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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |
20/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Only win in 18 runs over hurdles was in a maiden on penultimate start in April, that after finishing a well-held third in a 2m4f handicap; latest run at Punchestown three months ago is forgiven (tried a visor) but he's unconvincing against some of these. |

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. |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
