11st 10lb |
Won the Grade 1 novice here last year, beating stablemate Ballyburn; has experienced a torrid campaign after starting off with a second placing over 2m; remote seventh behind Fact To File in the Irish Gold Cup; not a bad effort in the Grand National; making up the numbers here. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The furthest he's been is 3m1f in Grade 1 novice at Punchestown Festival (good to yielding) last April which he won in good style, showing improved form; went close over 2m in November and although he slipped up next time and met with heavy defeats twice since, he went well enough to the home turn in Irish Gold Cup on latest; whether he'll stay 4m2f is a big question but he could outrun his odds for a long way. |

11st 10lb |
Grade 1 novice hurdle winner came back from a long absence last season; won three races as a novice chaser, notably a Grade 1 win at Punchestown over 3m1f; a fine second to the 11lb-receiving Only By Night over 2m at Naas on return; clipped heels and unseated rider early on in the Savills; race may have come too soon when disappointing at Tramore four days later. |

11st 12lb |
Physically imposing sort; placed twice in point-to-points; caused major upset with 150-1 Leopardstown beginners' win (2m1f, good to yielding) on rules debut in December; set a tough task in the Irish Arkle at the DRF but ran respectable in the circumstances; no match for Champ Kiely when runner-up in Navan Grade 3 over 2m in March; unlikely winner. |

Dual hurdles winner with his last win coming in December 2023; reverts to hurdles, having been chasing in recent times with little success; finished a 13.5l fifth at Punchestown in June (2m3f, good to yielding) off 116 when last seen in this sphere; others preferred. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f) in the autumn; returned with a lesser effort in February and fell when last in action but remains unexposed over 3m; sports first-time cheekpieces for hurdling debut; could have a say. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins in the autumn (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft); returned from short break with lesser effort last month but he's very unexposed as a stayer and further progress remains possible if he's back on song here. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed little in Ireland but has thrived since joining this stable, winning under Tom Broughton on all three starts (2m4f/2m5f), on ground no worse than good to soft; more needed off 4lb higher and the ground is likely to be on the soft side, but still the one to beat. |
