12st 0lb |
Promising early in his career for this stable and initially did well for Willie Mullins, winning twice over hurdles and taking fourth in the Supreme Novices'; also placed in good company over fences; has prospered again in points this season; Journey With Me got a better jump at the last to beat him in a hunter chase at Cork last month. |

Promising sort early in his career for this stable and initially did well for Willie Mullins, winning twice over hurdles and taking fourth in the Supreme Novices'; also placed in good company over fences; has prospered again in points this season and looks the part here. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 142; smart form over hurdles for Willie Mullins including a fourth in the Supreme; solid efforts in first two beginners' chases at Fairyhouse last season before soundly beaten in Grade 2 novice handicap back at Cheltenham in March; has since left Willie Mullins; capable of going well if fit for return in first-time tongue tie. |

11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Martin Pipe, then third to Dancing City in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown; won two small-field Grade 2 chases at this venue last season and finished third in the Brown Advisory; sixth in the Irish Grand National; returned with a satisfactory second behind a shorter-priced stablemate in the Boyne Hurdle here; capable sort is again the stable's number two. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 180y |

Won the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham two seasons ago, then third to Dancing City in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown; won two small-field Grade 2 chases at this venue last season and finished third in the Brown Advisory; sixth in the Irish Grand National, running off a mark of 154; hurdles rating of 145 is the lowest of this sextet. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |
11st 12lb |
Won the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last year, then third to Dancing City in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown; 2-4 over fences, including Grade 2 at Navan over 3m on soft to heavy, when jumped notably well; on better ground, failed to confirm form with Stellar Story when third in the Brown Advisory; big burden for a novice, rider's 7lb claim a major asset. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Gained a fifth win over hurdles at Cartmel last June but has lost his way since; heavy defeats the last twice at Naas and Aintree; is at least back down to last winning mark, but needs a revival. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Irish challenger who has done his winning at about 2m, mostly at Cartmel where he remains unbeaten; far from consistent and can be opposed in this highly competitive scenario back up in distance. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 6lb |
Second-season chaser who showed improved form when runner-up at Wexford and Leopardstown on his first two starts this season; Grand Annual fourth confirmed a level of form that makes him interesting in this company; good 5lb claimer. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Second-season chaser who has shown improved form when runner-up on both starts this term, most recently second of 20 to Addragoole at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; this unexposed 7yo could have even more to offer and might have a part to play; wears a first-time hood. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
11st 7lb |
Lightly-raced six-year-old who won Galway maiden hurdle on debut and looked good when winning a novice chase at Limerick last December (2m1f, yielding to soft); questions to answer on seasonal return following disappointing runs at Punchestown in February and Fairyhouse in April. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Vastly inferior hurdler to his two rivals and he's now 0-9 over fences; should be outclassed. |
