11st 2lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; 0-10 over fences, best runs when third in pair of handicaps at Wexford and Galway last summer; struggled since but not beaten far when sixth at Tramore 26 days ago and return to good ground will suit. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Irish 7yo whose broadly progressive form switched to chasing this season features a comfortable win at Roscommon (sole attempt over 3m1f; good) in the summer and good second in Thurles handicap (2m5f, yielding) last time; still reasonably unexposed and looks interesting back up in distance. |

2nd 2 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
11st 11lb |
Winning pointer and twice successful over hurdles for Pat Doyle; took third behind subsequent Galway Plate winner Western Fold on chasing debut before comfortably justifying favouritism next time at Roscommon (3m1f, good); made stable debut back from a break in a five-runner novice event at Fairyhouse last time when a distant fourth (2m5f, soft); shaped as though he would come on for the run that day. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Easily won four-runner contest at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) on stable/chase debut in January but was probably fortunate that day and not much has gone to plan since; never competitive after early jumping errors over the big Aintree fences last month and arrives here with a bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |
15/2 |

15th 24 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Capitalised on the favourite falling three out to win in small field at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January on stable debut and pulled up/well beaten on both runs since; hard to fancy on the face of it but his yard has an excellent record in this race over the years, so he's not a forlorn hope. |

Ex-Irish 8yo; won two-finisher contest on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but struggled to land a blow at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) last month; now sports cheekpieces; others have more persuasive profiles. |

Maiden hurdle winner; landed a beginners' chase at Thurles (2m5f, heavy) in January; had some of these behind when good second back over hurdles over this C&D latest (Jeriko De Baune third); quicker ground fine and in the mix again off just 1lb higher. |

Hurdles winner (rated 118); caught the eye when third of 10 in a Punchestown novice chase in November; not as good on latest at Navan but may not have appreciated soft ground; lacks a run but has gone well fresh before; very interesting. |

Bolted up at Sligo on her second start for her current yard in August (2m5f, good) off 107; tailed off at Ballinrobe following that and same story at Punchestown when last seen in October; the break may have done her good but she's hard to trust. |
