29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 8lb |
Lacks course form over fences; smart novice who ran creditably in two strong handicaps (3m2f/2m5f) last season before finishing tailed off in the Grand National at Aintree where not a lot went right (twice badly hampered; 20-1); enters the reckoning. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Fourth behind two of these in 3m Grade 1 novice event at Cheltenham last March; ran creditably all three starts this winter, notably 11l fourth of 24 off this mark to Panic Attack at Newbury (3m2f) in November when he stuck to his task very well having been left at the shambolic start; improvement is needed but that race gave encouragement for longer trips and his dam is half-sister to Cappa Bleu who was placed in this race in 2012 and 2013. |

Novice wins came at up to 2m4f but some good runs over further, including latest when fourth of 24 in 3m2f Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November on handicap debut; has form on heavy; should go well. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better known as a chaser but has shown smart hurdles form in the past; would have a squeak if back in top form off a lower hurdle mark. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Two wins include this race last year off 2lb lower; standout run this term when second in Grade 3 Punchestown contest (2m7f), tame effort last time (albeit stiff task) in Grade 2 at Thurles; not one to rule out back in handicap company. |
15/2 |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 66y |

Useful sort; best form at Punchestown, including when second to the talented Heart Wood three starts ago; 2-16 record over fences is not a great return bearing in mind his 147 rating; inferior to the four Mullins-trained runners on official figures |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 5lb |
Course winner; this meeting owes him one having twice finished runner-up in the Galway Hurdle (and fourth) and second in this last year behind Western Fold; returns off a 2lb lower mark despite beating notable opposition at Listowel on final run; solid chance. |
14/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 8lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; now 2-10 over fences having made all to score readily over 2m4f Listowel a month ago; won this race last year as a prelude to a fine effort in taking second place in the Galway Plate; faces a tough task this time, since he meets Daddy Long Legs on 12lb worse than handicap terms. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Five-time hurdle winner who is 1-9 over fences, though was runner-up in last summer's Galway Plate; all the sharper for his comeback run when beaten 4l in a 2m4f Grade 3 at Killarney three weeks ago and he's a player on these terms. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 10lb |
3-14 over hurdles; has only managed one win over fences but has often run well in defeat; has the ability to figure here but has never won beyond 19.5f and he's got stamina questions to answer over this far a trip. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 4lb |
2-16 over fences but hasn't won since November 2024; excellent effort to finish a 5.5l third at Galway (18.5f, good) and filled the same position at Tramore (2m6f, good) latest when beaten 11.5l; frame claims again off the same mark. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Dual chase winner was second over hurdles at Killarney in May and ran a cracker back over fences at Galway last time; looks a big player down 2lb and in grade. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Disappointing in Mayo National at Ballinrobe and held by a couple of these on latest Wexford fifth; crack conditional being on board will help his chance, and is back down to a nice mark. |

10st 11lb |
Won this in 2024 off 1lb higher mark and timely return to form last month under forcing tactics, winning over 2m at Punchestown and only denied by a neck off 5lb higher over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; up another 3lb but likely big player again. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Back to form with third chase win in fine style at Punchestown nine days ago (20.5f, yielding), making all to win by 3.25l; 5lb rise for that, but won this race off this mark last year; obvious chance if in the same form but consistency not a strong suit. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |

2-30 over fences, both wins coming at Kilbeggan; is 5lb below his latest win but he's been out of sorts for a while and not an ideal preparation for this when falling at the fifth fence at Kilbeggan just six days ago; fourth in this last year but others make more appeal. |

0-23 under Rules and 0-11 in chases; his most recent third at Killarney was a remote one and his best form is on good ground; others appeal more. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Better over fences than over hurdles; best run came in a novice chase at this track last October; back from a break with a heavy defeat at Ballinrobe 13 days ago; might need another run or two to hit top gear. |

Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing behind Aspurofthemoment at Galway; pulled up in Kerry National, Paul Townend aboard now; stamina doubt remains. |

Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing at Galway; those races were over shorter distances; a question mark about her ability to stay effectively. |
