12st 3lb |
Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here. |

12st 0lb |
Useful track performer at best with 3-4 record in points since last October; capable of better than he showed when fourth in a hunter chase run at Thurles in January; subsequently beat record-breaking pointer Winged Leader at Nenagh, with Whacker Clan a distant third; sights lowered after Cheltenham Festival bid. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 7lb |
Capable handicap hurdler back in the day and has won over hurdles and fences here; couldn't cut it in novice company after chase debut win here in 2024 (after longer layoff); nice run on the Flat when last seen in August and, given his track record, this race may have been the plan for a while. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Five-time winner (four over hurdles and one chasing); last win was in a beginners' at Ballinrobe last year (2m1f, yielding); form dipped markedly in two runs at the end of that summer and he was never involved when pulled up in a novice handicap chase back from a 223-day absence at Wexford in April; questions to answer based on form but his hurdles rating puts him in the thick of things. |

10st 8lb |
Won two bumpers, one of them at this venue; useful 129-rated hurdler; won on chase debut at Galway over an extended 2m6f trip; made a bad mistake three out when remote fourth at Killarney; similar error two out ended her chance of beating the favourite in a mares' event at Listowel. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y |
11st 1lb |
Has only won on goodish ground but seems effective on softer (rain forecast); solid second to My Gaffer from well off the pace after a break at Killarney and now better off at the weights with that rival; firmly in the mix. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second for Micheal Keady here (2m4f, good) just under a year ago but both subsequent runs for Sara Bradstock were disappointing and he was well beaten in Cheltenham Festival cross-country chase on stable debut in March; now sports cheekpieces; needs to get career back on track. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Very useful handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2024 and placed for Michael Keady last spring (2m4f, good) but absent since pulled up for Sara Bradstock in September (bled from the nose); now with another new stable for cross-country debut; 4lb wrong; best to look elsewhere. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Temptingly treated on the best of his form for Willie Mullins; had two runs for Michael Keady, outclassed in the Grand National but then runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); ran well for a long way in Market Rasen's Summer Plate (2m5f) on debut for current yard and this trip is a better fit; respected. |
