17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 3lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles, including 2m4f novice here in 2024; not so effective a chaser, most recently dropping away tamely after forcing much of pace in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May; blinkers now replace cheekpieces on hurdles return with a bit to prove. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-Gordon Elliott; made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January but up and down since, with recent thirds just okay efforts (latest in this new headgear combination when behind Breizh River); may prefer softer ground ideally. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
A winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, he made a successful handicap chase debut for this yard at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January; reportedly hard to keep right, but he returned to form after three lesser efforts when third of five in returning cheekpieces (retained) over C&D (good) last month; first-time tongue-tie is also applied and he holds claims. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 |
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. |

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. |
