3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 60y |
11st 9lb |
His last race over hurdles was winning this last year when staged at Tipperary, since when he's produced some notable performances on the Flat, including competitive shows in recent 1m4f Group 3s; as 12 months ago, when favourite, he looks the one to beat. |

9st 9lb |
Smart dual-purpose sort has won four races apiece over hurdles and on the level; was a close third to stablemate Ethical Diamond in the Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes over C&D last time, 1l behind Green Impact; can run well again but needs more to win. |

150-rated hurdler; has done well on AW, notching two emphatic wins at Dundalk before excellent second in 1m2f Newcastle handicap on Good Friday; never threatened in Royal Ascot's Wolferton Stakes; not in the same league as stablemate Ethical Diamond. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 13lb |
Improver in Naas handicaps over the winter on testing ground, winning 2m4f novice contest and only caught late in 3m1f Leinster National off 132 (clear of remainder); didn't appear to stay 3m5f of Irish National latest but definite contender back in trip here if handling quicker conditions. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 6lb |
Hurdles winner didn't show much in opening chase runs, but there were signs of promise in his third of 11 on handicap chase debut here in January (2m4f, heavy); well backed in a Listed handicap here recently, landing the gamble by 0.5l (2m4f, heavy); up 7lb, but he made a number of jumping errors so there's scope for improvement; top chance if this trip doesn't cause any issues; the choice of Mark Walsh. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

1-4 over hurdles and rated 130 in that sphere; some promise in his chasing debut on seasonal return here (2m, soft) but tailed off next two times; stayed on to take third in the final strides over C&D last time (heavy); interesting that from the five McManus runners, he's the pick of Walsh. |

Her three hurdle wins includes a Listed hurdle at this meeting last year; hasn't matched that form in five starts over fences yet but is capable of better and returning to this track may help. |

Bumper winner; 128-rated hurdler, three wins including 2m1f Listed mares' event at Killarney last May; highly tried in chases so far; will find this assignment easier than when behind Jade De Grugy in 2m5f course Grade 2 in January; shortlisted. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |

Found things too demanding in the Grand Annual, and has been campaigned ambitiously overall since a Fairyhouse beginners' win last October; will be more at home in this company. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Won on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in October and very creditable second in quality novice over this C&D (good to soft) 13 days later; well beaten both starts since but they have been on testing ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now he's back on a better surface. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two-time novice hurdle winner who ran well in defeat this term on two of his first three chase starts (1m7f/2m, soft/good) and is on a handy mark on that form; he's struggled on his last two runs and has something to prove but perhaps the wind op and first-time cheekpieces will make a difference. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Has two pieces of encouraging form since switched to fences, including a Newbury effort (2m) that suggests he should be suited by 2m4f; disappointing favourite (looked beaten when falling) at Wetherby last time but it's difficult to write off this low-mileage 8yo, who represents last year's winning stable. |
11/1 |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low mileage on the clock for this two-time heavy-ground hurdle winner who is improving; close third on his chase debut here (1m7f, soft); still in it at Aintree next time (2m4f, soft) when a mistake two out cost him; career-best effort latest at Newbury (2m; good); big player back up in trip. |

Useful Flat performer, six wins, including two Listed and the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot, rated 108 at his peak; maiden hurdle winner 12 months ago, best effort when third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Irancy in a 2m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter; struggled over a longer tip in a Punchestown Grade 1. |

11st 12lb |
Useful Flat performer who got his act together over hurdles when third (beaten roughly 2l) in the Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month, form that received a timely form boost on Tuesday with Grade 1 success for Irancy; quite possibly more to come at this trip (half-brother's best form at 2m4f) and not one to put a line through. |
