7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival; not a bad run at Fairyhouse after a break; however, Come On The Lads seems to be the yard's number one. |

Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival. best form over shorter than this and on better ground; lacks a recent run. |

10st 9lb |
Five wins and ten placed from 40 starts (2-20 over fences); disappointing since finishing fourth in a competitive Punchestown festival handicap, with several of these rivals behind him; finished behind Gaelic Arc (runner-up) at Killarney in July; remote sixth at the same venue last month when Gaelic Arc was pulled up. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Won over fences at Gowran and hurdles here in February but was below form over fences at Limerick since; has a lot to find against some of these rivals; due to run in the 6.42 at Limerick on Tuesday. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 200y |

Won over hurdles at Clonmel and fences at Gowran last month but disappointed here over fences last time so has to rebound; claims if he does. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
Winner here over hurdles and third chase win came in 2m2f Listowel handicap chase last September (off 116) after more than a year's absence; another good comeback run at Haydock in February, not so good at Kelso a fortnight later over shorter trip; this probably the limit of his stamina. |
10/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
12yo who has returned to his best this season, defying an absence to win at Listowel (2m1f, yielding to soft) in September before solid third at Haydock (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; the drop back in trip may well be a positive and he could be thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Made light of a 13-month absence when landing 2m1f handicap chase at Listowel in September; 11lb higher today but that form worked out well so this Irish challenger can't be totally dismissed after another layoff. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 10lb |
Veteran 4-time chase winner; ran with credit over timber at Sligo in July but lacklustre efforts twice, including back over fences last month; still above highest winning mark and easy to look elsewhere. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Veteran six-time winner; Veteran is rated 10lb lower than over fences; second at Sligo last time gives him a slight edge over Pahlavi; this looks like a stronger race. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Veteran gained his second win over fences, and fifth in all, in 2m4f handicap at Down Royal's Christmas meeting and most recently finished a good third in 3m4f Ulster National at Downpatrick; previous two runs over this course have been poor (pulled up in this last year). |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner added his second chasing win at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day when taking advantage of lower mark (2m4f, good to yielding); ran well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle prior to his win, but his most recent run here over hurdles was underwhelming when he went clear with one other and both weakened. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles; totally out of form over fences, pulled up on last three starts; blinkers tried now; main positive is that he has often run well at this venue, placed four times from seven visits, including twice last summer. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 195y |

Dual hurdles winner in 2022; two of three recent chase runs were here including faller in strong beginners; better form when fourth in Wexford beginners over this trip latest; handicap chase debut off 4lb higher than hurdles mark seems tough but unexposed. |
