29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
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. |

Dual hurdle winner was second in a Grade 3 in that sphere; soundly beaten on all completed chase starts including a 2m1f handicap here last time; others preferred. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Won a bumper at the festival here in 2023; also took a 2m4f novice hurdle here last October; only subsequent run last season was in a Grade 2 event at Navan last December; should be sharper now than when outpointed by 143-rated hurdler King Of Kinsgfield over C&D on chasing debut. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Won a bumper at this meeting in 2023 and got off the mark over hurdles at Sligo last summer before taking a 2m4f novice back here; below that form in a Navan Grade 2 when last seen; however, goes well fresh and is the choice of Paul Townend from the stable's three so greatly respected on chasing debut. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Dual hurdles winner last year at about 2m4f; appeared to be getting the hang of things over fences with a 1l third at the Galway festival (2m6f, good) where What's Up Darling was 1.5l behind off level weights; avoids a penalty and a repeat of his latest effort should see him in the mix. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Followed up Punchestown maiden hurdle win with a novice success here last year (2m4f, good); out of form since; modest improvement upon chase debut to finish a 9.75l fourth of six at Wexford last time (2m3f, good); the return to this track needs to spark something. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 130y |
11st 7lb |
One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
One of two for trainer; bumper/dual winning hurdler; returned from almost a year off when well beaten on Flat in February; more promise in 10l fifth over hurdles at Navan (2m, soft); didn't build on that at Bellewstown last time. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Bumper and dual winning hurdler; came back from almost a year off the track when well beaten in a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February; more promise in her 10l fifth of 12 at Navan last month (2m, soft); more needed with cheekpieces added to the tongue tie. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since including in her two runs at Fairyhouse last month over 2m4f on heavy ground in which she finished third both times; tired in the closing stages last time, slightly shorter trip may help. |

Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since; still in contention when fell last at Thurles next time; 2m6f looked beyond her when fourth at Punchestown; solid third over C&D last time (heavy); place chance. |
