10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Second in a C&D handicap chase last year; very solid efforts in Listed contests at Leopardstown and Punchestown before a disappointing effort in the Mayo National; a definite player if he comes back to his previous form. |
14/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 9lb |
Just 1-17 over fences and that 3m1f victory at Kilbeggan was in 2024; beaten a head at Limerick last year and a neck in Listed contest at Leopardstown in March, and has crept up the ratings as a result; another decent effort at Punchestown last time when Cobden got to know him. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |

Sole chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024 but career-best on latest when just failing to get up in 2m6f Leopardstown handicap in March (yielding-to-soft), his first run since August; should go well. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |
11st 2lb |
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024, but bounced back over 3m2f here (good) last time in first-time blinkers when runner-up after idling when leading (1.75l ahead of Je Suis); form of that race is questionable, but he has a notably low hurdles mark if he can repeat that effort. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y |

Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024 and is hard to fancy on recent poor hurdle runs; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Much better chaser, winning 3m4f Cork National last season (good); holds a whopping 30lb lower hurdles mark but unable to capitalise on it in three runs over timber this season; must be kept in mind considering his mark. |

Prolific winner whose last track win came over this trip at Kilbeggan two years ago off 127; won a point-to-point last season and wasn't disgraced back hurdling at Galway latest, staying on late over 3m (good); drops in grade here. |

23rd May 2025 Good 3m 4f 165y |

Winner of 11 races under rules; won a point in March but never travelling when pulled up at Tattersalls in April; set a huge task in the championship event at Punchestown, always at the back, unseated three out. |

11st 6lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in 2023 and is 1-10 over fences; hasn't had much racing in the last two years but ran two fine races in valuable Cheltenham handicaps last winter; not as good after wind surgery in the Ultima handicap last time; player if at best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't jump well when 16l fifth to Myretown in this race last March (good to soft); solid course record otherwise and he twice made the frame here (3m1f/3m2f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year; has had a wind operation since and he's an each-way candidate if jumping better than 12 months ago. |
20/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Perhaps unfortunate not to win this 12 months ago and returned in March with a highly commendable fifth in the Ultima given that his jumping was a major hindrance (had fallen the time before); simply never gave his running at Punchestown on final start; if he can find any fluency over his fences he'd be a danger to all; stable has won the last two editions of this. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 5lb |
5-46 over fences, including three over C&D; is 1lb lower than when scoring here in September and took a step in the right direction when fifth over C&D on latest (behind Milan Forth); can't be discounted given his affinity for this venue. |
18/1 |

5th 6 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 6lb |
A Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler in his younger days, far from the force of old but still well capable; latest win came in handicap chase over C&D in September; down the field at Leopardstown and in veterans' event at Wexford last twice; dropped 3lb; 3-6 at this track and each-way player. |

Fine servant won a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle and most recent successes came in 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap chases last year; penultimate Thurles fourth his best recent effort, stamina test probably beyond him in valuable 2m6f Leopardstown handicap latest; more suitable trip/ground here and drops in grade. |

Two-time chase winner, winless since November 2023; had been running poorly but ran better when beaten 10l into fourth at Limerick 16 days ago in first-time cheekpieces having been hampered two out; they're left on now and he's on a nice mark if he can build on that. |

Former C&D winner won at Down Royal off a mark of 109 in May; below par at Roscommon off 5lb higher subsequently and then pulled up here two weeks ago; hard to fancy after that effort and may need to drop back down the weights. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 110y |

Nicely on top over 3m2f at Down Royal (good; 5lb lower) but her jumping didn't really stand the test in Roscommon's Connacht National; each-way claims if finding greater fluency this afternoon. |
