8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 180y |
10st 1lb |
Fine dual-purpose sort has 10 wins under all codes including a Bellewstown Flat handicap last August beating a below par Light Up The Dark; won the American Grand National when last seen; handles all ground; a big player. |

Useful dual-purpose sort ran a solid fourth on the Flat at Killarney in May; won over fences at Galway last time after being unplaced in the Plate earlier in the week; should run well. |

High-class hurdler; has won only one of his nine starts over fences, a Thurles beginners' event the season before last; fell at the fourth in the Ultima at Cheltenham on his final start last season; had a Flat run in May; third to Pinkerton in last year's Galway Plate; beaten almost 20l in seventh behind stablemate Western Fold in Wednesday's 2025 edition. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Smart hurdler in his prime and a dual chase winner for Henry de Bromhead this spring (2m, yielding/good); held every chance before last-flight mishap in French hurdle race on recent stable debut and commands respect on this return to fences. |

11st 12lb |
Dual Grade 2 hurdles winner in his pomp back in 2020/21; missed two full seasons before returning in October 2023 and hasn't looked the same horse, though he has won twice this season, including decent C&D beginners' chase last month (yielding); okay handicap debut run in competitive Punchestown contest since, this looks much easier despite the weight concession. |

11st 12lb |
Player on winter 2024's frame finishes in 2m chases for Willie Mullins, albeit gained on soft/heavy; dispiriting return following wind surgery in a Fakenham claiming hurdle latest, from which cheekpieces are retained. |

Three-time winning hurdler has clearly had his issues; unseen since tailed off in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October 2024; has the rating to be a big danger but questionable whether he can run to it after such a long time away. |

Last summer's Galway Plate winner has posted better RPR's in defeat in finishing second in Grade 2 at Down Royal and here at Christmas when staying-on third in 3m Paddy Power Handicap; not sure he wants ground this soft but respected. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 7lb |
Progressive 2m hurdler last season; second to stablemate Mister Policeman on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November; now 19lb better off but hard to be confident based on subsequent form; some encouragement from last week's Perth second, potentially well handicapped |

Progressive 2m hurdler last season; good second to a stable companion on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November (2m, soft/heavy); disappointing in better company since; down in grade but a bit to prove, including his stamina (first run at this trip). |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate and both wins were in Ireland; mostly consistent in small-field chases this season and the return of blinkers is a probable plus after trying a visor last time; has been running over shorter but stays this far; versatile ground-wise. |
5/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two Irish hurdle wins in 2021 but consistent in small-field chases this season, with best run arguably his second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; swaps usual blinkers for first-time visor; will probably be on the premises again. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |

Won on soft ground in Ireland; 0-6 over fences but back in good form of late, albeit in tiny fields; not the easiest to win with but has claims. |

After a layoff and on first start since rejoining stable, was back to winning ways, despite not jumping fluently, in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Killarney (gd-yld); raised 6lb and now steps up in grade; will need a career best to follow up. |
