2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
11st 9lb |
Won Grade 1 Juvenile at the DRF last season; below best first three starts this season but better effort when a 7.5l third of 18 in Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest (2m, yld-sft); same mark here but stamina to prove for this longer trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler last season; sustained an injury over the summer and has posted decent RPR's in three defeats since returning at Christmas, latest when 10th of 23 in County Hurdle after not clear run (only 1l behind Karbau); more needed but don't rule out. |

This useful Flat performer was a Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler last season; sustained an injury over the summer but there's been enough in two comeback runs at Leopardstown this winter (seventh to Bowensonfire in handicap latest) to think he retains his ability; not discounted. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Yard runs three; well beaten in Listed races last autumn but, fit from hurdling, made a good Flat return when second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) at the end of March; that was both her Flat handicap debut and the furthest she's been in this sphere, which opens up possibilities for her as a Flat stayer. |

2nd 7 (10) |
30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Dual-purpose; hacked up in a maiden hurdle here last month (2m, heavy); struggled on last three Flat starts in listed company in the autumn but might be a different proposition now tried in a handicap off what could be a workable mark; big player. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Flat winner; runner-up in a juvenile Grade 1 contest (2m, soft) at Leopardstown at the Dublin Racing Festival last season; made little impact in three Flat Listed runs before taking the second spot back over hurdles at Limerick in December when 6-4 fav' (2m4f, heavy) (winner was subsequently second in a Grade 3); well beaten in a Listed handicap at Leopardstown last time (2m2f, heavy); thereabouts again. |

10st 9lb |
Dam half-sister to high-class hurdler Quevega; won in September on her only start in France; stuck to her task admirably at the finish when placed behind Hello Neighbour at Leopardstown in both her races for new connections, short-headed in a Grade 2 on first occasion and one and a half lengths down in a steadily run Grade 1 last time; seemingly the pick (Townend rides) of the Mullins multitude and a greater stamina test here should suit. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
French debut winner; has some useful form in defeat since, notably his fourth in a Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m, soft) in February, but he needs to bounce back from a poor run in the Triumph at Cheltenham and Paul Townend sides with Murcia. |
16/1 |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Ex-French; turned over at 1-4 on yard debut in December (Grade 3) before two supporting roles when hooded (also tongue tied latest) in better races at Leopardstown won by Hello Neighbour; 18-1, held up last in only a partially successful attempt to settle him on latest outing but he ran on into fourth of eight in that steadily run Grade 1, his best form; better may be possible in different circumstances, such as a more strongly run race here. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Two wins over hurdles in France on heavy ground; yet to hit the target for this yard; beaten off 136 in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Punchestown on last two starts; should make a chaser on breeding, but has to prove he acts on good ground. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |

Two-time winner on heavy in France is 0-7 for Willie Mullins; below best first two runs this season but more like it at Fairyhouse on latest when staying on for a 7.5l fourth over 2m (yld-sft); same mark here, forecast rain a positive and this trip should suit; interesting. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Two hurdle wins in France in spring 2024; yet to score for Willie Mullins in six attempts but set some stiff tasks, most recently didn't seem to stay 2m5f of Coral Cup at Cheltenham; return to 2m may suit but yard look to have stronger contenders. |

Front-runner; progressed well last winter on soft/heavy, winning over 2m at this venue and ending campaign with a brace of 2m Naas wins, second occasion with 11l win in Grade 3 Juvenile Hurdle; below best in between when unable to dominate in Grade 1 Leopardstown event; takes on his elders for the first time now. |

11st 5lb |
Only 1-10 over hurdles but shaped very well, making eye-catching late headway from a difficult position, in Listed handicap at Leopardstown (good to yielding; penultimate start) on sole 2m4f attempt and only outing under Carl Millar; good sixth, staying on, in the Fred Winter over 2m at this meeting last year; interesting contender who has potential at this trip. |

Useful juvenile last season but yet to prove he's trained on, most recently set plenty to do when strong-finishing fifth of 16 (to Champagne Kid) over 2m5f here at Christmas; interesting now upped in trip. |

Back to life when seventh in the Martin Pipe (2m5f, soft) at Cheltenham after not getting the clearest run and built on that to win by 3.25l at Cork (2m3f, yielding) under a claimer; Townend takes over now and she looks like a mare on an upward curve having disappointed earlier in her career. |

Had been below her best in first two starts this term but came back to life when not getting the best of runs in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; same rider aboard; has to be on the shortlist. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |

Campaigned only at about 2m; disappointing mare who has unconvincing form figures since scoring easily on debut for Willie Mullins; posted duck eggs in competitive handicaps at Leopardstown on last two outings; new trip needs to make a big difference. |
