7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |

Formerly useful for Wille Mullins and ran okay in Flat maidens in the autumn, but his recent hurdles form has been poor and mark on the slide. |

Won a bumper and maiden hurdle over 2m for Willie Mullins in an interrupted career; form for current yard over hurdles and Flat suggests he needs to find a fair bit of improvement. |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (3m1f, yielding) in December but hasn't backed that up, most recently never counting when modest enough fourth at Fairyhouse; remains opposable. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |

Maiden went close to landing breakthrough win at Leopardstown (24.5f, yielding) in December off 3lb lower; unseated over 2m in a beginners' here, then finished a modest fourth over 3m6f at Cheltenham; 6lb lower here but needs to find extra to shed the maiden tag. |

Maiden; 0-8 in chases; runner-up in the Dublin National over 3m4f at Leopardstown last March and over 3m at the same track in December, both on yielding ground; 2m in cheekpieces did not work out last time; right back up in trip today but needs a big career best. |

Two wins on the Flat, rated as high as 95 when with Sir Mark Prescott; a long way below that in a Flat event at Listowel a month ago; took well enough to hurdling in four outings between March and June, best effort when second at Punchestown in May; let down by his jumping at Downpatrick in September; good chance if producing his best on first-time cheekpieces. |

Reserve; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe last summer but was disappointing when last seen in this sphere at Cheltenham last autumn when wore a hood; however, has improved plenty over fences since and ran a cracker in an Aintree Grade 3 last time; 4lb out of the handicap but hurdles mark is 14lb lower than chase one; check the market if getting a run. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Irish 7yo who was successful last August/November in first two chase attempts, including at Kempton (3m, good); something to prove in this scenario, having posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps on last two starts, but in excellent hands and may yet resume improvement; not written off. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; this is a much deeper race than the one he won by more than 4l over C&D in November (good; effective on softer) but unwise to read too much into his subsequent defeats in Ireland that were at about 2m; a 7lb higher mark than for that last win could count, however. |

Belatedly opened her account on the AW (1m2f) in March off 52; pick of three turf runs since when close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good), didn't count in similar event last time; bad draw but still respected. |
