28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 0lb |
Course winner in decent form and has finished in the first four in four of five starts this season; beaten 3.25l behind Sainte Lucie at Cork on latest; cheekpieces worn that day left off and he's 4lb wrong here; minor place claims. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Maiden hurdle winner has been mostly consistent in defeat in handicaps; has been slowly dropping in the weights and cheekpieces may help eke out more. |

10st 13lb |
Punchestown maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has been consistent in his runs since without looking like winning; down 1lb since 7l fourth at Punchestown on New Year's Eve (2m3f, yielding); Billy Lee Swagger looks like the stable first string. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Outran his odds when a closing fourth in last year's Champion Bumper; the form of his first two efforts in maiden hurdles were underwhelming and he offered little in a 2m6f Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival when behind Wingmen and Jasmin De Vaux. |

10st 6lb |
Runner-up in Galway bumper and ran well in a couple of auction maiden hurdles; dropped out tamely in handicap at Punchestown in January on soft; better ground here should suit. |

12th Jan 2025 Frozen 2m 4f 124y |

Still a maiden but has done little wrong; runner-up in a Galway bumper and has run well in a couple of auction maiden hurdles; handicapper has not taken too many chances but an interesting handicap debutante nonetheless. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |
10st 11lb |
Point winner; displayed promise in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Thurles; poor form last year in three chase starts; heavy defeat after break on handicap debut at Cork in April; can only be watched in first-time blinkers. |
28/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
10st 3lb |
Ran well in a maiden hurdle at Thurles in November 2024 but has struggled since, though has been set some tough tasks; this more realistic and worth a market check on return from a break on handicap debut. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Gavin Cromwell; likely needed first run since April 2025 when beaten 28l on British/yard debut; middle leg of subsequent five-timer was a 6l defeat of Practice Run in a Howick intermediate (soft); untried over rules fences, but versatile as regards track and going types. |

Poor in handicap hurdles lately and is rated only 86 so has to make huge progress for tackling fences. |
