28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 9lb |
Back to form with a bang at Fairyhouse under this rider latest, winning by 5l with a few of these behind; a 9lb rise for that seems fair but overall profile suggests he's far from guaranteed to back that up; obvious chance if he does. |

Off the mark at second attempt in bumpers at Killarney last August; fine effort on return from a break to chase home an odds-on Mullins' favourite at Naas (15.5f, heavy); should be fine on this sounder surface and this longer trip will suit; leading chance. |

10st 13lb |
He was set to be the only Willie Mullins runner in last week's Scottish National but was withdrawn due to the heavy ground; 7yo who was delivered with what seemed a winning challenge under Patrick Mullins in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good; furthest he's been) six weeks ago only to find that Ask Brewster battled back; up 6lb but has to be in serious calculations. |
7/1 |

11st 0lb |
Pulled up over hurdles at Leopardstown (3m, heavy) last month and there's a stamina question to answer; however, his best form has come on good to soft ground over fences and the way he kept on for third at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December hints he may have potential over a staying trip. |

Beat some useful sorts when scoring in a rated hurdle here in November (20.4f, sft-hvy) but struggled in handicaps on next two starts and his third here on latest in February was a remote one; just 1lb lower now; others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

Took the scalps of Air Of Entitlement and Bacchanalian when scoring in a four-runner rated race over C&D (sft-hvy) in November; no show in handicaps twice since and failed to complete at Navan last time; eased 3lb and return to this track a plus but needs to rebound. |

11st 12lb |
Bumper winner on good to yielding; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 113; leading claims on the form of his maiden hurdle runs at Naas and Navan last year but bitterly disappointing in both starts in handicaps in 2026; huge chance if he can rediscover best but comes with risks attached. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Debut Bellewstown bumper winner in 2024 (2m1f, good to yielding); showed promise in a couple of maidens last season but returned from a 380-day absence for his first handicap at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding to soft) and was tailed off; may do better with that run under his belt; cheekpieces on. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Won Bellewstown bumper (good to yielding) last April; there's been sufficient promise in his maidens to believe he might be competitive off this sort of mark, though he has been absent for over a year and looks the yard second string on jockey bookings. |

Point-to-point winner; rated 130 over timber; got to within 1.75l of progressive Zanoosh on penultimate start in a handicap hurdle at Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy); bred for this game (dam a chase winner); this trip might be on the sharp side but can't dismiss. |

Quite lightly-raced 7yo with an upward profile, landing 2m4f Punchestown handicap on soft-to-heavy in November and fine run off 10lb higher over same trip at Navan a fortnight ago, finishing strongly to take third; step up in trip looks a wise move and likely improver. |

Maiden is rated 106 after four chase runs, the best of which was a 22l seventh in strong Fairyhouse beginners' chase in December (2m, soft, RPR 116); poor twice since over fences and hurdles but big claims on that Fairyhouse run in this company. |

Having finished second at Naas in April, won this off 4lb lower last year and was third at Roscommon next time; hasn't threatened since on softer terrain but decent ground is key to her and she might bounce back to form; usual rider has jumped ship to Shannon Bank, but sub isn't too shabby. |

His run at Ballinrobe last time (2m1f, good) when an 18.5l seventh at 200-1 is some of the best form in the field on RPRs; well beaten in starts prior to that; it's a weak race so perhaps he can be involved. |
