Four hurdle wins including at this track; the best of four chase runs came when third to Oscars Brother in a Galway beginners'; poor since but is capable of better, so not dismissed. |

Won four of 11 starts over hurdles including a Pertemps qualifier at Leopardstown last Christmas; down the field in the Final at Cheltenham; staying type, should make a useful chaser in time. |

Barely sighted when only 8-1 for the Pertemps Final but had won four of his previous seven over hurdles including a qualifier for that race at Leopardstown; finds himself 10lb higher but likely that he has more in the locker. |

Bumper winner failed to get his head in front over hurdles (0-8, rated 117); lacks chasing experience and probably best watched on his first start over fences after a 248 day absence. |

Three-time winner over hurdles, the latest at Clonmel last November off 3lb lower (3m, soft); pulled up on latest but has run well here before so could rebound; place shout. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Won at Clonmel in November off 3lb lower; bounced back to form after three poor runs with a 5l third of 10 over C&D 17 days ago (1.5l behind Toor Khov); not guaranteed to back that effort up but place claims at least if he does. |

12st 0lb |
Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form. |

Bounced back to form with a bang at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) when defeating runner-up Coppola by 7.5l off a career low mark; hefty 10lb hit for that, but this three-time hurdles winner has won off a mark of 106 before; big player. |

11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |
14/1 |

5th 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount. |
