11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Irish 7yo whose broadly progressive form switched to chasing this season features a comfortable win at Roscommon (sole attempt over 3m1f; good) in the summer and good second in Thurles handicap (2m5f, yielding) last time; still reasonably unexposed and looks interesting back up in distance. |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 198y |
11st 11lb |
Winning pointer and twice successful over hurdles for Pat Doyle; took third behind subsequent Galway Plate winner Western Fold on chasing debut before comfortably justifying favouritism next time at Roscommon (3m1f, good); made stable debut back from a break in a five-runner novice event at Fairyhouse last time when a distant fourth (2m5f, soft); shaped as though he would come on for the run that day. |

Winning pointer who won twice over hurdles, including a 3l defeat of Heroes Rise at Thurles in December; matched that RPR when third on recent chase debut; good chance. |

11st 1lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but no joy since; shaped okay over fences at Downpatrick when last seen in March 2025; declared to run but non-runner four times since (twice when lame, twice because of ground); preferred by Kennedy and worth a market check. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Signed off for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland with hard-fought win at Galway (2m6f, yielding) in the autumn but was pulled up when reappearing for new stable at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) ten days ago and needs to turn things around quickly. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |

Absent since October when he signed off for Gavin Cromwell with a 2m6f win at Galway (yielding); stays 3m and should get this far, but would need to see some confidence behind him. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |
11st 1lb |
Won two of his six starts over hurdles; latest second at Fairyhouse his most encouraging run yet over fences but only four ran and his jumping was a bit scruffy; will need to be sharper all round in his first handicap but the ability is there. |

Seven-time winner over hurdles and fences; won a Listed handicap chase over 2m1f at Fairyhouse in November, but it's been mostly downhill since; showed a spark over hurdles at Kilbeggan last time; 3lb wrong here. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 in bumpers last year (two wins here) and opened hurdling account in modest Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in December; not discredited when fifth over 2m7f at Thurles (good) later that month and has good claims on this handicap debut if ready to roll after 204-day absence. |

Useful dual-purpose sort who stays well; fit from hurdling, won at Roscommon on his penultimate start; went close at Killarney in May on his only Flat start this season. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |

Doubled his score over hurdles when winning well at Roscommon last time, beating Stede Bonnet; however, his record is still only 2-29 and a 7lb rise makes this a tougher task up in grade. |

11st 5lb |
Gained compensation for two narrow defeats when landing Thurles maiden hurdle in November (2m7f, good) against her own sex; that form has worked out well; below best in novice there when last seen but strikes as the type who will flourish over fences now. |

Had a couple of mishaps over fences and didn't run badly in first-time blinkers over hurdles at Bellewstown last month; could do better with that confidence booster under his belt and the headgear is retained. |

Has suffered mishaps over fences lately, equipment failure at Tramore, hampered and unseated at Punchestown; second in this race in 2025; could be interesting in first-time blinkers; however, Fiver Friday appeals as the stable's main hope. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 5lb |
Won a handicap hurdle on first start for this yard at Punchestown in February; won a beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien in October 2024; has run well here before but well beaten last twice over timber and this looks too demanding; cheekpieces go on. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |
