Decent novice, winning a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and a Grade 3 novice at Navan; probably stepped up on that when a well beaten second to stablemate Romeo Coolio here at Christmas; others preferred. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
9st 6lb |
One of seven for yard; won the Ebor Trial here in June (1m6f, good) off 87; raised 8lb and came up short in the Ebor at York on latest; handicapper might just have him where he wants him for now. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; won a 1m6f maiden at Gowran Park last September, two hurdle races last jumps season (including a 2m4f Grade 2 novice in April) and 1m6f handicap at the Curragh this June; well beaten in two major handicap hurdles, including at Galway three weeks ago, but he's on an upward curve with those other results. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y |

Won a 1m6f Gowran maiden by 7l last September and scored again in a 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in June; hurdling in between, won a 2m4f Grade 2 Novice at Fairyhouse in April; might prefer further, but a strong-run 2m could suit. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences; ran well in a beginners' here in November but beaten 21l and pulled up in first two handicap chases at Punchestown and Cheltenham; others have more appealing profiles. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
7yo who is lightly raced over fences and represents top Irish yard; went close at Fairyhouse in November on second chase start but his form has gone the wrong way since and he was soundly beaten at Punchestown last month in his first handicap chase; ninth in the Pertemps Final here last March. |

15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner; failed to add to a maiden hurdle win; remote third behind top-class stablemate Romeo Coolio on chase debut at Down Royal; went close in less demanding company over 2m4f at Fairyhouse; has failed to build on that in races at Leopardstown and Navan; cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
10st 13lb |
3-14 over hurdles and rated 128; won a Clonmel beginners' chase on her penultimate start (15.5f, yld-sft); modest third in mares' listed hurdle at Killarney latest (2m1f, gd-yld); solid place chance on the figures but more needed to win. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner has landed three hurdle races, the latest of which came at Gowran in October in a conditions event (2m1f, soft); proved her health when winning her chasing debut at Clonmel last month; a small bit to find on ratings but by no means dismissed. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |

Chase debutante is rated 129 over hurdles; can race keenly at times but likes cut in the ground and her yard had a Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse last week; lacks a recent run but is one of the more likely ones here. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
9st 10lb |
Last year's Galway Hurdle runner-up, a long time since the last of his five Flat wins (enjoyed highlight in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021); slipping in the ratings and fit from hurdling. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
9yo was second to Lord Erskine in this last year and later first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted for interference); back from winter break when midfield in County Hurdle last month (close up behind Karbau and Hello Neighbour), tiring from last; entitled to come on for that. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose 9yo in fine form in Flat/hurdle codes last year, first past the post in the Galway Hurdle (demoted to second behind Ndaawi for interference); respectable efforts on Flat subsequently; first race for five months. |

16th Nov 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark when showing improved form to beat a subsequent winner in 2m Punchestown maiden in February (heavy); place prospects when last-flight faller in 2m4f Perth handicap in April (soft) and has since left Willie Mullins; probably needs to improve to play a major role on yard debut. |

Half-brother to Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin; 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle winner last season; poor in a trio of beginners' chases this season at large odds; better in a Limerick novice contest last time when a 4.75l fourth (2m2f, soft to heavy); Walsh rides Goraibhmaithagat. |

Half-brother to last month's Gold Cup winner won 2m Punchestown maiden on decent ground last May; lame when pulled up in Grade 3 at Navan; poor run on heavy when tried in a tongue-tie in 2m3f rated novice back at Punchestown in January; bit to prove but still early days. |
