2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 11lb |
Last season's 4m Scottish National winner but mixed bag this term however, including early faller in Thyestes and most recently mistakes before unseating four out in Aintree National; hard to be confident in and handicapper not relenting. |
16/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Leopardstown seventh to Favori De Champdou at Christmas was a glimpse of what he's capable of; the performance which really gets the juices flowing, however, came in the Scottish National at Ayr (4m, good to soft) last April when very confidently ridden and unleashed to find a tremendous response on the run-in, cutting down the leader; it's very hard to rule him out after that, despite the 12lb higher mark. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with Scottish National win at Ayr (4m, good to soft); very pleasing return when third to top-class Romeo Coolio in Grade 1 Drinmore here (2m4f, yielding to soft); a shade disappointing in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown when seventh (3m, yielding); well backed to land the Theyestes last time when stable first string but fell at the fifth; Townend abandons ship now but he has ability and likes this track. |

10st 4lb |
Much improved on yard debut to win over hurdles at Punchestown festival in May; absent until November and some merit in three beginners' chases, latest over inadequate trip here at Christmas; likely improver now upped in trip for handicap debut. |

Dual point winner showed some promise in maidens; pulled-up in a Sligo handicap last time and questions to answer. |

Dual point-to-point winner but not too much to recommend under Rules, brought down early on recent handicap hurdle debut at Galway; probably best watched for now. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Only poor form shown over hurdles in Ireland for Norman Lee and also pulled up in a couple of points either side of Christmas; starts out handicapping for a good yard here though so she's no forlorn hope, especially if the market vibes are positive. |

Showed promise in a bumper on debut but nothing in four starts since, including when sent off 200-1 over hurdles at Naas latest; no appeal. |
