10st 6lb |
Hurdles winner is 0-7 chasing, decent run in very valuable 2m6f Leopardstown Handicap at the DRF (soft) but never counted following month in Jack Richards Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham; others look more reliable. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Has inconsistent form since switched to chasing and two non-completions were caused by bad mistakes; fared best of the eight runners from his yard in competitive handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m5f) most recently but isn't certain to back up that effort. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
11st 2lb |
Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come. |

Runner-up on five occasions before trouncing The Mediator at Gowran early last month; the reopposing runner-up has since won a maiden in similar fashion; every chance he can feature in his first handicap. |

Has won a maiden hurdle and a novice chase; has looked a bit outclassed in Grade 3s in his last three races and a similar scenario seems likely in this company (well behind Jesse Evans last time). |

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

Dual-purpose; 1-13 over hurdles, the win coming in a Killarney handicap (2m1f, good) off 6lb lower in August; beaten 11l off revised mark at Listowel in September; okay run on the Flat at Thurles on latest; career best required off this mark. |

Is in the form of his career this year for a new yard; won a Roscommon Listed race on seasonal debut and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; his new rating of 112 looks debatable but a repeat of his best will make him difficult to beat. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |

Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix. |

One of two runners for yard; promising effort when second on sole start in point-to-points at Tralee; fresh and refused to settle when fading after racing prominently on first run for over two years in a 2m4f Listowel maiden hurdle 65 days ago; could improve for that run but will need to. |

Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |
