25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 13lb |
Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace. |

Three wins apiece over hurdles and fences; was a 7l runner-up at Navan in a 2m4f handicap hurdle in November but pulled-up at Leopardstown next time; a squeak if back to form. |

Gained his third chase win in a Fairyhouse handicap (24.5f, yielding) three weeks ago; raised 5lb for that 1.5l victory so he'll need a career best to follow up off his new mark. |

11st 2lb |
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. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

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

Second for this rider when favourite for this race last season and a C&D winner for her last November; kept ticking over with a cross-country run and a hurdles outing in February; strong chance. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Won a handicap chase here (21.5f, yld-sft) off 107 in November; well beaten off revised mark in a Leopardstown handicap chase (24.5f, yielding) and midfield over the banks at Punchestown (3m1f, sft-hvy) last time; testing ground a concern on return to hurdling and 1lb wrong. |

Dropped away tamely in a 2m7f contest at Killarney last time; fair chance if replicating the form of previous Tipperary second over the same trip; cheekpieces on now as well as the usual tongue-tie. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Is 0-8 over fences but there were certainly signs she was getting the hang of things when beaten 3l at Tipperary earlier this month; up 2lb but a case can be made. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish mare who has been a bit up and down for Dan Skelton but did run well at Leicecster last time (2m4f, good to soft) given one notable mistake that she made; won't mind returning to further and off this mark she's entitled to have a major say. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
First three runs this season were solid, notably a win at Exeter (3m, good) in November followed by a close second over 2m4f at Cheltenham; disappointed at Hereford a week later, though, and pulled up on return from a two-month break 16 days ago, so now has something to prove; however, a bounce-back would not surprise. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Exeter (3m, good) in November on second stable start before close second of 15 to Party Vibes at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December; her run at Hereford seven days later may have come too soon (3m1f, soft; ground shouldn't have been an issue); remains of interest for top yard. |

Won over C&D on most recent start last month; beat Therellbguddaysyet on that occasion but was in receipt of 10lb; has shown a liking for soft ground so the likely conditions underfoot may disadvantage her but she is capable of running well at this track. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Highly progressive for new yard this season and has won handicaps on her last four hurdle starts (2m7f-3m1f, good-soft), most recently in comfortable fashion at Ludlow last month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but it remains to be seen where her limitations now lie. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |

3-7 for new stable since last summer, with one win gained over C&D (good) and the latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last month; this race is more competitive but she might still be on the upgrade. |
9/2 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on yielding ground in Ireland but her two hurdle wins (2m7f and 3m) in October were both on good ground and good to soft is probably as slow as she wants it; fell on her return to fences before Christmas and needs to justify a career-high mark, 7lb higher than her latest win. |
