31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose sort; a winner of six races on the Flat, including the Cork Derby on latest (1m4f, soft) on first run back after a break; 4-28 over hurdles and rated 120; makes a belated chase debut at the age of nine but not bred for this discipline; in good form right now though and can't be discounted. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m6f conditions race and two races over hurdles in 2025; lacks a recent outing and possibly more effective as a hurdler at this stage of his career. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Took him an age to get off the mark, but fine strike-rate under rules since the start of 2023, all five Flat wins coming over this trip and upwards, including readily beating Not Just Any Eagle 5l at Fairyhouse (1m6f) in July; tame effort on Wolverhampton AW later in month but still very much respected on return from a break. |

Much less exposed as a chaser than many of these and did well last season; won over this trip at Punchestown and creditable efforts last twice; likely to be handy and coming back to this trip might well be a plus. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 5lb |
Shed the maiden tag over fences at Punchestown (19.5f, yld-sft) in December off 6lb lower; not a bad run in listed novice handicap at Navan latest and this is much less demanding; seems best going right-handed so this track could suit; interesting. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |

Runner-up on return to action in November at Thurles (2m6f, good to yielding); went one better in a big field at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding to soft) getting off the mark over fences at the fourth attempt; disappointed at Musselburgh last time (3m, good to soft); 6lb higher compared to his win here and others make more appeal. |

10st 12lb |
Flat winner is 1-17 over hurdles, the win coming in a Sedgefield maiden on latest (2m4f, good); previously proved no match for Laughing John in a handicap at Wincanton and work to do to turn that form around in new headgear. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan; went too keenly on his first three outings for his current yard but bounced back to form when (refitted with tongue strap) third of 15 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 35 days ago; the clear form pick back in maiden company; headgear retained. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-15 over hurdles and needs to produce more than he's managed this term; however, his reduced mark appeals on his useful form up to last March and Harry Cobden is 4-9 this season for Faye Bramley, whose stable is in good form; no surprise to see a bold show now back in a handicap. |

Useful staying novice chaser last season, notably looking home and hosed until worn down late by Jumping Jet in this race off 128 (good); out of form over fences so far this season, never competitive at Punchestown last time; return to better ground should suit. |

Useful staying novice chaser last season; went close against Bushmans Pass in valuable Navan handicap and also second in Ulster National; jumping let him down on his first two starts of the winter before switching to hurdles for his last two hurdle starts; could go well for in-form trainer and talented 5lb claimer. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |
