12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Impressive over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in December on second chase start; two lesser runs have followed in Grade 3s and there remains a question mark regarding stamina; however, Gordon Elliott and Rob James won this with a 7yo novice in 2020 and he's not ruled out in view of the Fairyhouse promise. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner and won once over hurdles; better chaser this term however, running away with 2m5f Fairyhouse novice last month (soft) but came up short upped in class at Punchestown earlier this month; tries a new trip here and possibly vulnerable to some proven stayers. |

10st 13lb |
Useful hurdler won his chasing debut at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in January, staying on well; soundly beaten over 2m1f here next time (heavy); gave 5lb to Raglan Road when 7l behind that rival at Down Royal last time (2m5f, good to yielding); more needed. |

Useful hurdler won on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft) in January, staying on well; soundly beaten upped to 2m4f in stronger race at Punchestown latest, weakening late on; could rebound in these calmer waters. |

Has put up several solid efforts in defeat over hurdles, with the best at Leopardstown during Christmas 2024 when beaten a head over 2m4f; failed to see out 3m at Fairyhouse on latest; drop in trip may help on chase bow. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 10lb |
One of eight for trainer; point and bumper winner two seasons ago and won his maiden hurdle here early last year (2m4f, heavy); much improved display, compared to poor opening chase start here, when successful at Fairyhouse in January (2m1f, yielding), beating a better-fancied stablemate; had the run of things when third of five in a Navan Grade 3 novice last time. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Point and bumper winner two seasons ago; won a Punchestown maiden hurdle (2m3f, heavy) early last year before being tailed off in the Albert Bartlett; lack of stamina probably a significant factor in a poor chasing at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy); much more like it when making all and jumping well to beat a shorter-priced stablemate over 2m1f at Fairyhouse. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; cost 300,000GBP after winning a point; followed up in a Gowran bumper (2m2f, heavy); took a Punchestown maiden hurdle on third attempt over timber (2m3f, heavy); made an inauspicious start to chasing career at Punchestown last month when tailed off (2m7f, heavy); surely better than that and Townend rides. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Went 0-7 over hurdles but has soon raised his profile over fences, winning well at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) and third in a Grade 2 at Punchestown; outstayed over C&D latest when 6.5l off Flicker Of Hope, so has a bit to do despite being 3lb better off with that rival. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but in the first three on five occasions and rated 120; testing ground fine and stamina not in question but lacks a run and wears a tongue tie for the first time so probably best watched in first chase. |

Won off 7lb lower at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March for this rider; pulled up at Fairyhouse on penultimate but back on track when a 4l second of 14 at Kilbeggan latest; looked as though further would suit last time and he's interesting upped in trip; rain would be a negative. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |

Weak form over fences until coming good at Leopardstown early this month, with the returning Favori Logique in third; something amiss at Fairyhouse last time, never in contention and pulled up; 5lb higher than for Leopardstown win; could bounce back to form; 7lb claimed. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Navan bumper winner in March 2024; lost form after a promising third in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle last March; weak form over fences until coming good with a Leopardstown defeat of today's rival Lisleigh Lad; 6lb higher now but holds a big chance for last year's winning jockey and multiple champion point-to-point rider Maxine O'Sullivan. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 5lb |
Made amends for a fall on his chasing debut with wins in a beginners' event at Punchestown and Naas Grade 3 (extended 3m, heavy); struggled in the Brown Advisory and didn't land a blow (mistakes) when remote fourth in 3m5f Irish National last time; jumping still needs attention. |

Winner of both completed chase starts, including in slow-motion finish to Naas Grade 3 in January (extended 3m, heavy); will stay but has more to find on ratings than most and bulk of his form has come on testing ground. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |

Decent novice hurdler last season but came up short at Grade 1 level; faller on chase debut at Punchestown last month but landed 3m beginners there later in month albeit task made considerably easier by two high-profile fallers; sole runner for top yard so respected, but suspicion is he'll have to improve a fair bit to play a major role; goes on heavy. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Two wins when trained in Germany but yet to get his head in front on these shores; handicapper giving him a chance but soundly beaten on last two starts over hurdles and on the Flat and needs to leave those efforts well behind; best watched after break. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |

Dual Flat winner in Germany; out of depth in hot Flat handicaps at Galway Festival last twice; good effort on last start over timber at Fairyhouse in April (2m, sft-hvy); raised 4lb for that 2.25l third and might prefer softer ground. |
7/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
