23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Hat-trick of chase wins last year, final leg coming at Gowran in October (2m4f, yielding); has pulled up on two of his three subsequent runs, including last time; a bit to prove now. |

Completed a hat-trick over fences in October but backward steps have followed; not disgraced in the Midlands National but needs to up his game here. |

10st 5lb |
Made winning return in 2m5f Cork handicap in November (yielding) and given winter off until not looking to stay 3m6f in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March; interesting contender back in trip here with ground to suit. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m6f at Limerick (good) in May and moving nearly 7l clear on the run-in over 2m5f at Cork (yielding) in November; the latter is easily his best form but his chase career began with a strong finish over an extended 3m1f last March, which sparks interest for this test. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
10st 8lb |
Has won over fences but returns to hurdling after two below-par performances and she was third at Wexford on final run over hurdles in May (2m4f, good to yielding); stays 3m; each-way claims. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |

Won three races last year, two of them over fences; put in a satisfactory display over hurdles at Wexford in May, on first outing after a break; kept on for fourth off her slightly higher chase mark at Roscommon last time; stays well. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
11st 8lb |
Winning chaser who is in a good run of form over hurdles and never far away when doing it decisively last time at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good to yielding); 6lb higher now but looks a good bet to give her running. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 208y |
11st 12lb |
Likeable type was dual-winning hurdler in 2024 (including C&D) and two chase wins last year; good third over hurdles at Killarney on penultimate (2m7f) in first-time cheekpieces; closely matched with Theflyingbee (second) and Camlin Park (fourth) when third at Downpatrick (2m6f) last month; in the mix. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Gained compensation for two narrow defeats when landing Thurles maiden hurdle in November (2m7f, good) against her own sex; that form has worked out well; below best in novice there when last seen but strikes as the type who will flourish over fences now. |
