29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 7lb |
Hurdle winner at 2m3f but rarely ventures beyond 2m1f now, good third in last season's Grand Annual at Cheltenham but didn't seem to get home in 2m4f Plate at same venue last month; stamina concerns remain at this trip. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Hurdle winner at 2m3f; rarely ventures beyond 2m1f now and has something to prove in trying to repeat a very good third in the Grand Annual here (2m, good to soft; off 1lb lower) last March, having run three moderate races since, but there has been late support for him. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Has improved since finishing third at the Listowel festival, splitting Jasko De Dames and Drumgill; recorded his third chase win at Navan in December; up in grade here following a 9lb rise in the ratings; handles testing conditions. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
10st 12lb |
Got his second chasing win when taking a C&D handicap in August by a short head (good), probably value for more (idled and rider misjudged finish line); raised to current mark for run at Listowel and not disgraced when a keeping on third (17.5f, yielding to soft); one of the likelier contenders. |

Three-time chase winner went close over hurdles twice over 2m at Thurles in November on different ground; no impression at Leopardstown over Christmas; unseen since pulled up back over fences at Thurles in February; has won following a similar break before but never from a mark this high, albeit rider's claim helps; trainer also runs Magic Day. |

11th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is only 1-11 over fences, the win gained at Ffos Las (2m3f; stable debut) in May; has failed to back up that form in two subsequent starts (had further wind surgery since latest) and looks more exposed than these rivals. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who was given a wind op before winning quite stylishly on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May; disappointed when favourite to follow up at Bangor last month but could plausibly still have more improvement to come for this stable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Comes here in good heart; placed twice over fences and didn't see out 3m on return to hurdling when third at Kilbeggan; this looks a more suitable trip. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

More than two years since his last win; has dropped to a 5lb lower mark now; gave signs of a revival when a remote third at Limerick on latest. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 128y |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Chase winner last winter; has struggled in two handicap hurdle outings this season and was pulled up in a handicap chase at this venue at Christmas; needs to show some sign of a revival before becoming a betting proposition again; on a positive note, he has a good record at this venue, two wins and three seconds from nine races here. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran of the field but he won over 2m with plenty of give underfoot on first and fifth races for this yard, latterly at Uttoxeter in January on penultimate start; 2m4f a plausible excuse last time and he needs consideration. |
9/2 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 11yo, a zestful front-runner in recent campaigns who has won over 2m in the mud on the first and latest of his five races for current yard; the latter was a five-runner race at Uttoxeter four weeks ago, since which he's gone up another 4lb but it's this trip (despite 2m4f and 2m5f wins much earlier in career) which provides the most glaring question. |
11/2 |

1st 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish 11yo who made all at Haydock (2m, heavy) on stable debut in December 2024 and lost out only narrowly in this season's edition of that race five weeks ago (soft); has to take recent 4lb rise on the chin but can still make his presence felt here. |
