20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 150y |
10st 10lb |
Has been hit and miss since winning over fences at Wexford last year and was disappointing when last seen at Kilbeggan in June so has to return to his best; second of three runners for yard. |
22/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Has run well but has ultimately come up short in three runs since winning at Wexford last July (2m, good); far from disgraced but still beaten 18l on latest in premier handicap at Aintree (2m, gd-sft) and same mark now; longer trip needs to eke out more (good chance will stay on breeding). |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Won Wexford handicap (2m, good) last July on third chase start and returned to form when third of 20 at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; needs a career best today but this unexposed 6yo represents a top Irish trainer (who saddles three) and could yet have more to offer. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |
12/1 |

4th 10 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |
11/2 |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Dual hurdles winner with his last win coming in December 2023; reverts to hurdles, having been chasing in recent times with little success; finished a 13.5l fifth at Punchestown in June (2m3f, good to yielding) off 116 when last seen in this sphere; others preferred. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner, latest at Stratford (extended 2m3f) in June, but 0-10 over hurdles; has left Shark Hanlon since a disappointing chase run at Uttoxeter last month but not out of this if reproducing his encouraging third off this mark at Market Rasen on penultimate start. |
6/1 |

8th 4 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A third win over fences at Stratford last month (extended 2m3f) and it was only five days later when he was third off his lower hurdle mark; had 21 days off since but is 3lb higher than at Stratford in a race that should take more winning. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A third win over fences at Stratford on Tuesday and he's 9lb lower for this return to hurdling (0-9); has to be of interest with trip/ground ideal. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 6lb |
In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

1st 3 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |

Likes a sharp 2m and good ground; first past the post against useful rival at Killarney in October and better for recent comeback; 2lb wrong and ground may not be dry enough. |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |
