11st 12lb |
Winner of eight races (four Flat) and four over hurdles between March and June last year; rated a very respectable 136 over hurdles; pulled up before the last on his recent chase debut at Sligo, having made a bad mistake four out; beat watched for the moment. |

Dual Flat winner has won four over hurdles, with the last of those coming at Killarney in 2024; well beaten in a Grade 2 novice when last seen; needs to be at his best on chasing debut after a long absence. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 5lb |
Made winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap in November (yielding) and given winter off until not looking to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; interesting contender back in trip here with ground to suit. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |

Winner of maiden hurdle at Navan (2m4f, heavy); some creditable handicap efforts in that sphere; 120-rated hurdler was an eyecatching second on chase debut at Wexford (25.5f, good to yielding) on latest; considered. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Rated 9lb higher over fences but has so far failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark this season; went very close to doing so at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December and Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy) in January but below that level at Naas on latest; could rebound. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-winning chaser has been attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark this season; beaten just a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown in December (2m5f, good to yielding); 1l behind Zanoosh last time at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) and that rival bolted up in Listed company next time; creeping up the weights for not winning all the same. |
15/2 |

2nd 6 |
17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 5lb |
Smart chaser went very close to taking advantage of lower hurdles mark when beaten a nose by The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown last time (2m4f, good to yielding) in a 23-runner field; had been out of form prior to that run, but if he is back to his best a 4lb higher mark may not stop him. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Very lightly raced for his age and took his form to a new level when winning valuable handicap at Haydock (3m, soft; up 6lb today) in November under 5lb claimer; found an Ascot Grade 1 far too tough six weeks ago but could have more to offer for his shrewd Irish stable now he's back in a handicap. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner is 0-23 over hurdles; rated 12lb lower in this sphere but failed to exploit his lesser mark on last start over timber at Gowran; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

In good form this season, gaining second Limerick win last month, coming late under patient ride to win going away (2m4f) on preferred heavy ground; nudged up to near career-high mark now and quicker ground a slight concern. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times from the front (once over C&D) last season and lost out only narrowly in refitted cheekpieces at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago but this veteran is nothing like the force of old, and might find this race to competitive. |
8/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran chaser who landed his third win of the season, over C&D (soft) in February when getting the better of Lumi Plugin; found the Sussex National back here 13 days ago a tad too competitive but cannot be dismissed here back in the right grade. |
7/2 |

7th 11 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins in small fields this season (2m5f-3m5f, good/soft) and another good run when second of three at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) recently; however, there's a suspicion this 12yo will find today's race too competitive. |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Better than ever last year, winning over hurdles twice, including here (2m6f, yielding); 0-12 chasing but stayed on for third over C&D in May after racing wide; and would have got closer at Wexford last time but for repeated jumping errors; place chance if jumps better. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Better than ever last summer, winning over hurdles at Tramore and Sligo; 0-11 chasing though, staying on third at Tramore on May return, having raced wide; not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |

Maiden hurdle winner last year disappointed in that sphere at Galway and tried chasing at Tramore; was a respectable third over 2m6f behind a now 128-rated rival; still needs to improve. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Runner-up on all four bumper starts; won a maiden hurdle by 10l at Kilbeggan last September; runner-up on handicap at Listowel festival; after a break, possibly needed the race at Killarney last month; pulled up at Galway; no chasing experience. |

Tailed off here last October on final start in 2024; had been on an upward curve previously, winning a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan and finishing runner-up at Listowel; possibly needed the race when fourth to Greatness Awaits at Killarney; improvement likely. |

11st 12lb |
Form of 122 in points and the form of his 2022 point win worked out nicely; not so much the two 2023 efforts and he was tailed off when making his rules debut last week at 50-1; needs to leave that run behind. |
