20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Winning hurdler in Ireland and runner-up over hurdles on final run for the Twiston-Davies yard; back over fences (0-4) in two runs for Dan Skelton and didn't see either race out with much purpose (2m/2m1f), and those were after a wind operation; reservations for now and returning to further isn't an obvious positive. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Signed off for Twiston-Davies stable with creditable second behind a next-time-out winner over hurdles in May, having made the running in first-time cheekpieces; last throughout on stable debut without headgear in four-runner Newton Abbot chase this month but the cheekpieces are back on here and it will be interesting to see whether connections revert to more positive tactics. |

Recently sold out of the Twiston-Davies yard for £27,000 and has since had a wind operation; failed to fire in two previous chases but ran well in his final race over hurdles, beating all bar a talented and revitalised winner; he's of obvious interest. |

Has hit the frame in both handicap hurdle outings in 2025, the latest when runner-up at Cork beaten 2l in April; mixed signals on the strength of that form but fit after respectable Flat outing last month and feasibly treated on old form. |

Won around Sligo last year and handicap winner over this trip at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; also ran well when third at DRF; 2m6f was too far in the Galway Blazers, but fitter for that and this looks a good opportunity. |

Won twice over fences in 2025, most recently off 9lb lower at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding); has come up short in three starts since, weakening on latest when upped to 2m5f in the Topham at Aintree; stamina a query upped further in trip. |

Stamina to prove and he failed to threaten when ninth in the Grand Annual last month; however, Cheltenham may not be his track (also not at his best there last October) and he showed improved form to win a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; only seven and there have been hints that this sort of trip may suit; no surprise to see him go well. |

3-21 over hurdles, all three wins coming for Declan Queally; has run well in defeat for this yard, including a 3l third of 11 in a mares' handicap over 2m6f at Ballinrobe last autumn; has to bounce back from a disappointing run at the same venue recently. |

Impressive over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in December on second chase start; two lesser runs have followed in Grade 3s and there remains a question mark regarding stamina; however, Gordon Elliott and Rob James won this with a 7yo novice in 2020 and he's not ruled out in view of the Fairyhouse promise. |

Dual bumper winner and won once over hurdles; better chaser this term however, running away with 2m5f Fairyhouse novice last month (soft) but came up short upped in class at Punchestown earlier this month; tries a new trip here and possibly vulnerable to some proven stayers. |

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. |

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. |
