21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |
11st 5lb |
Handicap hurdle winner here in January 2024 (3m, heavy); some good runs in defeat over fences last season, filling the frame in three of his four runs inc' here off 1lb higher (2m5f, soft to heavy); returned from just over a year off at Navan last time when never better than midfield and pulled up; can get involved if back to his best but a bit to prove now. |

8th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Won 3m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two seasons ago; showed signs of developing into a consistent handicap chaser last winter; off for a year but could feature if returning in peak form; arguably the most appealing of three runners for his trainer. |
8/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |
6/1 |

3rd 11 |
13th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Back-to-back h'cap chase winner in October on good to yielding; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three recent runs over hurdles; probably wouldn't have done better than fourth when faller at Clonmel last time; has his chance again but inability to win over timber to date is worrying. |

5th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 55y |

Two point-to-point wins last season and twice runner-up on track at Cork, notably recent 2m4f beginners when up with pace throughout in finishing second (nose ahead of Mighty Oak Lad), having pecked at the last; handles heavy and could go well here on handicap debut. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
12st 1lb |
Dual hurdles winner; gained first chase success at Killarney (20.5f, good to yielding) when keeping on well to score by 0.5l; now 7lb higher but this represents an ease in grade and he's ground versatile. |
5/2 |

1st 11 |
11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
10st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-8 over fences; still made favourite last time at Thurles (2m5f) and might have threatened but for a late mistake; considered, though softer ground is probably his preference. |
7/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 145y |

Wins were gained back-to-back in April 2024; looks interesting off his lower chase mark after a fine second in a 24-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
Fourth of 20 over hurdles on his penultimate start before a lesser show here over 2m6f; didn't run well in his last handicap chase either so not hard to have some reservations. |
12/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 185y |

Point-to-point winner yet to score under Rules; solid fourth at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld) on latest; nudged up 1lb for that and drops in trip; claims if he can back that up but that's not guaranteed. |

Ex-Irish; has made a bright start in points for his current trainer, winning twice last month under Heidi Palin; races prominently and should give a good account. |

27th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 2f 198y |

Five wins under Rules, with four coming at this venue; has won the last two renewals of this race, on good and gd-yld, but handles softer conditions; below best when last seen in December but goes well fresh and return to his favourite track could spark a revival; dangerous to dismiss. |

Progressive 3m handicap hurdler in 2023-24 season on soft/heavy, winning once at Punchestown off 89; chasing career hasn't gone to plan and was pulled up reverted to hurdles at Limerick on his penultimate run (3m, soft to heavy); best watched until he shows some spark. |

11st 0lb |
Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |

Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott is 0-7 over fences; in poor form when last seen in June 2025 and is now with a new yard; best watched for now. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y |

Maiden has yet to really make an impact in handicap chases; fifth and fourth the last twice but beaten 18l and 28l respectively; down another 2lb but might need a little bit more respite from the handicapper. |
