14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 22y |
11st 11lb |
Hasn't really threatened over fences or over hurdles this year; beaten 12l when fourth at Listowel on latest; dropped another 2lb and blinkers now tried; others make more appeal. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Better over fences than hurdles and hasn't been overly threatening in this discipline in last three races; can look a hard ride at times. |

Better chaser than hurdler; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark in races at Wexford (behind Mercury Mission) and Sligo in recent weeks; others preferred. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 6lb |
Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 2-14 over hurdles, the latest win coming off 5lb lower at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October; not a bad run when fading in the closing stages at Punchestown latest (23.5f, yielding) after a break; sharper now, this shorter trip a plus and has run well here on the Flat; in the mix. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 3lb |
Three-time Flat winner won his second hurdle race at Gowran over 2m4f last October but was pulled-up at this track next time; poor on the Flat latest; others make more appeal |
33/1 |

Three-time Flat winner added his second hurdles win with a hard-fought victory at Gowran (2m4f) in October; makes AW debut now after being pulled up over hurdles at Punchestown when last seen; 4lb above last Flat winning mark but not ruled out. |

10st 7lb |
Won three consecutive handicaps last summer up to 2m4f for Donncha Duggan; some fine runs in defeat after including since switched to this yard; has to prove he stays this trip. |
28/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |
33/1 |
|
11th 19 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent form in Ireland this season for Donncha Duggan features three summer wins; absent since finishing second in Listed novice event at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) five months ago; appears to have a stiffer task on debut for new connections but market support should be noted. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 12lb |
Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |

Eight wins in all codes and in varying ground conditions; not a bad debut run for this yard over hurdles and on the Flat since; is respected in this company. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 141y |

Veteran won this race for Noel Meade five years ago off 81 and last win came on Dundalk AW in February 2022; fair AW form last winter for the late Kevin Prendergast, reappearing for current yard when placed in 2m5f Sligo handicap hurdle last month; retains enthusiasm so can't be ruled out; first-time tongue-tie. |

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last summer (2m6f, good); not at the same level in four runs this year, finished 9l behind at Sligo most recently; needs to come back to form but top lady rider aboard. |

Record of 2-18 over hurdles; soild efforts in three starts in this sphere this year (pulled-up in a chase); has to do more on these terms but could run well. |

Locally-trained C&D winner off 3lb higher last April; probably needed the run on return from a break at Sligo latest; course form figures over timber on ground with good in description read 55142; big player. |

Gained his only hurdles win in this race a year ago, making all to win easily on good ground after 200 days off; trying to repeat that feat; also ran well here a couple of times in August before form tailed off. |
