11st 12lb |
Runner-up in the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Bumper in 2022 and went one better in that same race last season; was a bit disappointing when fourth of 17 in a Leopardstown maiden on belated hurdle bow and was tailed off having jumped poorly behind Kopek Des Bordes; big player if he can get to the level of his bumper form. |

11st 12lb |
Clearly has not been the easiest to train; leading bumper horse over a period of more than two years, snaring a deserved Grade 1 at Punchestown last season; probably raced too keenly on his belated hurdles debut here at Christmas; this is a big step up but he has the bumper form. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Steadily progressive since upped in trip, winning 2m3f maiden here before considerably better form in 3m Albert Bartlett last month, only conceding second late on to Fruit De Mer having led at the last; handles this better ground and easier finish could suit. |

3rd 19 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected. |
9/1 |

3-6 in bumpers; promise on hurdles debut behind Thedeviluno and Skylight Hustle at Gowran; stayed on strongly for third in the Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; disappointed upped to Grade 1 company at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; leading claims upped in trip and returned to maiden company. |

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. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
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. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Won a 2m beginners' chase at Wexford in October; went close in a 2m Grade 2 here in November; after a break, well below his best at Thurles in March; career-best with the help of new hold-up tactics when outsider of eight in Grade 1 Fairyhouse, beating Kappa Jy Pyke; third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle here a year ago; fair chance of staying this far. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Smart novice hurdler at up to 3m last season; made a solid chasing debut at Gowran over 2m4f; won over 2m at Wexford in October; went close in a 2m Grade 2 contest at Punchestown in November; well below his best over an extended 2m5f at Thurles last time; faces a stiff task at this level. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 110y |

Won a 2m maiden hurdle at Wexford last year and often ran well in defeat in graded novice company up to 3m; made a solid chasing debut at Gowran over 2m4f; no problem with a drop to 2m at Wexford in October; went close in a 2m Grade 2 contest at Punchestown in November, no issue with a return to a longer trip. |

11st 11lb |
Point and debut bumper winner returned from a 619-day absence in December, coming good at third attempt with much improved effort in 2m6f Navan maiden in late February (heavy) under positive ride; every chance he'll stay this longer trip and should go well but Townend prefers Fillyoureye. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Point and debut bumper winner returned from a 619-day sbsence at Punchestown in December when tailed off (2m3f, heavy); better effort over C&D last time (soft to heavy) when weakened into a 13l sixth of 12; others preferred. |

Point and debut bumper winner was out of his depth in a Leopardstown Grade 2 and when fifth of seven in a strong Fairyhouse bumper; weakened quickly after three out to finish tailed off at Punchestown on hurdling debut last time (2m3f, heavy); can do better but others preferred. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Two bumper wins in Britain; mixed record over hurdles; made all for a wide-margin maiden win over 2m3f at Naas last November; disappointing in races at Carlisle and Uttoxeter; more like it when winning at Chepstow last month; tougher opposition now. |

11st 12lb |
Major player on the form of November's all-the-way Naas win (2m3f, good to yielding), but has folded sharply trying similar tactics twice since, proving no better for a three-month break latest; still no recourse to any headgear or aid, and caution necessarily advised for now. |

11st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences; ran well in a beginners' here in November but beaten 21l and pulled up in first two handicap chases at Punchestown and Cheltenham; others have more appealing profiles. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
7yo who is lightly raced over fences and represents top Irish yard; went close at Fairyhouse in November on second chase start but his form has gone the wrong way since and he was soundly beaten at Punchestown last month in his first handicap chase; ninth in the Pertemps Final here last March. |
33/1 |

11th 2 |
15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner; failed to add to a maiden hurdle win; remote third behind top-class stablemate Romeo Coolio on chase debut at Down Royal; went close in less demanding company over 2m4f at Fairyhouse; has failed to build on that in races at Leopardstown and Navan; cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut. |
