4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
C&D maiden winner has won Punchestown and Thurles novices since; fine efforts in defeat in two novices and a Fairyhouse handicap last three starts up to 2m7f; has won on good ground, so no fears in that respect, and looks the one to beat. |
10/11 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles, a maiden and two novices, the most recent at Thurles in February (20.5f, soft); last two runs have come at that venue, a close third in a Grade 3 and a good second behind a 146-rated chaser in a conditions hurdle; has not fared well in previous handicap runs but respected. |

Won Down Royal maiden and Punchestown novice hurdle last summer; easy winner of course novice last month; beaten only 1.5l in course Grade 3 under Jack Kennedy two weeks ago; 5lb claimer offsets some of the burden here conceding plenty of weight to the field; contender. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 0lb |
Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps in 2024 at Roscommon and Galway (off 70); came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and ran well in novice events both starts afterwards; returns from a further 9 months' absence but goes well fresh. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps on the Flat last year; came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown and a fine effort in a Listed novice at Galway since, both approx' 2m; should appreciate this longer trip and be involved. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Decent Flat handicapper, scoring over 1m4f at Roscommon and here last season; returned from 298-day absence to land 2m1f Bellewstown maiden hurdle early this month in good style; should handle this step up in grade. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Good start for Olly Murphy when showing a smart turn of foot to win Grade 2 Persian War (novice) at Chepstow (2m3f, good; hooded) in October; hasn't reproduced that in his two subsequent starts, latest when well beaten behind Wilful on Ascot handicap debut, but given a break (had wind surgery) and returns with a tongue-tie added. |

11st 5lb |
Never that dangerous in three Irish bumpers but has improved for hurdles, doubling his tally in a 2m Listed race on good ground at Galway's feature summer fixture; posted an eyecatching RPR and has since joined Olly Murphy who fits a hood; respected. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 6lb |
Stepped up in trip to win 2m4f Listowel maiden in May (good) and better form week later in 2m1f Punchestown novice when staying-on second to Timeless Treaty, having been slowly away; probably wants a stiffer test so a strong pace would suit. |

10st 6lb |
Hasn't added to Punchestown maiden win (2m3f, good) of last summer, decent second to Grann's Boy at Listowel but never counting behind Duke Silver over just shy of this trip here at Christmas; questions to answer. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Lightly raced 5yo won a 2m3f Punchestown maiden in June (gd-yld); came up short when last of seven in a listed hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good) on latest; back up in trip for handicap debut and has to be respected for top yard. |

11st 12lb |
Beaten at short odds on debut in a bumper at this venue two years ago; won over hurdles at Roscommon last summer after a break; runner-up in a Listed novice here later that month, beaten by the subsequent County Hurdle second Sticktotheplan; ran out of steam on his reappearance in a 3m1f chase at Punchestown last month; likely to be at peak form now. |

Galileo gelding out of the very talented Vroum Vroum Mag was beaten at short odds in a bumper at last year's festival and absent until ready winner of 2m5f Roscommon opportunity maiden hurdle early this month, tending to jump left; back in trip here and part of a really strong Willie Mullins' team here. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 186y |
11st 3lb |
Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival. |

5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected. |

Second runner for yard; dual hurdle winner is rated 123 in that sphere; fine efforts in both chase starts including when just behind stablemate Future Prospect at Wexford last time; her previous Killarney run was over 2m5f so this trip should be fine; big player. |
2/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Second runner for yard; bumper and dual hurdle winner wasn't at her best on last two 2025 hurdle runs; returned from an absence with a sound chasing debut at Killarney in May; should be better for that and looks a big player. |
2/1 |

3rd 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Bumper winner in 2024 won twice over hurdles last summer but wasn't at her best on last two 2025 runs; however, she is a quality sort and can go well fresh so is respected on chase bow. |
