3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut; stable appears to have two stronger contenders. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; below best in two runs since but goes well fresh, handles heavy ground and his yard won this last year; can't discount. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Five-time winner; has shown good form at Galway, winning twice, including a 1m6f conditions event at this year's festival; soundly beaten at Listowel; fair prospect at these weights but unplaced in six Curragh outings. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 154y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer although hasn't won since taking 3m1f Kilbeggan conditions hurdle last summer; two recent runs under his belt could give him a fitness edge but lots to find on ratings with Hewick. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 129y |
11st 6lb |
Eight-time winner, including four over hurdles; disappointed on the Flat at Killarney on return from 314-days off; should strip fitter now and handles soft but the majority of his best form has come on good ground; not discounted, especially if the track dries out. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Won the 2022 Cesarwitch at Newmarket and last seen finishing fourth in the same race last October; the one to beat on these terms, provided he's ready to rock after his absence. |

26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Big chance on best 2023 efforts for Roger Varian but he did not shine last year (hurdles/Flat) for Emmet Mullins; 8,500gns buy in September and heavily beaten at 100-1 in a hot AW handicap (2m; first-time visor) in April; others are more solid at present. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return. |
16/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Top rated at 98 and mostly in good form this season; beaten 1.75l when second in a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap on latest in July; placed in listed company at Chester (12.5f soft) a year ago but this trip surely on the sharp side; fifth 4.20 here on Monday. |
11/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
9st 13lb |
Four-time winner but last win came two years ago; however, went close at Ballinrobe last time when stepped back up in trip to 1m5f and many of his better efforts have come on softer ground so this should be up his alley; interesting. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins in small-field novice events last April-June; not beaten far when ninth of 28 in valuable Leopardstown handicap won by Favori De Champdou over Christmas (3m, yielding; wore usual cheekpieces) and seemed to be running well when falling at third-last fence in the Thyestes at Gowran (3m1f, heavy; blinkered) in January; has stamina to prove on cross-country debut but not ruled out; cheekpieces back on today. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Smart hurdler in his early days; all three chase wins recorded in small-field events between April and June last year; failed to prosper in Grade 3 events before livelier displays at Cheltenham and when fifth behind Answer To Kayf in the Troytown; no impact in the Grade 1 Drinmore at Fairhouse; no threat from the last when ninth in the Paddy Power. |
33/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Hit the ground running over fences with three wins in small fields (2m4f-2m7f) but now on a recovery mission after three blips, admittedly at Grade 3 level; would be a strong contender on these terms if back on song. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Durable veteran who won twice on the AW early this year; however, he was soundly beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday and faces some unexposed rivals on his return to turf. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Snapped a losing sequence at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January before close third at Wolverhampton (2m), and returned to winning ways at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) latest; this 9yo is in a more competitive race today but there remains mileage in his mark judged on his old form; might not be far away. |
14/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Still very useful at the age of nine, getting his head back in front at Southwell (1m4f) on New Year's Day; split reopposing pair Roaring Legend and Brasil Power when creditable third of six over 2m at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he has yet to win over this trip. |

Flat winner in UK in 2021; has missed plenty of time since then; soundly beaten on handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan and outclassed on the Flat at Galway since; others preferred. |
