2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Decent performer at his best for Willie Mullins, winning 2m4f Naas beginners' chase last season and ran well for a long way in 4m Scottish National; struggled back hurdling earlier this season before let go for 16,000gns in January; surpassed expectations (125-1) on yard debut in 3m Kim Muir at Cheltenham when beaten under 10l in first-time cheekpieces; can't be ruled out on banks' debut. |

Won 2m4f beginners chase at Naas last March and ran well for a long way in the Scottish National in April (4m) before fading; however, struggled over hurdles on final two runs for Willie Mullins and sold for 16,000gns in January; big revival needed in first-time cheekpieces on stable debut. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |

Winner on sole Flat start in a French 1m7f conditions race on very soft ground in 2021; useful but error-prone chaser; made mistakes when pulled up in the bet365 at Sandown and the Galway Plate; deprived better-fancied stablemate Sorrentino of third in a 1m6f Listowel event; more on his plate here |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 195y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner who ran a big race when fourth of 17 in a Punchestown handicap hurdle; reportedly made a noise when tailed off at Thurles since and has a bit to find back in maiden hurdle company after 140 days off; return to further will help at least. |

Point-to-point winner and did well on his handicap debut when a close fourth in a 2m4f contest at Punchestown last month; didn't quite see it out that day so the drop in trip could suit. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Has been mostly chasing in the last year, winning a Kilbeggan beginners' over 2m5f; mightn't have lasted 3m2f last time and this trip back off a lower hurdles mark can suit; chance. |

Beginners' chase winner last year for Declan Queally but hasn't been as good since for different yards; has to return to best on second start for this stable; better ground a help. |

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 |

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. |

Sprang an 80-1 surprise at Kilbeggan (3m1f, gd-yld) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago; up 5lb and drops back in trip (has won at 21.5f before); ground fine and could go well again. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 200y |

6th 14 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Won on handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May last year (2m5f, yielding); returned from a break with a new stable and has finished tailed off in two handicap runs so far; she is dropping down the handicap but hard to have faith. |
33/1 |
Verdict
Bumper winner The Story So Far is likely to get in the shake-up, while Hollow Rodger has similar claims if she can improve from her Thurles track debut. This should go to OLYMPIC MAN, beaten at 2-5 when runner-up at Galway in October, but is likely to be too good for these. [Justin O’Hanlon]
