31st May 2026 Good 1m 5f 80y |
11st 5lb |
Good dual-purpose performer and did well in amateur-rider contests in the autumn, winning over 2m at Clonmel and placed twice over 1m4f at the Curragh; fair bit to find with a couple of these; first ride for jockey. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Irish 7yo whose broadly progressive form switched to chasing this season features a comfortable win at Roscommon (sole attempt over 3m1f; good) in the summer and good second in Thurles handicap (2m5f, yielding) last time; still reasonably unexposed and looks interesting back up in distance. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 |
18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
11st 11lb |
Winning pointer and twice successful over hurdles for Pat Doyle; took third behind subsequent Galway Plate winner Western Fold on chasing debut before comfortably justifying favouritism next time at Roscommon (3m1f, good); made stable debut back from a break in a five-runner novice event at Fairyhouse last time when a distant fourth (2m5f, soft); shaped as though he would come on for the run that day. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 24y |

Winning pointer who won twice over hurdles, including a 3l defeat of Heroes Rise at Thurles in December; matched that RPR when third on recent chase debut; good chance. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 since winning on chase debut last February; below par at Fairyhouse in November last time but the yielding to soft ground provides an excuse; good runs at Roscommon (2m, good to yielding) and Ascot (2m1f, good) previously in the autumn and he goes well fresh; has an each-way shout. |
25/1 |

3rd 4 |
1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Already a better chaser than hurdler and it was a commendable effort at the weights when runner-up in a Grade 3 novice at Roscommon a month ago (2m, good to yielding); has scope for further progress and in-form Irish stable always respected on British forays. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

Is 1-25 on Flat, placed seven times; belatedly off the mark (at the 23rd attempt) in a 1m7f handicap at Leopardstown last month, down the field in two staying handicaps since then. |

Got off the mark on his 23rd start in an amateur riders' event over 1m7f at Leopardstown last time; given a clever ride from the front that day but unlikely to get it all his own way today. |

Two turf wins in Britain in 2022 for Roger Varian at 1m/1m1f; a long way best in two runs for Varian last season after a long absence; struggled in two maiden hurdles for current trainer; failed to stay 2m in a rated race here 12 days ago; this trip should suit better, but he faces a tough task against in-form rivals. |
