28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Dual Grade 2 chase scorer and 2023 Galway Plate winner; has only a maiden win to his name from seven starts over hurdles and was beaten at odds-on at Punchestown last June on his only start in this discipline last season; ran in good company over fences at Killarney 16 days ago; well suited by the race conditions and will be hard to beat if jumping adequately. |

Dual Grade 2 winner in addition to a score in the 2023 Galway Plate plus he won this race last year; hasn't had much racing since but has been mostly below form; didn't jump that well at Aintree over the 'big' fences last time; needs best. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Won this race last year off a mark of 144; well-held second over hurdles at Clonmel last December before being given a break; returned with a hurdles run at Galway; pulled up in the Kerry National; one of four runners for Eric McNamara who also won this in 2024; only 2lb higher than 12 months ago, very capable 7lb-claiming amateur on board. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Third in last year's renewal before winning the Munster National at Limerick off a mark of 144 last October; well-held second over hurdles at Clonmel last December before being given a break; should be sharper now as a result of a recent hurdles start at Galway; one of four runners for Eric McNamara who won this race three times between 2007 and 2012. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 129y |

11yo landed the Munster National at Limerick off a mark of 144 last October and likely to be targeted at that race again; well held second over hurdles when last seen at Clonmel in December and may need this run after a 279 day break. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Tends to come good when faced with drier ground and was an excellent fourth in the Topham at Aintree, a race he won the previous year; joint top-rated here and clearly a strong candidate. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who hasn't been at his best this season but it was the same story last term prior to him winning this race (good to soft); he's just 3lb higher than 12 months ago and is capable of playing another leading role. |
15/2 |

3rd 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 66y |
11st 3lb |
A dual Grade 1 winner over 2m earlier in his career; put up a fine weight-carrying performance to win the Topham Trophy (2m5f) at Aintree last April, and not far off Appreciate It when fourth in the Oaksey Chase; beaten a long way at Clonmel on return and fared no better at Tramore; may show a revival. |
