30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Has been chasing since pulled up in this race last year; 66-1 chance then; an unenviable task again; first-time cheekpieces. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y |
11st 12lb |
No wins since December 2024 and three chase efforts to date have not been super encouraging; beaten 23l in a Thurles handicap last time (2m5f, yielding); nonetheless, he's the second highest rated of the field here and possibilities if putting his best foot forward. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Blinkered first time when third of 14 on his handicap debut in this sphere at Thurles (2m5f, yielding) in January and off the mark over fences when landing fairly valuable event at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month; 22-1 and pulled up in Listed novice handicap last time but that had the makings of a warm event and he needs respecting. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 11lb |
Improved since going handicapping, decent Thurles effort followed by 2m Gowran win last month on heavy under a positive ride from today's rider; 5lb higher and this looks a much stronger race. |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Second on his first two starts over fences last April/May; remote seventh behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan in November; below-par when sharing favouritism in a Punchestown conditions hurdle in December; ran out of steam late on handicap chase debut over 2m5f at Thurles, 2m may suit better. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Has only one win over hurdles but ran a cracker to be fourth in this race last year off the same mark; ran over fences without winning first four runs this season but a fine effort when not the clearest of passages in the Martin Pipe last time; a player. |
8/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Has failed to match the pick of his hurdles form since switched to fences; last two attempts in this sphere resulted in creditable efforts in notable staying handicaps last spring, including in the Pertemps Final at this meeting; quite exposed, however, and is 0-13 since debut win. |
20/1 |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |
11st 12lb |
1-9 over hurdles and rated 140 in that sphere; well beaten in three beginners chases this season behind some smart types and enters handicap ranks on 10lb lower mark than hurdles so has to be respected. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 4lb |
A 135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo last October; best chase run was over further in a Grade 3 contest at Thurles; never a threat behind today's rival Come Walk With Me at Fairyhouse on latest. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 7lb |
135-rated hurdler trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October; much stiffer tasks since in Graded novices', staying on remote third over 2m at Cork and last month when made plenty of use of at Thurles but didn't seem to get home when third over 2m6f (soft); return to 2m may suit on handicap debut. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 110y |

135-rated hurdler with two wins from eight starts; solid run in the Galway Hurdle; below form over 2m4f at Listowel since; trounced weak opposition at Sligo on chase debut; beaten 16l and 9l third behind two smart mares at Cork. |

Has run only five times since a runaway Punchestown festival handicap chase success in 2023; failed to beat a single opponent in his two races this season; only mild encouragement from last month's third over hurdles at Thurles. |
