4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase about this time last year before predictably struggling at lengthy odds in the feature hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree; badly let down by his jumping in calmer waters afterwards and this 11yo now has much to prove. |

14th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase in February before making no impact in the big hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree (behind when unseating); found no fluency and was well held when falling at Stratford (2m6f, good); comes with risks on the back of that effort but this is a modest contest. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Decent sort at his best, career-best performance when close second in last season's 2m5f Topham at Aintree; very lightly raced this season, most recently running well for long way in same event before fading from last; type who could go well here if taking to the banks (won only point-to-point). |
11/2 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Well below his best on both runs this season, the latest at Leopardstown in December; however, he produced a career-best performance when a close second in this 12 months ago (good to soft), pulling clear with Gentleman De Mee, and the return to Aintree could spark a revival; on the shortlist. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Better known as a chaser now and ran big race over the big Aintree fences in April (2m5f, good to soft); 1lb lower for this first hurdle run since May 2024 but this different test may not show him in quite the same light. |

25th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 200y |
10st 6lb |
Likes a stamina test, most recent win coming in 3m Listowel handicap hurdle over a year ago (soft) off 117; back from chasing when soundly beaten in repeat win attempt there last month so has it to prove now. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Reverts from chasing in a bid to repeat last year's win in this event; only 2lb higher; ground will suit him better than on recent chase starts; worth considering, though his much younger stablemate Bitofajokelike seems more appealing. |

On long losing run; pulled up on final start of last season and again on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in November; heavy defeat on his return from a 127-day break at Cork nine days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

No win since October 2023; pulled up on final start of last season over C&D (soft) and similar outcome on seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse in November; off since and best watched for now. |

20th Apr 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 80y |

1-14 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m7f in October 2023 off 109; bounced back to form when a 4.75l second on latest over C&D good ground; that wasn't his first good run here but the forecast rain is a worry, place chance again if it misses. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 12lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles (rated 144); did okay over fences last year and was fair third over 3m2f on his return to action at Killarney; stays 3m well, so this trip looks too short, plus he was disappointing when favourite for last year's Mayo National. |

Eight hurdle wins including once at this track; got off the mark over fences in a Kilbeggan beginners' last year before beaten 13l into third in this race; 2lb lower today but can go well fresh so could be involved. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |

Useful hurdler who gained last season's win on her reappearance outing at Ayr (3m, good); should be fine over this stiff 2m5f on her chasing debut but others in this field probably have more potential. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Useful sort for Gordon Elliott early in his career, finished a remote third behind Jonbon and El Fabiolo in a Grade 1 contest at Aintree in 2023; mostly campaigned in points for the last two years, below his best in four outings in that sphere since January. |
