6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 8lb |
Has been struggling for over a year; three runs this year, pulling up twice and being well held over hurdles at Cork; slipping in the weights but little other reasons to recommend him back over fences up in trip in first-time blinkers. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |

Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences in 18 starts but ran a fine race at Clonmel last time over nearly 3m; stepping up in trip will be a help and can be involved off the same mark. |

Still seeking a first chase win after 17 attempts, runner-up three times and has run creditably in the last two editions of the 3m6f Portertstown Chase at Fairyhouse; others seem more likely unless cheekpieces do the trick. |

11st 3lb |
Sole win over timber came at this venue and went close over C&D in June; encouraging run at Listowel last month when only beaten half a length but disappointing at Punchestown last week; not ruled out given her propensity to go well at this venue. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 45y |

Not a super attractive profile with a record of 1-24 over hurdles but she has been running some nice races recently; returned to the scene of her sole win when beaten a neck at Clonmel in June (2m4f, good to yielding); went close again at Listowel last time when 0.5l behind the winner; just needs that bit more and perhaps the added tongue tie can help. |

Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

Irish hunter chase winner who has gone very close on both starts for this stable, beaten a neck at Fontwell (3m2f, good) and by a short head at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) nine days later; up in class but looks to have a strong chance of doubling his chase tally. |

Every chance but couldn't quite get past when suffering an odds-on defeat on this month's Fontwell stable debut (3m2f), though did at least record a clear personal best good-ground effort there; 4lb well in as a result, but today's contest has a little bit more depth to it for the grade. |

0-14 under rules but 6-9 in points; second in two handicap hurdles over about 2m6f at Exeter this year, which saw him start 11-10 favourite for five-runner race over C&D (good) 13 days ago but he clipped heels and unseated in the early stages; that was the race won by Gasmani; should give him a lot more to think about this time, barring mishaps. |
