24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 7lb |
Won around Sligo last year and handicap winner over this trip at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; also ran well when third at DRF; 2m6f was too far in the Galway Blazers, but fitter for that and this looks a good opportunity. |

6th 1 |
31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 13lb |
Won twice over fences in 2025, most recently off 9lb lower at Leopardstown in December (2m1f, yielding); has come up short in three starts since, weakening on latest when upped to 2m5f in the Topham at Aintree; stamina a query upped further in trip. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles, the win gained from the front in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) in April; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently on last three hurdling starts and was well beaten on the Flat last month but has slipped to a good mark. |
14/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won 3yo maiden at the Curragh in 2023 but he hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years and an ordinary strike-rate over hurdles in the meantime suggests he'll struggle off his current mark back at this game. |
25/1 |

7th 4 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
1-19 over hurdles, the win gained from the front at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in April; below that form when fifth of six in recent 2m Uttoxeter handicap, though, and others in this field have much more potential. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Won two of his first five races over fences; ran a fine race when 10l fourth in the 2m4f Plate at the Cheltenham Festival, form worthy of being upgraded as he was hampered on a couple of occasions; turned the tables on the Cheltenham runner-up Will The Wise when a staying-on fifth in the Galway Plate; made a couple of errors; could be a big player over this longer trip. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 |
29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 2lb |
Absent for 141 days but returns with his yard in great form; only had five runs over fences, winning twice and better than ever when a 10l fourth in the 2m4f Plate at the Cheltenham Festival; that form can be upgraded as he was hampered on a couple of occasions and has a useful pull in the weights with runner-up Will The Wise; yet to tackle this far under rules but he won a 3m point; tempting. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 |
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. |

Point-to-point winner in 2023; poor hurdles form; has struggled in two outings over fences. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 150y |

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. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 125y |
11st 1lb |
Some decent novice form and won beginners' chase over 2m at Roscommon (novicey jumping); often prominent, or leads, but settled well when waited with in 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan, just starting to feel the pinch when badly hampered before the last. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 6lb |
Hurdles and bumper winner off the mark over fences when justifying favouritism in a beginners' at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) and the runner-up won next time out; stamina for this longer trip is a big query, however. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Placed in both chase starts last year; second behind Downmexicoway at Killarney and a 5l third behind Birdie Or Bust at Listowel; 9-2 for handicap chase bow at Punchestown on seasonal return when fell early; probably the one to beat if that hasn't dented his confidence. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |
10st 0lb |
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. |
22/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
10st 13lb |
0-11 in points; weak form in beginners' chases; transformation needed on handicap debut; that seems unlikely at the age of ten. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 6f 111y |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 11lb |
Dual winner over hurdles; yet to do anything over fences off a 16lb lower mark; not dismissed but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; rated 12lb lower over fences and deservedly so on the book; remains capable of much better. |
8/1 |
|
9th 12 |
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. |
