3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Useful hurdler rated 125 but has been higher in the past; he was out of form but put that right with a narrow defeat of the classy Hiddenvalley Lake on his chase debut at Wexford in May (2m7f, good to yielding); taken seriously on the back of that effort. |

125-rated hurdler was in good form 2024/25 season, winning twice and running well in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; well below that level in light campaign last season however and now tries fences. |

Capable hurdler with a mark of 119 but finished a remote third on her switch to fences at Tramore (1m7f, good); the cheekpieces tried there are removed; bit to prove on the back of that effort. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |

Bagged back-to-back mares' handicap hurdles in January/March at Down Royal and Leopardstown at 2m1f/2m3f on soft ground; form has dipped in three runs since, including when beaten 18.5l at Galway last time (2m1f, good); cheekpieces return and the tongue tie is new; one of the top rated over hurdles for this chasing bow but needs to bring her best. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

Three hurdle wins in second half of 2024 haven't been added to, including in a stint chasing; most recently creditable fourth in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May; back hurdling and ideally wants softer ground. |

Won maiden hurdle at this course in September 2024, went on to score at Grade 3 level; encouraging start to chasing career when second to Argento Boy at Punchestown in December; below that last time out when sixth here; down in trip and tried in cheekpieces on handicap chase debut off 3lb lower mark than over hurdles. |

Been a grand horse for his small yard, five Flat wins and a couple of strikes over hurdles; has won over 2m6f and beat Stede Bonnet readily over this trip at Roscommon in June; mid-field over 2m6f at Galway on latest hurdles outing. |

In the process of returning to form when taking a heavy fall over fences a month ago; how he reacts to that remains to be seen, but potentially dangerous off this mark; likes good ground. |

His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off 108 at Cork (3m) in April; tailed off in this race last year. |

1-7 over fences; best run since his beginners' chase win at Down Royal (19.5f, good) last year came when a 3.75l third at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); disappointed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen latest; runner up in the QR handicap on the Flat here in 2024 so not totally discounted in new headgear combination. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |

Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

Decent staying handicap chaser on goodish ground, as he showed when landing a Listed 3m handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in May; never got involved in the Galway Plate; new headgear tried today and dangerous to underestimate. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Useful three-time winner over hurdles; didn't look that progressive as a chaser until comfortably beating 20 rivals in a 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown in May; a 6lb rise could have been worse and he's now 2-3 under J J Slevin; couldn't put a line through him. |

Three-time hurdles winner made winning chase debut in 2m5f Fairyhouse beginners' in October (yielding) but hasn't really progressed, albeit solid first handicap effort when third over 3m1f at same venue last month; 3m tends to stretch him so stamina concerns. |

First reserve; three-time hurdles winner has been beaten a long way in five chase starts this season, including in novice handicaps the last twice; unseated at the fourth at Wexford last time; 10lb lower mark in this sphere and has won on good ground, so there are positives if returning to form. |

Mixed hurdles and fences last year on return after a long absence; a close second in the Cork National but was then pulled-up in the Porterstown Chase; should improve for this. |
