2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 71y |
11st 10lb |
Useful jumper made a bright start on the Flat, winning this race at skinny odds last July then following up in another Q.R. race over 1m6f at Listowel; soundly beaten in Curragh handicap on seasonal return latest but this is easier and he's best treated by race conditions; obvious chance. |

10st 3lb |
Good form on the Flat when last seen, taking third at Listowel before winning at 4-11 in a Bellewstown conditions race; more impressive was his head victory back at Listowel in September (1m6f, good to yielding); however, top weight and stable have better candidates. |

Winner on Flat debut here in 2022 over a mile; best known for winning 2024 Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, heavy); poor in runs following that until a close third here back on Flat in June (1m5f, good) when Sorrentino finished in front by a neck; won amateur race at Bellewstown latest (1m4f, good); leading contender who likes it here. |

Two wins in 2024 but no joy since; back to form with a 3.25l second at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) 29 days ago but remains 6lb above his last win and he's 2lb higher than when beaten 6.5l in this last year; would probably prefer softer ground too. |

Tow wins, notably the Lartigue at Listowel in 2024; only once near his best in eight starts since then, namely when second in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap last April; badly out of form in three handicap hurdle outings between October and December. |

Runner-up in the 2024 Fred Winter; won the Lartigue (big 4yo handicap) at Listowel last year; ended a run of poor form with Fairyhouse second on his final start last season; had a spin in a charity race at the Curragh in late-August, so no fitness doubts. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 5f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Smart dual-purposer type got the Galway Hurdle in the stewards' room last summer and beat very useful Absurde in conditions' hurdle last month; his Flat run at Chester in September proved that he's worthy of this mark and showed he had a bit of boot when running well over 1m on AW pre-Cheltenham. |

Won the Galway Hurdle last year off 145 (awarded race by stewards) and has also won twice on the level (rated 91); trip and ground fine here and he finished well ahead of Absurde in the County Hurdle last month, though he had a fitness edge that day; talented claimer takes off 5lb and every chance at the weights. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Very smart hurdler whose two visits to this meeting have produced a third in the 2024 Fred Winter and second to Kargese in this last year; improved again to win last summer's Galway Hurdle (pipped by Helvic Dream but awarded the race after suffering interference); below par when remote third to Lossiemouth in Grade 1 Morgiana in November but warmed up for this with a fine run on AW Flat last month over a trip short of his best; while his good record in top handicap hurdles (also second in 2024 Galway Hurdle) makes him a dangerous one to discount, he'll require a high-class performance to win off 156. |

Capable of useful form over fences in Ireland for Gordon Elliott but he's still to score in this sphere and has offered little for his new yard, jumping sketchily when pulled up in 3m Doncaster handicap three weeks ago; plenty more is required despite a tumbling mark. |

Won at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in December on second chase start; he hasn't kicked on from that on his two outings since but it was still a respectable effort behind a well-handicapped winner at Leicester (2m, heavy) last time and he could have a big part to play today. |

0-9 over hurdles but he made it second time lucky over fences when scoring at Ludlow (2m, good to soft; 12-1) in December; should have more to offer in this sphere but he was disappointing at Doncaster 19 days ago and needs to bounce back after that. |

Seventh in 2024's Fred Winter and encouraging start to her chase career last season including a Grade 2 success at Thurles; has failed to complete having made errors twice since including early unseat at Limerick on Monday; will be a big player despite conceding weight if she sorts her jumping out. |

25th Apr 2024 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
4yo filly who is a French hurdle winner (2m, heavy); pulled up in the Boodles at Cheltenham on last month's British debut and 50-1 when unseating at first flight at Cheltenham last Thursday; things may click at some stage but others have far less to prove. |

18th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Hurdle winner on heavy in France but beaten in her other eight races there, five of those over fences (twice runner-up); joined these connections for 30,000euros and she was barely sighted before pulling up when 80-1 for the Boodles here in March; not easily recommended on the back of that, for all that this isn't as demanding; good ground a complete unknown. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in this race last year off the same mark; fine efforts when runner-up in February on first two starts (2m, AW) since rejoining this yard, but reportedly made a respiratory noise next time and, following his third wind operation, he was a soundly beaten outsider in Listed race four weeks ago; others seem more solid. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fine efforts when runner-up in 2m AW handicaps in February on first two starts since rejoining this yard; reportedly made a respiratory noise at Musselburgh in April and he's had a third wind operation since; however, even if returning to form, a career-best if needed from this 6yo today. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

Left Gordon Elliott under a cloud and for £3,500; has run in three soft-ground handicaps for new yard, finishing closer on latest but still beaten 25l so he looks best watched for now despite the cheekpieces (tried once in Ireland, finished second of four) being reinstated. |
