Two chase wins on heavy in the 2023/24 season; sole piece of form this season came when second to an improver over 3m at Navan in similar ground, well held the last twice at 3m4f including in National Trial here; 6lb wrong. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 4f 61y |
11st 11lb |
Two chase wins on heavy in the 2023/24 season; pulled up on Cork seasonal return but more like it at Navan next time when a runner-up (3m, soft to heavy); moderate Punchestown run next time and pulled up at Navan in February (3m, heavy); 16l ninth in a Listed handicap at Punchestown later in the month was an improvement (3m4f, heavy); Donoghue rides for first time since 2024. |

Two chase wins on heavy in the 2023/24 season; failed to find his best form last season; pulled up on Cork return; more like it when second to shorter-priced stablemate The Lovely Man over 3m at Navan December; moderate run at this venue last month, tailed off at Navan last Sunday; questions to answer. |

Three-time chase winner has not been at his best this season; pulled up at Navan 66-1 last time; new blinkers need to work a miracle. |

Has won four times at Fairyhouse; only other success gained over 3m4f at Leopardstown the season before last; soundly beaten in three outings during November/December; trainer probably has a better chance with Mighty Oak Lad. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y |
11st 1lb |
Flat winner; 2-26 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase in April last year; yet to shine for this stable; not badly handicapped on his old form, needs a revival. |

Two-time Flat winner is 2-25 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase last April; has been out of form since joining Cian Collins; well-handicapped on old form but he's hard to fancy on recent showings. |

11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner has been below his best the last twice but has run well in defeat at this track and his yard is in form so he can't be ruled out. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 8lb |
Two handicap chase wins, including over C&D in July 2024; fine comeback run after 16 months' absence at Leopardstown when a staying-on third behind Harbour Highway over 2m6f (yielding); ground may been too testing at Limerick more recently. |
6/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 150y |

Two handicap chase wins include over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in summer of 2024; fine comeback run after 16 months' absence at Leopardstown recently when staying-on third over 2m6f (yielding) without his usual cheekpieces; big player if backing that up. |

Former smart hurdler, rated 135 at this peak in 2019 during his time with Jessica Harrington; now on his fourth different trainer since those days; chase form has been dismal in recent seasons; had dropped out of contention when falling three out in a 2m4f Navan handicap on first start for Gordon Elliott. |
