May have needed last month's run here after a break; runs this track well and won this 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; considered. |

11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |

Five hurdle wins, including here, plus one chase score; won at Tramore over this trip last time and is 5lb higher in a better race so needs a bit more. |

Only his fifth run and second handicap when going close on his step up to 3m at Bellewstown (good to yielding); nudged up 3lb but surely has more to offer. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
3-7 for new stable since last summer, with one win gained over C&D (good) and the latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this race is more competitive but she might still be on the upgrade. |
9/2 |

1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |

Deeply frustrating horse but improved over banks in the spring, second to Stumptown over 3m; got tired late on at Cheltenham last weekend when losing a shoe; each-way chance. |

Stayed on from off the pace for third over C&D (soft) last December and came second in cross-country chase on Bank course at Punchestown festival (3m, soft) on latest outing in May; 8lb out of weights today and would appeal more on slower ground but still considered each-way. |

Won 2m5f/3m handicap hurdles last year and in good form when last seen in May, runner-up in 3m Tipperary hurdle and Kilbeggan beginners chase; has form on soft so won't mind rain. |

Won a 2m4f beginners' chase here in 2024; lightly raced since and was tailed off here last month following a long stretch on the sidelines; hard to enthuse over after that and cheekpieces are now fitted. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

Scored at this venue on his chase debut in October 2024; soundly beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Naas before out of the money at Leopardstown; missed all of 2025; could feature for top local and stable if fit and ready after long layoff. |

Maiden in all spheres after 33 starts, but was second at Downpatrick on penultimate (3m, good), 0.5l behind Fr Gilligansvoyge; sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford last time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; in the mix on his Downpatrick run, but his record is a concern. |

Placed form this time last year was on softer ground and recent runs haven't been encouraging; interestingly, was well backed into favourite when well beaten at Fairyhouse on penultimate start so keep a close eye on the betting. |
