2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
11st 0lb |
Career highlight when winning last season's Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good-to-soft); two prep runs over hurdles this season before attempting repeat Cheltenham bid but none too fluent and never landed a blow on quicker ground; bit to prove right now but rider's claim a positive. |

11st 5lb |
Backed into 12-1 when winning this off 6lb lower last year (good to soft) under Barry Stone, when clear with Johnnywho (who won the Ultima on Tuesday off 6lb higher than 12 months ago); pulled up in the Irish National next time and well beaten/pulled up over hurdles on both runs this season, so has something to prove regarding current form, but he could go well back here. |

10st 10lb |
Last season's Kim Muir winner; earlier hurdles form included 2m6f Navan handicap win off 128 (heavy); probably needed the run on comeback over C&D at Christmas, so more expected of now and yard in fine form. |

11st 5lb |
Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |

Winning hurdler, 0-10 over fences but worth considering after two seconds in beginners' chases; beaten 5 1/2l by the subsequent Paddy Power winner Meetingofthewaters at Cork; good effort against the in-form Ask Anything over 2m4f at this venue. |

Rolled back the years to win over fences at Navan in February but didn't stay 4m2f last time in the Uttoxeter Midlands National; races off his last winning hurdle mark, so not ruled out. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 3m 4f 61y |
10st 11lb |
Four-time winner; completely tailed off at Down Royal in January but better judged on her previous second in a veterans' chase at Limerick; each-way chance. |

23rd Jan 2024 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Most recent of her four wins was over hurdles in April 2022; the stable is enjoying a fine season and positives can be taken from her second in a five-runner veterans' contest at Limerick. |

Never really involved at Roscommon albeit she stuck to her guns really well to bag a modest fourth; jumping left a bit to be desired on that occasion and if she has ironed out those frailties, she should hold her own here. |

Veteran stayer won back-to-back handicap chases at Down Royal and Fairyhouse (3m5f Porterstown Chase) late last year; has warmed up for this with a hurdles run; a bold showing is not out of the question. |

Very lightly raced since a creditable third in a 2m4f beginners' chase at Clonmel in March 2021; pulled up in a point-to-point at Moira in October on his first run after a long absence; suffered the same fate in a handicap hurdle at Navan last month. |
