28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for yard; smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; didn't get home up the Cheltenham hill in the Supreme last time; this track should suit better; preferred by Kennedy and big chance if cutting out the jumping errors. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Appears to act on any ground; good fifth in the Champion Bumper at this meeting last year then might have won at Punchestown but for hanging badly left; sold for £410,000 at the David Maxwell dispersal in October; clumsy at the final flight in both attempts over hurdles, causing him to stumble and fall when looking the likely winner at Leopardstown but getting away with it and comfortably beating his rivals at Thurles (2m); not without his flaws but has a big engine and brings serious potential to this return to Cheltenham. |
7/1 |

1st 2 |
29th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 179y |
11st 12lb |
Recruited for 200,000euros after winning a point; smart bumper form last season for Gary & Josh Moore, fifth in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and runner-up at Punchestown; bought for £410,000 at Cheltenham in October; would have been an easy winner on hurdle/yard debut at Leopardstown but stumbled and fell after jumping the last; Supreme second favourite is impossible to oppose. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Smart in bumpers and getting there over hurdles after digging deep for a successful handicap debut under Jack Stenhouse at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft); 7lb rise seems harsh enough but he'll probably improve again for going 3m. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; handicap debutant who looks particularly well treated on his strong bumper form; has gradually found his feet since switched to hurdles and latest effort, namely solid second over 2m3f at Taunton, has received a couple of boosts; interesting contender. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 9 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish bumper winner on Boxing Day 2024; ran well in hot bumpers at Aintree and Punchestown festivals for new stable last spring but disappointed (albeit in a Grade 2) on hurdle debut in October and was just a respectable fourth at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; still has potential but needs to take a good step forward here. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 7lb |
Bumper winner; off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles in a Limerick maiden (2m3f, soft) in March, winning by 8.5l; that form has taken some knocks since and opening mark doesn't look overly generous; probably best watched in first handicap. |
12/1 |

1st 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Easy debut bumper winner has struggled to make the breakthrough over timber; 8-11 runner-up at Cork for hurdling debut when pulling clear with Lord Rouge (subsequent Grade 3 winner); well beaten at Leopardstown over Christmas (2m5f, good to yielding); 10-11 favourite at Punchestown last time when runner-up behind Ksar Fatal after suffering some interference (pair well clear); can get his win here. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for yard; bright start over timber, winning a C&D maiden (heavy) and beating Blake by a head in the Royal Bond; limitations seemingly exposed in Grade 1 company on his next three runs but back on song with a Grade 2 win at Fairyhouse last time (left in lead after Blake fell at the last); wouldn't want the track to dry out too much. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Has failed to make an effective transition to Grade 1 company in three attempts since in Grade 2 Royal Bond C&D victory over Blake in November; around 2l behind fellow outsider Too Bossy For Us (sixth) when eighth in the Supreme Novices'. |
13/2 |

8th 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Proved useful in bumpers but is held by a couple of today's rivals on Punchestown festival running; form over hurdles (kept to 2m) features a narrow success in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse and respectable fourth in steadily run Grade 1 at Leopardstown, sandwiching a Christmas flop that is best forgiven (bled from nose); however, may lack the class needed for this assignment. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point and bumper winner; second on hurdling debut at the Listowel festival; made all for 8l Galway maiden win in October (2m); jumped well when same tactics employed to win a rated event over an extended 2m4f at Fairyhouse in November; lack of a recent run is a mild concern. |

Won a point-to-point and added a Limerick bumper in March (yielding); struggled at Punchestown afterwards but reappeared last month with good hurdling debut effort when chasing home an odds-on shot in Listowel auction maiden (good-to-yielding); major player. |

Gowran bumper winner last season for Willie Mullins; reappeared for current yard in February to lower the colours of a Mullins-trained odds-on shot in 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle, that runner-up subsequently a good winner at Limerick; exciting prospect, one for the shortlist. |

1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 94y |

Useful bumper winner; has been brought along steadily in this sphere, a patiently ridden seventh in 1m4f Kempton novice 26 days ago; looks capable of a fair bit better now going handicapping and not without interest. |
