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. |

11st 10lb |
Has won three points and a hunter chase; best run since joining this yard when close second in Killarney hunter chase last May; big run after short break when fourth at Limerick last month in the mud; can go well from same mark. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 35y |

Second in a Killarney hunter chase in May but was well below that form in a similar race at Listowel since so needs to bounce back in a handicap. |

Three point wins and won a Cork maiden hunter chase in 2023; close second to Bartlemy Boy in a Killarney hunter chase last time over 2m7f, staying on; 4lb better off today and extra furlong should help; big player. |

Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Prospered after second to Western Fold on chase debut at Tipperary last May; hat-trick included small-field 3m Grade 2s at this venue and Navan; took time to warm up and left with plenty to do in the Brown Advisory, made late progress to finish fourth behind Kitzbuhel; towards the back when unseated at the 15th (Chair) in the Grand National. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
A first-season novice won the 2022 Grand National when unraced beyond 3m1f and this Irish challenger (who's one year older) bids to repeat the feat; hat-trick this season included two small-field Grade 2s and when his winning sequence came to an end it was in the Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival, where some slow jumping in the early stages left him with plenty to do but he made late inroads to finish fourth; he still looks capable of better and the longer trip could suit. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive over fences, winning soft-ground 3m Grade 2s at Punchestown in November (beat Koktail Divin) and Navan in February (by 6l from The Wallpark) on his last two starts; has a better chance on form for his two-horse trainer than double-figure odds suggest; one to consider each-way. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Won this last year off 121 (yielding-to-soft) and and enjoying a fine season back hurdling, winning two handicaps at Punchestown on good-to-yielding and yielding; out of depth at Leopardstown early this month but top-weight has to be respected back chasing in repeat bid. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season, winning two handicap hurdles at Punchestown, over 2m4f (good to yielding) in October and 2m3f (yielding) in December; beaten 24l off 127 at Fairyhouse last time (2m4f, heavy); would receive 27lb from El Fabiolo in a handicap rather than 5lb here. |

2nd 2 |
21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
11st 5lb |
Enjoying a fine season and has won twice at Punchestown this term, over 2m4f (gd-yld) in October and 2m3f (yielding) on latest in December (6lb rise for that); will need a career best to go in again and he might prefer a sounder surface. |
