19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Won a beginners' chase over C&D (good) in August 2024; dual-purpose sort has failed to add to his tally since and he is best on good ground; fit from the Flat but needs the track to dry out. |

8st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner; had a run in a novice chase before competing from out of the handicap at Naas on return to the Flat; this is a more realistic task, but trainer may have a better chance with Cleopatra's Needle. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
10st 5lb |
A record of 1-29 over fences but has been placed lots of times including at Limerick and Wexford the last twice; needs to do more but shouldn't be far away off an unchanged mark. |
12/1 |

2nd 15 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; comes here in decent form though, most recently second to Krabat in 2m4f Limerick handicap last month after a break, having every chance; better ground here could see him turn the tables on that rival (1lb wrong). |
13/2 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |
7/1 |

Bounced back to form with a bang at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) when defeating runner-up Coppola by 7.5l off a career low mark; hefty 10lb hit for that, but this three-time hurdles winner has won off a mark of 106 before; big player. |

Ex-Irish 14-race maiden under rules who has suffered four heavy defeats over fences for this yard, twice in a tongue-tie and once in cheekpieces; no aids today, which might be a straw to cling to, but he has a lot to prove. |
