1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 6lb |
Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in 2024 (2m1f, good) and returned from a 632-day absence when seventh on the Flat back at that venue last month; that is something to build on. |

Won maiden hurdle at this course in July 2024 before sixth on the Flat at Leopardstown same month; stable in good form and market will reveal expectations returning from 632 days off. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
10st 13lb |
3-14 over hurdles and rated 128; won a Clonmel beginners' chase on her penultimate start (15.5f, yld-sft); modest third in mares' listed hurdle at Killarney latest (2m1f, gd-yld); solid place chance on the figures but more needed to win. |
7/2 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner has landed three hurdle races, the latest of which came at Gowran in October in a conditions event (2m1f, soft); proved her health when winning her chasing debut at Clonmel last month; a small bit to find on ratings but by no means dismissed. |
11/4 |

1st 9 |
14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |
11st 5lb |
Chase debutante is rated 129 over hurdles; can race keenly at times but likes cut in the ground and her yard had a Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse last week; lacks a recent run but is one of the more likely ones here. |

Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |
16/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |

Took a big step in the right direction when a 4l second of 11 at Killarney (2m7f, yld-sft) last time; should stay this far and go well again off 2lb higher. |

Still a maiden after 22 starts over hurdles; hard to be confident against that background, although recent form is quite respectable. |

Maiden after 21 hurdle runs; not a bad run last time but needs to get back to his best and others appeal more. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 165y |

Now a 20 race maiden over hurdles; his run at Punchestown on New Year's Eve when a runner-up would give him a definite chance; however, he has been beaten by 26l+ in his last two runs. |

0-9 over hurdles but ran plenty of fine races in defeat last year; off since 4l second of 15 in a Bellewstown handicap off 116 last August; leading chance if he's fit for his return. |

12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat at best, 1m2f winner on good; respectable efforts in maiden hurdles here in April/May; hard to fancy on subsequent form; very poor run in first-time blinkers at Cartmel on latest, heavy ground may have been an issue. |

10st 12lb |
Showed nothing in his first five starts under rules but ran by far his best race when sixth of 13 at Wexford (3m, good to yielding) behind Bigira on handicap debut last month; that was his first try at this trip in this sphere and he might have been closer but for a jumping error three from home. |

10st 11lb |
Prevailed in a big field at Galway (2m6f, good) on chase debut but has failed to back up that form since and was particularly disappointing in October when bidding for a second win at the Cheltenham Showcase meeting; wears first-time headgear; less solid than others. |
50/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Reserve; won four times (once on good here) as a novice hurdler last season before pulling up at 14-1 in the 3m Grade 1 novice event here; won chase debut at the Galway festival (2m6f) last August but chase career has gone badly the wrong way since, latest start 11 days ago; returns to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; next to no exposure in handicaps but low on the list. |
50/1 |

Four-time hurdles winner with a liking for a sound surface and staying trips; had the going in his favour when making a winning chase debut over 2m6f at the Galway festival last August; disappointing when well fancied for a 3m1f contest at Cheltenham in October; unseated at the first at Musselburgh early this month. |
