10st 8lb |
Won a point for this stable in 2022 and a Thurles bumper for Willie Mullins two seasons ago; back with his original trainer now; nothing like the force he was judged on four runs since January. |

11st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo who has won a point and a bumper; one to watch in the betting but he's been pulled up/tailed off this year on his first two hurdle starts, following a long absence. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdle win over 2m4f; 0-6 chasing this term, decent handicap debut run at Leopardstown (2m6f), most recently halfway faller in 3m5f Ulster National; others possibly better handicapped and trip remains an unknown. |
16/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Maiden hurdle over 2m4f; 0-5 chasing this term, modest placings behind stablemates in two beginners' events; fair effort when fourth at Leopardstown in his first handicap chase; open to improvement, but stablemate Uncle Pat appears more attractively handicapped |
9/1 |

4th 10 |
2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
10st 4lb |
After winning his maiden hurdle over 2m4f (Fairyhouse) he was pulled up twice; 0-4 chasing this term, modest placings behind stablemates the last twice; doesn't exactly seem thrown in on handicap chase debut (5lb higher than hurdles). |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 11lb |
The winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle; this is a big ask for a maiden over fences (0-4) but his seconds read well (pushed Spread Boss Ted close in one of those) and he looked in need of further than 2m4f when behind that rival and Funiculi Funicula on his handicap debut at Punchestown; could deliver the career best this race demands. |
9/1 |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
One of eight for trainer; dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024; runner-up on chase debut at this venue (2m7f, heavy) before falling four out back here next time; failed to justify 5-6 favouritism at Naas (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time when a 0.5l second behind Spread Boss Ted; now enters handicap chase company. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; rated 134 over hurdles; completed a hat-trick (two bumpers/maiden hurdle) in 2024; finished second/third in Graded races over 3m/2m4f; good effort on chasing debut at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy) to take the runner-up spot despite market weakness; fell at four out back at that venue last time; Townend sticks with him and this looks easier than his previous starts. |

11st 7lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-2 over fences but shaped like his turn was near here on penultimate when chasing home Rockonliam (19.5f, good); hampered and unseated at the first on latest at Galway; chance, but might prefer more of a stamina test. |
6/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 11lb |
1-12 over hurdles; posted a solid effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good) last month, keeping on from the back for a 4.5l second of 14; not obviously well treated for handicap chase bow but not written off. |

Mare is now 0-7 in bumpers but has run to a decent enough level of form, most recently front-running fourth at Killarney; can be keen and needs to settle better to see out this trip. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Ran away with Navan (2m, soft) maiden on second start for this yard last season and solid enough effort in Listed handicap at Fairyhouse afterwards; back from 10 months' absence when pulled up in 2m Naas handicap in February, having raced prominently to three out; better for that run but fair bit to find on ratings here. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Has some useful form over hurdles and on the Flat, though has been tailed off in both disciplines since returning from a break of 72 days; if back on song, he would have a part to play in this company on chase debut. |

11st 10lb |
Record 5-7 (hurdles/fences) for current yard and 3-3 since ridden by Charlie Deutsch; looked value for more than the winning margin at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently; respected with further progress possible. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner; fell when appearing to have it in the bag on his chase debut and perhaps remembering that tumble when below par next time; has since got himself firmly back on track with wins at Leicester (2m, good) and Hereford (2m5f, soft); benefited from sitting off a strong pace last time and has gone up 10lb, but looks a chaser on the upgrade. |
