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. |

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 |
10st 12lb |
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. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Better form over shorter distances after being pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed over C&D and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a competitive handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft) in November; set tough tasks on last three starts, this looks more realistic. |
14/1 |

5th 4 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Has done well over shorter distances since pulled up in the 3m4f Munster National; placed at Gowran (2m, heavy) and Punchestown (2m5f, soft to heavy) before winning a listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding to soft); tailed off in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 last month and beaten 15l in a Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, soft) last time; likely to find these to be too talented. |

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. |

Strong stayer with the form to feature off this mark but he has been very quiet in two runs over hurdles this year. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

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. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 8lb |
Two-time hurdles winner is 0-5 in chases; out of form in 2026 but has yet to get his favoured good ground; could go well in first-time cheekpieces with conditions to suit. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Hard to fancy on the evidence of his four runs over fences this year; however, he's well handicapped on last summer's hurdle form and he's from a respected Irish stable; one to watch in the betting. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

One of two for trainer; point-to-point winner added his second hurdles win at Listowel in June off 116 (2m, good); poor form shown in three recent beginners' chases but this is his first handicap chase and the fact Donoghue chooses him over Kazakh d'Arthel looks significant. |

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. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 45y |

Won Limerick beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien last season; two fair runs over fences for Declan Queally this term before breakthrough hurdles win on yard debut at Punchestown; Naas run four days later may have come too soon. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 20y |
10st 10lb |
Won Limerick beginners' chase for Liam O'Brien last season; two good runs for Declan Queally this term before breakthrough hurdles win on yard debut at Punchestown on Wednesday, getting the better of the front-running second (pair 17l clear of third-placed Ontheropes) late on over 3m1f (soft); quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty and bold follow-up bid expected. |
