16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice last year before losing his form in that sphere; got off the mark on third chase start when an easy winner at Kilbeggan last time over 2m6f; penalised 6lb for that but should still be difficult to beat even dropping in trip. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 142 over hurdles; seventh in the 2024 Supreme Novices' Hurdle; 8l second behind The Yellow Clay in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Naas in January 2025 (2m4f, soft); pulled up in two following hurdle starts at Grade 1 level; form of his two chase starts bears little relation to his best hurdles form. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
11st 10lb |
Decisive winner of handicap chase at Wexford (25.5f, good) last July off 4lb lower; pulled up both starts since returning from a break, in the Ulster National and over the banks at Punchestown; this more suitable but others arrive in better form. |

Stays well, won a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe two seasons ago; won a chase on good ground at Wexford last summer; pulled up in the Ulster National a month ago on first run since a 12l second at the Listowel festival; first attempt at this course. |

Stays well and handled yielding-to-soft when winning a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe two seasons ago; however, seems best on a sound surface; won on good ground at Wexford last summer; absent since a 12l second at the Listowel festival. |

Not fully exposed after only seven starts but was pulled up on consecutive appearances for this new stable in February (2m4f/2m7f) and returns from 196-day break with lots to prove. |

Lightly raced ex-Irish gelding who was outclassed in a maiden on final run last summer but pulled up in a handicap before that; looks on a harsh mark. |

Sole success at Listowel (2m6f, soft) in September 2024 off 7lb lower; only run four times since, all handicap chases, and off the track since a 31l defeat at Killarney in July 2025; has ability but might need this run. |
