded from four out in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November; very laboured display in the Welsh National, pulled up at the 15th; up against it now. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Well suited by a slog in the mud but seems badly to have lost his way; needs combination of change of headgear and switch to cross-country chasing to rekindle his enthusiasm. |

11st 3lb |
None too consistent and was well held when falling at Punchestown last time in the race won by stablemate Fortunedefortunata; however, he does have a valuable staying 3m3f handicap in the bag and was looking threatening in the Welsh National in December until he clouted four out (in first-time blinkers that have been retained since); his best days have been on slow ground. |

14th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Some decent chase form last season; placed off 116 in Naas handicap and not beaten far by Intense Raffles in Fairyhouse beginners; his fall in last month's Ulster National (only 9-1) was his third in four starts, though, so has to sort out his jumping. |

First reserve; interrupted campaign chasing and best run when third in 2m6f Fairyhouse beginners last season (soft); better for recent comeback run but still hard to see him having an impact; 1lb wrong. |

11st 1lb |
Galway specialist with all three wins having come at the track; back-to-back winner over hurdles and fences here last term at 2m and 2m6f on soft and good to yielding; well beaten in two starts in May in Punchestown and Ballinrobe; he's up 12lb since his chase win last season, but he loves this place. |

1-13 over fences; won back to back races at Galway last August-September including a chase (22.5f, gd-yld) off 113; well-beaten off this mark on return from six months off when behind a couple of these at Punchestown; others make more appeal. |

Bumper and hurdle winner was 0-5 over fences for Henry De Bromhead; has moved stables after a couple of heavy hurdles defeats at Leopardstown and Navan; ran well at just short of this trip in the Connacht National (3m1f, good) last year and just 1lb higher here; not discounted on debut for new yard. |

Two wins over hurdles but 0-6 chasing on soft ground, reportedly struck into at Gowran last time; some encouragement at same track previously; longer trip and better ground could see improvement; 1lb wrong. |

Two wins over hurdles; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at last season's Punchestown festival; ran prominently in a 2m4f handicap chase here on return, had weakened before falling two out. |

15th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Two-time hurdles winner is 0-4 over the bigger obstacles; reverts to chasing after two poor efforts over timber; pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown when last seen in May 2024 in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); rated 6lb lower over fences but he's hard to fancy. |
