4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time point-to-point winner (twice on heavy); 1-5 over hurdles; solid run on third chase start at Listowel in September (2m6f, gd-yld); rated 125 and a repeat of that last run may be enough to take this. |

On long losing run; pulled up on final start of last season and again on seasonal return at Fairyhouse in November; heavy defeat on his return from a 127-day break at Cork nine days ago; others appeal more. |

No win since October 2023; pulled up on final start of last season over C&D (soft) and similar outcome on seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse in November; off since and best watched for now. |

1-14 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m7f in October 2023 off 109; bounced back to form when a 4.75l second on latest over C&D good ground; that wasn't his first good run here but the forecast rain is a worry, place chance again if it misses. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 8lb |
Cork handicap hurdle winner (3m1f, soft) built upon a decent chasing debut to win a Fairyhouse novice chase by 14l next time (2m6f, yielding); looked bred to stay 3m2f trip in a Fairyhouse novice chase last time but weakened into third behind Rokathir and Maxi Mac Gold; based on that, drop to this trip seems the right move, and it's still early day over fences; interesting. |
7/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Fourth on chasing debut at Cork when 8-1, with Showurappreciation 19.5l behind him that day; sent off favourite in a novice contest here last time (2m5f, yielding) and won easily by 14l; he's closely related to Irish National winner Our Duke so should enjoy this trip and the ground should be no cause for concern either. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |
11st 9lb |
Winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in April (3m, soft) and made a positive start to his chasing career when fourth of 15 on seasonal return back at Cork in November (2m5f, yielding); strong in the market for the original fixture, so positive things are expected of him. |

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle (2m6f, heavy) on New Year's Day and handled good ground well when second in Thurles handicap over same trip; not sure if he stayed 3m at Cork last time. |

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, heavy) on New Year's Day but showed likeness for good ground when runner-up to the well-treated Rushmount at Thurles two weeks ago; big chance from same mark. |

Veteran is a three-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D on testing ground off 111 in March last year; 2lb higher now and has been mostly out of form since but he'll get his preferred underfoot conditions here; can't be dismissed. |

Won this race off a mark of 101 last year, her second hurdles score; however, she has been poor on her last three starts and cheekpieces need to spark a revival. |

Stayed well when winning a 2m7f handicap at Punchestown last winter; last month's seasonal debut at Tipperary was too bad to be true; needs to provide some reassurance now. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 11lb |
In fine form; won at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) in April; another good effort off 7lb higher mark at Cork (2m3f, good); step up in trip a plus; career-best needed off this mark; due to run here 5.35 Monday. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |

Made most to win decisively off 11lb lower at Tramore in April (2m5f, gd-yld); beaten 7l off revised mark at Cork 15 days ago (2m3f, good); step back up in trip a plus but this is a much deeper race; big career best needed. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Notched a second hurdles win at Tramore last time with a well-judged front-running ride from today's rider in first-time blinkers, winning easily by 13l; that success came against the tide of moderate form since her last win in 2024; likelihood is that she finds it hard to repeat the trick. |

11st 1lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a maiden at Fairyhouse in January (2m4f, soft); pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cork when last seen in March; rated 112 and this looks too big an ask on return. |
