11st 5lb |
Point winner in 2021; bumper winner at Leopardstown in March 2022; won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and Ffos Las novice event near the end of last season, odds-on both times; made handicap hurdle debut here at the festival (rated 135) and was staying on when badly hampered at the last; not an easy assignment for chase debut. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on staying form as recent as last March and it's possible the step back up in trip will be a positive; however, unable to pose a threat across his six runs this season and has to raise his game. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has had a disappointing season so far, beaten 26l+ on first four starts before a more encouraging front-running effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ascot (2m3.5f, soft) nine days ago; 6lb lower than latest win last March and eased in class so hard to dismiss completely. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
In good form last spring but woeful in three runs this season, beaten at least 34l each time; perhaps cheekpieces will rekindle his enthusiasm but he's difficult to recommend unless strong in the market. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced; tenacious winner of 2m5f chase at Newton Abbot (good) last June but soft ground may have counted against her next time and she wasn't seen after July; a long way back on her recent yard debut but there's still hope for her at this level on anything like her old form. |
8/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Scored on her second chase start at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last June for John O'Shea; absent since last July and makes stable debut; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour. |
7/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in the autumn and battled on gamely for narrow chase success here (2m5f, good) last month; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; cheekpieces (worn once last year) are refitted; probably won't be far away. |
