Went close in Listowel bumper on debut before Punchestown bumper success in 2022; respectable third at Navan on sole start last year but might not be fully wound up for this after another 420 days off. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 7lb |
Won around Sligo last year and handicap winner over this trip at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; also ran well when third at DRF; 2m6f was too far in the Galway Blazers, but fitter for that and this looks a good opportunity. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Won twice over fences in 2025, most recently off 9lb lower at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding); has come up short in three starts since, weakening on latest when upped to 2m5f in the Topham at Aintree; stamina a query upped further in trip. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win over fences came in a valuable 3m2f handicap chase at Cheltenham in December; decent enough run in the Ultima at the Festival in March; not seen since pulling up in the Scottish National; others more likely here, but worth watching with the big staying handicap chases coming up. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark over fences in good style at Cheltenham (extended 3m2f, good to soft) in December and that's the furthest he's been; worked his way into contention at the Festival there (3m1f Ultima) on latest outing until some bumping on the home turn and running out of steam; not disgraced there but 4m has to be something of a guess; cheekpieces are added. |
25/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Off the mark over fences at fifth attempt in good style here (3m2f, good to soft) in December, when back up in trip; well beaten in Grade 3 novice at Naas since but the heavy ground provides an excuse; a mark 8lb higher than for his course win may not be insurmountable for this unexposed 8yo. |

0-7 over timber; not a bad run here over 2m1f (yielding) on latest and may have needed that after a break; stepping up in trip should suit and he's got an each-way chance. |

Thurles maiden win last term came on good ground; disappointing twice since on easier ground at Punchestown, latest when dropping away quickly after forcing much of pace early this month in handicap; bit to prove now. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |

Off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on latest (3m, good), showing a willing attitude to score by a neck; 4lb rise for that seems fair but not sure this drop back in trip will suit. |

Left his previous maiden hurdle form behind when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month (beaten roughly 1l) and the third went close at Clonmel since; handicapper has revised his mark and may need further progress to win on handicap debut but longer trip may suit. |

Off the mark in a Clonmel handicap chase (2m7f, soft) when last seen in April; rated 7lb lower over hurdles but lacks a recent run and this trip looks too sharp; could do with some rain too. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 55y |

Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |

Sent off huge prices for a trio of maiden hurdles and, while she showed limited ability on her second start over 2m4f at Cork, she's hard to fancy on her handicap debut; first-time hood. |
