11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Third in a Listed handicap over 2m6f at Galway (good) last summer; didn't enjoy much luck on next two starts (still in the lead when falling two out at Haydock in February) but he was well held in a big-field 2m5f handicap at Cheltenham last month; the cheekpieces worn on that occasion are discarded; still not fully exposed, particularly at 3m. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
His four handicaps were over longer trips, notably when third at the Galway festival (extended 2m6f, good) last August; hampered and pulled up here in October, before falling in a narrow lead two out in 3m Pertemps qualifier at Haydock (20-1) last month; needs improvement and better luck but represents Willie Mullins and is far from fully exposed; first-time headgear too. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Kept on well for third in Listed handicap hurdle at the Galway festival (2m6f, good) in August; looked to be going okay when hampered soon after three out and pulled up sharply in a similar race to this at Cheltenham in October; off since; this soft-ground winner remains fairly unexposed for his top Irish stable. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles; heavy ground a valid excuse on latest and is 4lb lower than when a 9l runner up in a much stronger race than this at Cork (17.5f, good) in October; has run well here before and he's a player. |

Promise on debut in a Wexford maiden hurdle but well-beaten in two subsequent starts, including when jumping poorly over 2m2f at this venue; beaten 16l when fourth in a Punchestown bumper in October; off since and probably best watched upped in trip. |

Dual-purpose maiden; makes his handicap hurdle debut after three ordinary efforts in maiden company at 2m-2m3f; potential improver but not obviously well treated; still worth a market check. |

0-5 over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in Ireland; changed hands for £1,000 after finishing last in five-runner Sligo claimer (2m2f) last month; upped in trip for stable/handicap debut; others have much less to prove. |
