3rd 1 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding. |

12th 13 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this return to further; furthermore, he suffered a heavy defeat at the Cheltenham Festival most recently and this is another difficult task. |
66/1 |

21th 20 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Front-runner; convincing Newbury win (2m) under Daire McConville in November before 11l third off this 10lb higher mark behind two well-handicapped rivals at Doncaster (2m, good to soft again) in December; off since; needs better. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-11 over hurdles and rated 132; has lost his way since fine second in the Plate at Cheltenham in 2025; pulled up in Leopardstown chase when last seen in February; revival needed. |
10/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
11st 0lb |
Record of 1-13 over fences but has been placed plenty, notably when second to Jagwar in the Plate at Cheltenham last term; hasn't been as good since and was well beaten over hurdles here last time; yard back in form, though, so not ruled out. |
18/1 |

6th 8 |
24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 180y |

Record of 1-9 over fences for previous yard; ran well over hurdles when making debut for this yard at Navan in January; strong in the betting when runner-up to Jagwar in the Plate at Cheltenham; ran over hurdles at Punchestown festival; failed to show his best form in the Galway Plate. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 16 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
1st 9 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Only 2-24 over fences but good to see him follow his Wetherby win on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) with a similar performance in defeat the following month; does have his share of off days but couldn't rule him out. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 6lb |
Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |

Dual bumper and hurdles winner for Peter Fahey but not as good a chaser last season; changed yards and reverts to hurdles off reduced mark and goes well fresh. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |

Got his head back in front over timber at Fairyhouse in April; struggled on the level since and yet to show enough in five starts over fences to suggest he can defy this mark. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 0lb |
Dual-purpose veteran won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April on soft to heavy; last of 8 on first run since on the level at Tramore (2m, good); is 4lb lower than last Flat success but softer ground would be preferable. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Four hurdle starts were in the second half of 2023; moderate form then, and also in points and over fences in 2024; much-improved last year, winning a point and back-to-back handicaps over fences, both over staying trips; this distance looks inadequate; stable's current form is a positive. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Has found some form this year, getting off the mark in a point before staying on best to win at Limerick last time out; runner-up has boosted the form since and there's nothing wrong with a 5lb rise. |

Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |
