14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Rated 101 over hurdles following two wins in that sphere; makes chasing debut following almost a year off and likely to find a few too talented. |

9yo who has had a lot of racing and steered clear of fences since finishing fourth of seven at Clonmel two years ago; however, was running well before finishing second in a claiming hurdle last time and he's now with John McConnell. |

Maiden has been dropping down the handicap this year; best run came when beaten just over 7l at Fairyhouse last time over 2m; down 2lb and needs to find more up in trip. |

Off the track for just over two years; only one win from 15 starts over hurdles, but it was a notable performance that saw him beat the useful Perceval Legallois in a 3m handicap hurdle at the 2022 Galway festival; 2m may prove inadequate on his return. |

No wins from 12 but went mighty close over C&D (good) last time when denied by a head; his form is in and out, but a repeat of his last run will see him go close off 2lb higher; ground is a slight unknown. |

Benefited from an enterprising ride by Jessica O'Gorman to score narrowly at Gowran (1m4f, good); only 3lb higher but this might not pan out quite so favourably. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 11lb |
Mixed form this season, best efforts over hurdles at Navan, winning 2m handicap and second to a progressive horse over 2m4f last time; two less encouraging runs over fences, well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when found to have blood at both nostrils; trainer won this last year. |

Six-time winner split evenly between hurdles and fences; began season with two poor runs over hurdles but returned to form when making all to land a gamble in a 2m handicap hurdle here in November (heavy); well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Poterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when last seen when found to have blood at both nostrils; chance at his best |

In excellent form since return from long layoff; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April; added a Cartmel handicap chase (17.5f, good) last month; this is tougher, however, so will need a career best to follow up. |
8/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed a gamble over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) in April following a 458-day absence and ran well when third off 14lb higher mark there last month; showed little in three runs over fences in 2024 for previous trainer but may be a different proposition these days; market watch advised. |

Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again. |

Showed much-improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month (2m4f, soft); detcahed when unseating his rider on 2m chase debut at Tramore on New Year's Day; step up in trip should help; cheekpieces. |
