1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 3lb |
Last year's Arkle runner-up is 4-8 over fences; won a Naas Grade 3 on her seasonal return in November; disappointed in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown a month later but back on song when chasing Dinoblue home in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham; big player again here. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Arkle here (2m, good to soft) 12 months ago and returned from a break with a game win Grade 3 against males at Naas (2m, soft) in November; unproven at today's trip and well beaten in Grade 1 against males at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December, but was badly hampered at the second fence; has an each-way shout if seeing out the distance. |

Progressive mare whose record of 3-4 since switched to chasing features wins in Cork Grade 2 and Exeter Listed event, both against her own sex; belied her 25-1 odds with excellent second in dramatic Arkle most recently, edging ahead and looking the likely winner on the run-in only to be collared by the fast-finishing winner close home; had Majborough behind on that occasion but she might be reliant on the Mullins runner to falter in the jumping department again. |

Grade 2-winning hurdler got off the mark over fences at the fourth time of asking when landing standard Cork beginners' (2m1f, yielding) 11 days ago, doing it from the front; won't be allowed to dictate things here but opening mark is fair and is another worthy of respect for the Mullins stable. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Hurdle winner on heavy but best form on good ground, when a wide-margin winner of a mares' novice handicap chase on the New course (about 2m4f) last April; well held back here in November and at Leopardstown on Boxing Day which leaves her with something to find. |

Hurdle winner got off the mark over fences in a valuable mares' Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham in April; was well below that level at Punchestown next time; however, has gone well fresh before so considered. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 147y |
11st 1lb |
Smart hurdler, though with an inferior mark to King Of Kingsfield; however, he's already a better chaser and after dominating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe he was runner-up (from the front) in a Grade 3 at Galway; standout claims. |
8/11 |
|
2nd 8 |
31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Decent hurdler is a higher-rated chaser despite just one win from six attempts, unchallenged in beating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe in May (good) on latest; posted higher RPR's in defeat earlier under similar forcing tactics, notably fourth in valuable 2m1f Plumpton handicap; Townend's pick but possibly vulnerable at this level. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 54y |

Useful hurdler, though won only once from eight starts; 0-5 over fences and appears flattered by an official rating of 140; made a couple of mistakes when beaten favourite (fourth) for a Plumpton handicap five weeks ago; reproduction of neck second to Aspire Tower at Wexford might be enough in this company. |

Hurdle/chase winner; had lost her way but off a reduced mark she rediscovered some form when beaten about 6l into third at Downpatrick three weeks ago (2m2f, good); won't be far away if as good again. |

Hurdles and chase winner; out of sorts since winning at Down Royal in October but has slipped back down to her last winning mark and ran well on only previous visit to this track; can't dismiss. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Novice win came at Down Royal last season and pick of this season's handicap form when fourth in 2m4f Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and held narrow lead when faller two out in 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick over Christmas; didn't stay 3m1f in Thyestes following month and has had time off since; could go well. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |

Two good runs at Cheltenham this season, including fourth in the Paddy Power in November, and a creditable second at Limerick on his seasonal debut the previous month; in the lead but beginning to look vulnerable when falling two out in the Tim Duggan at Limerick on latest. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 9lb |
No wins since two hurdles two seasons ago at around 2m4f; much improved to take third in the Punchestown Grand National Trial in February (3m4f, heavy), coming from further back than first two; may have won a Listed contest at Naas last time (3m1f, soft to heavy) but unseated at the last when jumping into challenger; he's in form and no surprise to see him feature. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Two hurdles wins two seasons ago at around 2m4f; 0-3 chasing last term; never dangerous in opening two runs this season, however much improved in the Punchestown Grand National Trial (3m4f, heavy) last month when taking third; came from further back than the first two that day so deserves extra credit; 4lb wrong but in the mix with a repeat. |

Won over extended 2m5f last year and was leading when exiting two out on his next start; hasn't been finishing out his races lately and not sure this longer trip will help matters. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |

Won this race last year with plenty to spare under this rider; three failures to complete since then make him a risky proposition; however, not badly handicapped if he can put in an error-free round. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Maiden hurdle winner at Tipperary early last season; very weak chase form initially; turned a corner when winning readily at Leopardstown in March; in the lead when stumbling and falling two out at Fairyhouse in April; can win more races |
