10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Better over fences; stays 2m5f; had wind surgery prior to the latest Cheltenham Festival (2m, good) where he very nearly recorded a second success in the Grand Annual; not guaranteed to transfer the form back to hurdles but he is attractively treated off a much lower mark in this sphere. |
9/1 |

2nd 8 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
8lb higher than when winning this last year (good to soft) and his subsequent form (chiefly over hurdles) hasn't been at the same level; however, he's had a wind op since last time and his 2-2 record at the Cheltenham Festival (also won the Fred Winter in 2023) means he's firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 168y |
11st 11lb |
Five-time winner, including wins in the Fred Winter and last season's Grand Annual; generally below since, beaten 26l in the Galway Plate; respectable effort back over hurdles at Cheltenham last time when a 12.5l fifth of 20; took the runner-up spot in this race last year from 1lb lower, so not ruled out. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Won a beginners' chase over C&D (good) in August 2024; dual-purpose sort has failed to add to his tally since and he is best on good ground; fit from the Flat but needs the track to dry out. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Three-time Flat winner; had a run in a novice chase before competing from out of the handicap at Naas on return to the Flat; this is a more realistic task, but trainer may have a better chance with Cleopatra's Needle. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Three-time Flat winner; had a recent run in a novice chase but all of his best form in both codes is on good ground and he's 8lb wrong here; yard has stronger contender with Grann's Boy. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 5lb |
Mixes chasing with hurdling and has run well here over flights; won a couple of handicap chases in 2024 but held in four starts over the larger obstacles since, including on first start of the year at Wexford last month; second over hurdles since and has dropped below latest winning chase mark. |

2nd 3 |
11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 9lb |
Dual chase winner with three hurdle wins on the board; beaten 17l over fences on last month's return from a lengthy break but might strip fitter here and Kennedy is booked. |
10/1 |

6th 6 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 11lb |
Won over fences last season, over C&D (good) and on soft at Punchestown (2m6f) off this mark; form earlier this season not so good, absent since never counting in Munster National in October; noteworthy jockey booking on return to action. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 70y |
11st 6lb |
Course novice hurdle winner; hampered on two occasions when pulled up on Limerick return in May; lying second when falling two out here two weeks ago, worth considering in a weak race. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 110y |
12st 0lb |
Novice hurdle winner here (3m) who went up 8lb for 2m6f Fairyhouse lady riders chase win in November (yielding); jumping issues when fifth of 17 to Sequestered at Leopardstown in December; hampered on two occasions (by left-jumping Ceroc) when pulled up on Limerick return in May so that run probably forgiven. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences when easy winner of 2m4f Limerick Listed handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy); out of frame in competitive Leopardstown handicaps twice since, most recently running well for long way and may have got a bit closer but for mistake last; drops in grade, one to consider. |
9/2 |

6th 8 |
2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
10st 6lb |
Three hurdle wins include at this track; off the mark over fences when easy winner of 2m4f Limerick Listed handicap at Christmas (soft-to-heavy) but didn't appear to quite get home over this C&D in Grade Leopardstown Chase last month off 7lb higher mark; not one to dismiss all the same. |
10/1 |

7th 15 |
1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |
10st 5lb |
Three hurdle wins including at this track; got off the mark over fences when an easy winner of a Limerick Listed chase last time; a 7lb rise looks manageable and handles the ground, so a player. |

Maiden posted a decent effort when was beaten 8l over C&D last time; down 2lb and can be involved. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y |

Maiden has yet to really make an impact in handicap chases; fifth and fourth the last twice but beaten 18l and 28l respectively; down another 2lb but might need a little bit more respite from the handicapper. |

7th Aug 2024 Good 2m 3f 130y |

Weak form over hurdles (rated 85); has struggled in his first two runs over fences; no appeal on first outing since last November. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdles winner was poor at Wexford in April off 4lb higher (2m4f, good to yielding) but rebounded over fences back there last time when a distant second of 11 (3m2f, good to yielding); can't be ruled out but others are more appealing. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Is yet to win over fences but has posted plenty of good runs including here; however, he was poor over hurdles last time (also here) and has to rebound. |
12/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Has won twice over hurdles, including here over 3m, but losing run mounting and was pulled up in a Clonmel novices' handicap chase on latest; others arrive in better form. |
