12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Finished third behind shorter-priced stablemates in last two outings and is again facing stronger candidates from his own yard, before even considering the many other dangers; overall record of just 2-15 reflects that he hasn't progressed as well as expected; 2lb out of the handicap. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Only 1-9 over hurdles and vastly inferior to stablemate Salvator Mundi in that discipline; his second run over fences was better than the first, beaten about 12l at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding); would have a chance if the yard's apparent main hope did fluff his lines. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
9yo who is well related (half-brother to Kildisart and The Big Breakaway) but very lightly raced for his age; remote second of 17 at Navan (3m, heavy) in his first handicap chase, which he followed with much better form to win 13-runner Dublin National at Leopardstown (3m4f, yielding to soft) last time, scooting just over 6l clear on the run-in; has a much higher British mark today but also untapped potential and he's one to consider. |

Not much mileage on the clock for a 9yo; Limerick maiden hurdle winner in April (3m, good); stepped up to 3m for first time over fences for handicap chase debut at Navan last time when keeping on well for second behind 22l winner Rokathir (followed up next time); had So They Tell Me 0.5l behind and Gringo d'Aubrelle a further 8l back that day; player. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |

Consistent form in Ireland this season for Donncha Duggan features three summer wins; absent since finishing second in Listed novice event at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) five months ago; appears to have a stiffer task on debut for new connections but market support should be noted. |

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. |

0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in four of last five starts; runner-up at Navan last time upped to 2m6f, not staying as truly as the winner; up another 2lb for not winning but should be thereabouts once again. |

0-9 over hurdles but has been in the frame in three of his last four starts; beaten 8.5l when runner up over 2m4f (sft-hvy) here last month; should be in the mix again off 1lb higher but has room to improve in the jumping department. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount. |

Bumper winner; off the mark at the eighth attempt over hurdles in a maiden here in November (2m6f, sft-hvy); followed up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, gd-yld) in December; raised 7lb and pulled up in Listed handicap at the DRF on latest but 3m on heavy may have stretched him; could rebound dropped in trip; tongue tie added. |
25/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |

Took eight attempts to get off the mark over hurdles; won 2m6f Punchestown maiden in November and backed that up, again under today's rider, when taking 2m5f handicap here last month in first-time cheekpieces, making much of running (Saint Le Fort third, Wendrock fifth); 7lb rise for that makes this a lot tougher and steps up in trip. |
