10st 4lb |
Impressed in winning handicap chases at Naas (yielding) and Clonmel (yielding to soft) and had jumped well out in front before falling late on at Navan (2m7f), where he was headed but boxing on; expect another positive ride back at this distance. |

10st 12lb |
Three wins over hurdles; placed in six consecutive attempts over fences between May 2024 and March 2025; fine second in Listed novice handicap chase at Navan in March; had a possible excuse (skin scrapes) when beaten favourite at Kilbeggan in June; trip-versatile. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 3lb |
1-35 over hurdles with the win coming at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); some placed efforts over fences following that but tailed off over hurdles at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); hard to be confident in given her overall profile. |

1-34 over hurdles and 0-12 over fences; hard to be confident with that profile, though she has made the frame in five of her last six outings; career highlight when beating Katie's Kasper over 3m at Kilbeggan in May. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f, good, OR 77) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f, good, OR 75); disappointed off his new mark in a 3m1f chase here 13 days ago when last of four and tailed off in the four-runner field; needs to bounce back. |

Was a comfortable winner over fences at Limerick and hurdles at Tramore on last two starts in May; is now 12lb higher in this sphere but has to be feared if coming here in similar form. |

Jumps and travels well but is a weak finisher with a good few seconds to his name; positive is that his sole chase win came after four months off and ground will suit, but seems best right-handed. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Won off 110 at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; best run since on latest at Kilbeggan when a 2.75l second off 115 (20.5f, yielding); up 2lb for that and has placed at around this trip over hurdles; in the mix. |

Point winner didn't win in 10 hurdle starts but was often placed, including at this track; off the mark over fences when winning at Limerick in May; beaten 14l off this mark over C&D last time and needs more. |

3-22 over fences (including a 2m win here); back from 114 days off with respectable run at Downpatrick on latest (19.5f, good); sharper for that but probably not much margin for error off current mark. |

Three-time chase winner went close over hurdles twice over 2m at Thurles in November on different ground; no impression at Leopardstown over Christmas; unseen since pulled up back over fences at Thurles in February; has won following a similar break before but never from a mark this high, albeit rider's claim helps; trainer also runs Magic Day. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 6lb |
In flying form this season, winning his first three starts, two over fences before hurdle win at Punchestown off 90; bad mistake two out when fourth in Listed chase at Naas on latest and the winner since finished second in the Leinster National; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |
8/1 |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
In flying form this season, winning all three of his starts; took a Clonmel handicap (2m5f, good to yielding) chase in October and followed up back there next time (2m1f, soft); exploited lower hurdles mark at Punchestown last month (2m3f, heavy); this is harder but he's in good form. |
