28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Prospered after second to Western Fold on chase debut at Tipperary last May; hat-trick included small-field 3m Grade 2s at this venue and Navan; took time to warm up and left with plenty to do in the Brown Advisory, made late progress to finish fourth behind Kitzbuhel; towards the back when unseated at the 15th (Chair) in the Grand National. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
A first-season novice won the 2022 Grand National when unraced beyond 3m1f and this Irish challenger (who's one year older) bids to repeat the feat; hat-trick this season included two small-field Grade 2s and when his winning sequence came to an end it was in the Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham Festival, where some slow jumping in the early stages left him with plenty to do but he made late inroads to finish fourth; he still looks capable of better and the longer trip could suit. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive over fences, winning soft-ground 3m Grade 2s at Punchestown in November (beat Koktail Divin) and Navan in February (by 6l from The Wallpark) on his last two starts; has a better chance on form for his two-horse trainer than double-figure odds suggest; one to consider each-way. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Better than ever for current yard, gaining two Listed wins on right-handed tracks (good to soft); jumped that way at times when held at left-handed Doncaster in hat-trick attempt; clear on ratings and the return to a clockwise course is ideal. |

11st 2lb |
All her improvement for Willie Mullins came over longer trips and she very nearly won last season's Killarney National over 3m2f; however, after two respectable Flat runs for this yard, she returned to jumps with a near miss over a similar trip to today's in Chepstow's always-competitive Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle; clearly retains significant ability. |

Accounted for Qualimita in a maiden hurdle at Navan in November; stepped up on that when landing a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Cork last month; 6lb is a manageable penalty; each-way chance. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 1lb |
Won three races last year, including handicap chases at Tipperary (2m7f, yielding) and Market Rasen (3m, good); is 6lb higher than for that latter win; shaped nicely on return from a break over hurdles at Wexford 23 days ago but soft ground would be a big concern for her. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner was in good form over fences last summer, winning twice; has won after a break before, so she's in the mix on return. |

Dual hurdle winner has shown improved form chasing lately, winning handicaps at Tipperary and Market Rasen over approx 3m; needs to find more on these terms. |

11st 11lb |
Flattered by second placing in a 21.5f Tramore beginners' chase on stable debut when benefitting from carnage at the second last fence; however, she was staying on pretty nicely so looks worth a go at this longer trip back over hurdles; visor goes on. |

2nd 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 5lb |
3-16 over hurdles for John McConnell, the wins coming at 2m3f-2m5f; has failed to match that over fences; has changed to a leading local stable; talented 5lb claimer rides. |
7/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Is 3-16 over hurdles but not at the same level over fences as of yet; there are signs of improvement, though and her run at Perth last time was her best so far; could be more improvement in new set of headgear. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Impressive over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in December on second chase start; two lesser runs have followed in Grade 3s and there remains a question mark regarding stamina; however, Gordon Elliott and Rob James won this with a 7yo novice in 2020 and he's not ruled out in view of the Fairyhouse promise. |

3rd 7 |
25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner and won once over hurdles; better chaser this term however, running away with 2m5f Fairyhouse novice last month (soft) but came up short upped in class at Punchestown earlier this month; tries a new trip here and possibly vulnerable to some proven stayers. |
