11st 11lb |
Well beaten on latest hurdling start in April and has performed well in only one of his four subsequent chases, when second in Kilbeggan beginners' event (2m4f, yielding) two starts ago; ought to be suited by today's move back up in trip but has some questions to answer. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount. |
10/1 |

9th 13 |
2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 6lb |
Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added. |
25/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 8lb |
Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip. |

0-8 under rules; best run when hitting the crossbar in a Cork bumper in October 2024; shown ability since but has a fair bit to find in this. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Best run when second in a bumper at this track last October; burst blood vessels when pulled-up in a Listowel maiden hurdle last time, so best watched for now. |

Beaten in five bumpers but was runner-up in one of those at Cork and ran okay there on hurdling debut when perhaps stretched by 3m; each-way claims. |

Sixth foal; half-brother to point and useful 2m/2m3f hurdle winner Timesremembered; dam maiden half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Joes Dante and 2m6f hurdle winner Native Toome; homebred has to command maximum respect from yard that dominates these races. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |

Is useful on his day as when beating some decent sorts in a Fairyhouse conditions hurdle in November; best run since when beaten 10l in a 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap last time; this trip is a query. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 9lb |
Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Took the scalps of Air Of Entitlement and Bacchanalian when scoring in a four-runner rated race over C&D (sft-hvy) in November; no show in handicaps twice since and failed to complete at Navan last time; eased 3lb and return to this track a plus but needs to rebound. |

11st 5lb |
7yo who has been beaten 24l or more in his five starts including three over hurdles; this is more realistic on handicap debut but he's taken a strong hold in his last two starts and he needs improvement with hood added. |

It wasn't a desperate run when beaten 24l behind a useful horse in a Tramore maiden hurdle in October (yielding); new trainer fits new headgear and lowers this 7yo's sights. |

10st 9lb |
Didn't hang around long over hurdles and solid form in first season over fences; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding) last month; hasn't raced beyond 2m4f but good chance if he stays (dam won hurdle over 2m4f). |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Has taken well to chasing this term, winning a 2m2f Clonmel beginners' (heavy) and good late headway for fourth behind Romeo Coolio in a Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m1f, yielding) over Christmas; good attitude when runner-up in a Down Royal novice chase in January (2m1f, yielding to soft); okay run when fifth in a Listed Naas handicap (2m4f, heavy) when last seen. |

Has some useful form over hurdles and on the Flat, though has been tailed off in both disciplines since returning from a break of 72 days; if back on song, he would have a part to play in this company on chase debut. |

1-7 over hurdles after scoring at Kilbeggan in September (2m, good to yielding) and running some decent races in defeat subsequently, including when just 2l behind winner on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding); yet to win from 10 Flat starts and his tailed-off finish at the Curragh last time doesn't enthuse. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Started off for new stable in excellent form in the autumn, winning at Kelso (2m6f, good) before big-field second at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft), but his progress has stalled a bit since; needs combination of last month's wind op and first-time tongue-tie to have positive effect. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Made it 2-2 here on stable debut in October (2m6f, good) and close second of 18 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) next time; hasn't run badly on either starts since and this lightly raced 6yo could benefit from the return to Kelso, but a career-best is needed and the drop to 2m isn't an obvious plus. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner at Kelso, most recently in October (2m6.5f, good) on yard debut; followed that with a 1l defeat at Cheltenham (soft) in November before finishing a perfectly acceptable eighth of ten in a Class 2 there last month (3m); now back in trip but should give another good account. |
