6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 12lb |
High class novice last season who was second to The New Lion in the 2m5f Grade 1 at Cheltenham; later suffered a heavy fall at Punchestown; this campaign hasn't really got off the ground and departed too far out (three from home) in the 2m5f handicap at the Festival (Storm Heart third) to know how he would have fared, though was going well enough at the time; wouldn't be a surprise to see him get his career back on track. |

12st 0lb |
Four-timer as a novice last season culminated in 2m4f Grade 1 at Naas, which he followed with second over 2m5f at this meeting (gave The New Lion plenty to think about); took a heavy fall at Punchestown in May, beaten at 8-15 in November (fair second) and failed to shine in Grade 1 at Christmas (notwithstanding the near 3m trip) so he's on a recovery mission, but last season can't be forgotten yet; cheekpieces go on for this handicap debut. |

Didn't jump that well on handicap debut at Navan last time but finished well, just 2l behind Crossing The Bar; with improvement he can go close off the same mark. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Fair good-ground hurdler over around 2m4f, easy winner at Bellewstown last summer and comes here on the back of a good run at Listowel; nicely-bred sort goes chasing now under regular rider. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

Some promise in bumpers and placed in three maiden hurdles last year for his former yard; Won very easily for this rider on stable/handicap debut at Bellewstown; hit with 16lb rise that looks punitive. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ran well for a long way when third at Kelso (2m2f, good) in April but two lesser efforts have followed and he's now 0-7 for current stable; sometimes races too freely; others have more pressing claims. |

Naas winner (2m4f maiden hurdle) for Stuart Crawford in December 2024; 0-6 for this trainer, beaten 25l at Hexham (2m, good; 9-1) six weeks ago; mark continues to slide, now 11lb lower than three starts back; others are more obvious. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 for current stable since the autumn but seemingly aided by refitted hood and/or first-time tongue-tie when respectable third at Kelso (2m2f, good) last month and has dropped another 3lb since. |

11st 7lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo; won three of nine points but 0-12 under rules and tailed off over hurdles (2m3f maiden) and fences (2m5f handicap) here in both runs for current yard; untried at this trip and has lots to prove. |

Ex-Irish 8yo; won three of his nine points but he's 0-11 under rules and was tailed off in maiden hurdle here (2m3f, good) on recent stable debut; now returns to a handicap but he's failed to complete in two of his four starts over regulation fences and has plenty to prove back in this sphere. |

11st 12lb |
Improved to win a 2m3f bumper at Downpatrick in August; jumping was not his strong suit when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at the same venue last month, but the winner did the form no harm whan a close second in a Galway novice hurdle last weekend; this looks a much more difficult assignment though. |
