20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Last of two wins came here over 1m1f last summer off 74; seasonal-best came over same C&D a fortnight ago when strong-finishing third (from a wide draw) of 22 to Bella Colombia (fourth has won since); nice turn around in weights with that rival here and cheekpieces added; should go well. |

3rd 1 (25) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Has now slipped to 2lb below her last winning mark (which came over C&D) and her last run here over 1m was a step in the right direction; tough draw to overcome but not discounted. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |
10st 13lb |
Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and had a massive payday in last season's Irish Cesarewitch; down the field in three big handicap hurdles between late November and April; not much luck when unplaced favourite for the Chester Cup; flopped when well-fancied for the Ascot Stakes; questions to answer but could not be ruled out. |
7/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and took a huge prize for Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) last September, in the latter bursting clear 1f out and scoring with considerably more authority than the margin suggests; underwhelming over hurdles before last month's Chester Cup, in which he also had the widest draw, but he started favourite nevertheless and made some headway from the back to finish seventh of 15; he didn't have the rub of the green that day and is shortlisted even though connections also now resort to headgear. |
6/1 |

7th 10 (17) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
One of three for Joseph O'Brien; won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and also took a huge prize for last September's Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding); underwhelming in his three handicap hurdles in November-April, which is a concern, as is today's widest stall, but his Curragh win (bursting clear 1f out) was delivered with considerably more authority than the winning margin suggests; respected. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

Inconsistent this year; 1-17 record is a negative; on the plus side, he has tended to show his best form at this venue, runner-up here on three occasions. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |
9st 9lb |
Won over 7f here last summer for Jack Davison off 73 and good run six days later over today's C&D; two good runs this term in Leopardstown handicaps but too keen on latest in premier handicap at same venue; slow-starter at times. |

No wins since debut in 2023 but was running well in defeat on AW through the winter; looks up against it on these terms though. |

7th Oct 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y |
9st 2lb |
A winner off 59 at Gowran Park in June; went up 8lb for that and has struggled in two handicaps since; 2l behind Tanazadia in a rated race at Tramore on penultimate and 11lb better off with her here; poor latest but return to softer ground will suit and she could go well at a price. |

Beaten around 6l both handicap starts this year; didn't get home over a little shorter at Limerick but better ground may help and he's down in grade. |

16th May 2024 Soft To Heavy 0m 6f 150y |

Not beaten far on his return to action at Navan last month; step up in trip will suit but needs to find a bit more to be involved. |

Last year's Leopardstown win came off 65; good recent runs both there and at Naas, although has tended to hang each time; definite player. |

2nd 4 (2) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Won off 4lb lower last year; hinted at a return to form at Leopardstown on penultimate but jockey reported he stopped quickly back there on latest; may need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

9th 2 (19) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last season; ran on well for a close fourth here on latest over 1m2f; not the kindest of draws, but should be staying on at the finish. |
