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 Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 9lb |
Dual-purpose mare, whose only Flat win came in Leopardstown 3yo maiden (1m2f); in good form however this term in very competitive handicaps, second at Navan, close fourth of 15 in 2m2f Chester Cup and 4.5l off stablemate Kizlyar when seventh of 20 in 2m4f Ascot Stakes last month; bit to find with some of these now entering Group company but don't rule out. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) in March on Flat handicap debut; backed that up with her excellent, close fourth of 15 when third favourite for the Chester Cup (2m2f, good; 1lb higher today) in May, coming from towards rear after a slow start; has to be considered but such a wide draw may mean she again has to come from well back. |

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. |

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. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

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. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Showed useful form without winning over hurdles for Willie Mullins; left that yard for 64,000gns having finished fourth over fences at Ballinrobe in May but it was an inauspicious stable debut when tailed off in three-runner affair here (2m4f, good) 17 days ago; needs to leave that behind tackling 3m for the first time. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Willie Mullins without managing to add to his French wins; beaten favourite switched to fences last time (sold for 64,000gns since) but may improve with that experience under his belt and is interesting on debut for Faye Bramley, who has done well with recruits from other yards (including ex-Closutton runners). |

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. |

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. |

Useful juvenile hurdler the season before last; best run last term when fifth off 130 in 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas; tailed off over 3m1f on chase debut, but he's definitely not a two-miler either; headgear. |

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. |

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. |
