14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Outran his odds when a closing fourth in last year's Champion Bumper; the form of his first two efforts in maiden hurdles were underwhelming and he offered little in a 2m6f Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival when behind Wingmen and Jasmin De Vaux. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 10lb |
Failed to win over hurdles, second in three of his six starts; has developed into a better chaser; bolted up at Fairyhouse, form franked by the second Moudan in winning at Ayr; 11lb rise means that he has plenty to find in a renewal of Leopardstown rivalry with Raffles Dolce Vita. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 0lb |
Maiden ran well in defeat over hurdles and pick of three efforts over fences on latest when chasing home an all-the-way winner in 2m1f Leopardstown beginners last month (yielding); worth a look on handicap debut. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount. |
10/1 |
|
9th 13 |
2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 6lb |
Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added. |
25/1 |
|

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 8lb |
Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip. |

11st 12lb |
Modest form in bumpers; jumping wasn't brilliant for his hurdles debut at Punchestown last month, beaten 17.5l into seventh of 19; should be capable of better at some stage and can't be dismissed in this company. |

Fair debut third in 2m maiden here in February and switched to bumpers on September return, shaping creditably when third at both Listowel and Sligo when ridden prominently; upped in trip here for hurdles return. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences. |
10/1 |

On a losing run but he got back on track with second of eight in 2m7f handicap at Bangor five days ago; now needs to back it up. |

2nd 2 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win over that C&D but he was soundly beaten at Market Rasen (2m4f) a fortnight ago and now has questions to answer again. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner; modest maiden over hurdles rated 103; rated 95 after three poor efforts over fences (pulled up, beaten 52l and pulled up); hard to fancy in this company. |

Point-to-point winner; 0-6 over hurdles and rated 103; pulled up and beaten 72l in Downpatrick maiden hunter chases the last twice; others make more appeal. |

Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan, Killarney and Sligo last summer; beaten almost 10l in third over C&D on handicap debut five weeks ago; should improve from the run, his first since last autumn. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |

Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m, good), Killarney (20.5f, yld-sft) and Sligo (20.5f, good) last summer; poor when last seen at Listowel in September and probably best watched after break in first handicap unless money comes. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 0y |

Point-to-point winner; consistent over hurdles in recent months, runner-up on three consecutive occasions; touched off when odds-on at Sligo last time, form due to be put to the test by the winner Sophia Rose in the 3.28 contest; officially rated 12lb inferior to Champagne Kid; has the advantage of race fitness. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
11st 9lb |
Gained her sole win at Listowel last summer (2m, good) off 89; didn't threaten in her runs on softer ground this year but bounced back to her best back at Listowel last time when a close second (2m, yielding); she finished third off 2lb higher in this race last year; in the mix. |

Having finished second at Naas in April, won this off 4lb lower last year and was third at Roscommon next time; hasn't threatened since on softer terrain but decent ground is key to her and she might bounce back to form; usual rider has jumped ship to Shannon Bank, but sub isn't too shabby. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Best form has come on good ground, including her sole win at Listowel in June off 89 (2m); ran well off 1lb higher at Roscommon next time when third (2m, good); hasn't run to the same level in four runs since (three on softer conditions); questionable as to whether this ground will be good enough but she's capable at her best. |
