10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Stamina to prove and he failed to threaten when ninth in the Grand Annual last month; however, Cheltenham may not be his track (also not at his best there last October) and he showed improved form to win a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; only seven and there have been hints that this sort of trip may suit; no surprise to see him go well. |
25/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Switched to fences last August and he's been progressive, winning a competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December and solid third of 14 there (2m1f, soft) last month; today's likely return to better ground could be a plus and this 7yo remains open to further improvement; chance. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
1-10 over hurdles; already a much better chaser; won 2m2f Sligo beginners' event in October; struggled at Cheltenham later that month; slotted into handicap company effectively with a C&D win at Christmas at a time when the stable was generally struggling for form; can continue to improve; Thyestes-winning rider takes the sting out of 10lb rise. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner is 1-17 over hurdles, the win coming in a Sedgefield maiden on latest (2m4f, good); previously proved no match for Laughing John in a handicap at Wincanton and work to do to turn that form around in new headgear. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan; went too keenly on his first three outings for his current yard but bounced back to form when (refitted with tongue strap) third of 15 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 35 days ago; the clear form pick back in maiden company; headgear retained. |

3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-15 over hurdles and needs to produce more than he's managed this term; however, his reduced mark appeals on his useful form up to last March and Harry Cobden is 4-9 this season for Faye Bramley, whose stable is in good form; no surprise to see a bold show now back in a handicap. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner; has won two of his four chase starts (at 2m/2m1f on good to yielding and heavy) and had no realistic chance in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month, but he could have made a better impression with some of his jumping; this is a new test for him under rules but he should have the scope to do better back in a handicap; yard runs three. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner last season but then lost his form; has done well in three starts over fences; won a Killarney beginners' last August, 8l second in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October; handled heavy ground when beating subsequent winner Drumgill in a handicap at Gowran in November; useful sort but hardly in the same league as his two rivals. |

Point-to-point winner in 2023; yet to show any signs of winning potential in eight starts over hurdles; remote sixth at Fairyhouse nine days ago. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
11st 8lb |
1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 150y |
11st 2lb |
Hit the crossbar a lot of times in maiden hurdles before finally off the mark at Gowran this time last year (2m, good); solid handicap run following that; made debut over fences at Killarney back from a break last month when sent off favourite but a well beaten second; there was promise in that run and likely improvement to come. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Is 1-9 over hurdles, scoring at Gowran last October and a solid handicap run next time; has also been placed at this track; chasing debut after a break; could run well. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |

Maiden in all spheres was pulled-up on return/handicap bow at Tramore last time and is 1lb out of the handicap; not a lotg of appeal. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |

0-11 in points; weak form in beginners' chases; transformation needed on handicap debut; that seems unlikely at the age of ten. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |

Two-time winner over hurdles; rated 12lb lower over fences and deservedly so on the book; remains capable of much better. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 4lb |
Two-time winning hurdler rated 10lb higher in that sphere but that is for a reason; heavy defeats in all five chase starts and best form on good ground so the forecast rain is a worry; others appeal more. |
18/1 |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Useful hurdler, latest win came off 124 in handicap at Downpatrick in June; nothing of real note in five chase starts since, well beaten over 3m at Down Royal 195 days ago; needs a lot more after break, but hasn't been out of the first three in as many starts here. |
