Point winner didn't score over hurdles but was a beginners' chase winner last summer and a decent handicap run next time; needs to be ready back after a break. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate and both wins were in Ireland; mostly consistent in small-field chases this season and the return of blinkers is a probable plus after trying a visor last time; has been running over shorter but stays this far; versatile ground-wise. |
5/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two Irish hurdle wins in 2021 but consistent in small-field chases this season, with best run arguably his second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; swaps usual blinkers for first-time visor; will probably be on the premises again. |

Won on soft ground in Ireland; 0-6 over fences but back in good form of late, albeit in tiny fields; not the easiest to win with but has claims. |

In good form mostly over hurdles during winter, winning at Navan and a decent effort last time; was pulled-up on last chase start in the Cork National, though, and this trip looks on the sharp side. |

Chase winner bagged his second hurdling success over C&D in December off 109 at 40-1 (2m4f, soft to heavy); decent showing at Limerick next time when seventh, but his latest Gowran run was poor (2m4f, heavy). |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 0y |

Chase winner over 3m2f on good ground at Down Royal in May; Kilbeggan run six days later may have come too soon for him; should be sharper as a result of recent hurdles run at Punchestown. |

Ex-Irish 8yo; ran okay on last season's stable debut but has been out of form this term and it takes a big leap of faith to support her here. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |

Won over extended 2m5f last year and was leading when exiting two out on his next start; hasn't been finishing out his races lately and not sure this longer trip will help matters. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |

Won this race last year with plenty to spare under this rider; three failures to complete since then make him a risky proposition; however, not badly handicapped if he can put in an error-free round. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Fourth in a handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival of 2022 but has lost his way over hurdles and fences; opposable right now. |

4th Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Formerly useful but regressive over both types of obstacle last year; mild promise latest when 20l fourth at Listowel but held by Ballywilliam Boy on that form. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Has become bitterly disappointing given that only two years ago he finished fourth to Banbridge in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile and, now a 9yo, it won't be easy to turn things around. |

10st 2lb |
Belatedly off the mark at Thurles in February in an amateur handicap chase (soft to heavy), winning going away on only his third run over fences; reverts to hurdles after pulled up at Limerick last time and record of 0-21 is off-putting. |
9/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |

Belatedly off the mark over just shy of this trip at Thurles last month under hold-up ride in beating Nolans Rocco in amateur handicap chase (soft-to-heavy), winning going away on only his third run over fences; more needed to confirm that form but possible. |

Three-time winner over hurdles for Peter Fahey; 0-9 in chases but promising effort at Listowel in a much stronger race than this last time out (17.5f, good) and in off the same mark here; big chance on that form and he has run well on testing ground before; claims. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 150y |

9th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 160y |

3rd Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
2m3f hurdle winner when trained by Henry de Bromhead, for whom she fell on her two starts over fences; changed hands for £7,000 in July and will need some improvement to defy this mark on her debut for this trainer. |

Showed promise when third at Punchestown last October in her first handicap hurdle; returned from a winter break with a convincing win (off a modest 94) in a 2m3f handicap at Clonmel in May; sent straight over fences now after disappointing Downpatrick run. |
