13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
An up-and-coming 9yo with so few runs on the board; 2-4 in points and suffered his first defeat in hunter chases when a rallying third behind Its On The Line and Willitgoahead at Down Royal during the Christmas period; he was favourite that day; this greater emphasis on stamina promises to play to his strengths; good chance in first-time cheekpieces. |

Beat only two opponents at Knockanard and then finished alone at Ballyknock; however, was only beaten 2.5l by The Doyen Chief in his first point and the winner is now very useful for Alan King. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Mixed form in the top hunter chases last season; stand-out effort third behind Wonderwall and Its On The Line at Cheltenham; started this season brightly with second to Its On The Line at Down Royal; unseated mid-race at Thurles; pulled up at Cheltenham; major chance if he adapts to the demands of this circuit; cheekpieces fitted; good 7lb claimer. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Took form to new level in hunter chases last season and recruited by these connections prior to a staying-on third in this race; that campaign ended on a low note and, as in this last year, Its On The Line was ahead of him on his comeback at Down Royal; unseated mid-race last time; needs a career best but eight is no age in this discipline and he may have more to give. |

Won this race 12 months ago for Sean Doyle; made a fine start for Gordon Elliott when staying on for third in the Irish-dominated St James's Place at Cheltenham; in contrast, a tame effort and pulled up in the championship event at Punchestown; back near the top of his form when splitting Its On The Line and the smart Con's Roc at Down Royal; sets the standard. |

Nine-time point winner won three in a row earlier this year on heavy, claiming hurdles at Limerick and Naas plus a handicap chase at the former track; blowing hard after pulled-up in a Wexford novice last time; might find this trip sharp; blinkers. |

Prolific pointer is on a four-timer after notching up wins in claiming hurdles at Limerick (2m5f, heavy) and Naas (2m6f, sft-hvy) and a handicap chase at Limerick (2m7f, heavy); has to prove his effectiveness on better ground, however. |

Point-to-point winner; 0-9 in chases; went close over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in January; all five subsequent races have been at 3m or beyond; generally found wanting, but second to a stablemate over 3m2f at Down Royal in April was encouraging; absent since. |

Point-to-point winner is 0-8 in chases; went close at Fairyhouse off 3lb higher in January (2m5f, yielding to soft); weakened and beaten 22l in Ulster National at Downpatrick latest (28.5f, good); this easier but more needed. |
