4th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 193y |
11st 11lb |
Very useful hurdler and last track success came here in 3m beginners chase just over a year ago (yielding) for Gordon Elliott; well held here in 2m6f handicap in November and reported to have bled from the nose when pulled up in 3m2f Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day, having not jumped well; questions to answer on cross-country debut. |

2nd May 2024 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Seven career wins, the most recent when beating Asterion Forlonge in a Thurles conditions event last year; runner-up in the same contest last month after chasing home Monkfish at Gowran; consistent and deserves a change of luck but it is unlikely to come here. |

2018 Supreme winner and has a smart level of recent form too; chased home Monkfish in a Grade 2 hurdle at Gowran last time and a repeat of that effort could be enough. |

Course hurdle winner is 1-12 over fences but that came back in 2021; runner-up over fences at Limerick in March but was disappointing over hurdles at Cork since. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 5lb |
Veteran gained a third win over hurdles over C&D (yielding-soft) in November off 7lb lower, his first win for over four years; went close off 3lb higher chase mark at Limerick 24 days ago; not one to dismiss on ground he'll handle. |

Chase win came in 2m6f Thurles beginners' back in 2021; first success since when landing 3m Cork handicap hurdle in December and good third over C&D at Christmas; two heavy defeats since, latest behind Dancing Jeremy over inadequate 2m2f at Thurles; bit to find. |
