5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 0lb |
Three-time hurdles winner rated 138 in that discipline; not too much to get excited about so far chasing, never counting last twice in handicaps over much further; down markedly in trip here off potentially favourable mark. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time hurdles winner has shown modest chase form to date. including in his first handicap chase last time when beaten 17.5l by Goraibhmaithagat here (2m4f, heavy) at 40-1; best watched for the moment. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Sustained improvement as a handicap hurdler in 2023/2024 season, winning first three starts in 2m4f Navan contests (soft to heavy); modest chase form in three runs to date; makes handicap chase debut (10lb lower mark than hurdles) now so may do better. |

Pulled-up either side of a fine second at Navan; front-runner is at her best when getting a clear lead but is inconsistent; a player if at that best. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had smart form when with Gordon Elliott before losing his way and selling for £3,000; fell midrace on stable debut but, with the cheekpieces back on, he outran odds of 100-1 to finish a fairly close third at Haydock (3m4f, good); if as good again here then he could have some say. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly campaigned in competitive staying chases when with Gordon Elliott and did not accomplish much this season; £3,000 buy in February but fell mid-race here 11 days ago on debut for new yard; cheekpieces (tried once) return; major questions to answer. |

11st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner is now 0-8 chasing but some good runs in defeat, including 2m6f Listowel handicap; no match for 15l winner The Enabler in Fairyhouse novice on latest but remains of interest back in handicap with cheekpieces now tried. |
15/2 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Best of four runs in beginners' chases when second at the Galway festival; creditable third over 2m6f at Listowel on handicap debut; could not be guaranteed to uphold form with Weveallbeencaught who may have needed the run. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Best of four runs in beginners' chases came at Galway last time where beaten 0.75l into second of 16; could be well treated for his handicap chase debut on that evidence but seems best going right-handed. |

10st 13lb |
Two wins on the Flat in 2025 but losing run over hurdles stretches back to a Grade 2 win at Cheltenham in December 2020; new yard now and has been off since October; may need this run. |

Veteran has had a good season on the Flat, recording 2m wins at Tramore and Clonmel; decent run back at 1m4f on latest and now reverts to hurdles for first time since January 2024 (Grade 2 Cheltenham novice winner in his day). |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 7lb |
Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |
40/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |

Sole win from 15 starts came at Punchestown in 2023 off 105; didn't run badly on seasonal return in a Listed handicap hurdle here (2m4f, heavy) but stopped quickly and pulled up at Navan next time (2m4f, soft to heavy); ran one of his best races last time when headed late on into second here (2m, heavy); return to this trip is no issue and place chance with a repeat. |
