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. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |

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. |

In the process of returning to form when taking a heavy fall over fences a month ago; how he reacts to that remains to be seen, but potentially dangerous off this mark; likes good ground. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Has run some huge races in defeat over fences, but has been out of form for some time and no signs of a revival in two runs for this yard; needs to rediscover best. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 153y |
11st 6lb |
Point winner and useful hurdler; very good hurdles run in strong Bellewstown heat in July; had struggled chasing until better effort when third at Downpatrick last time; bit more needed, because this is a better race. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Had a couple of mishaps over fences and didn't run badly in first-time blinkers over hurdles at Bellewstown last month; could do better with that confidence booster under his belt and the headgear is retained. |

11st 7lb |
5lb lower over hurdles despite having won four times over flights; put in a rare sub-standard display over fences at Kilbeggan early this month; stays well but does have to bounce back from that poor effort. |
14/1 |
|

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 0lb |
1-13 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' here over 25.5f in July; two respectable runs in handicaps since, 14l fourth in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) and 12l second behind A Wave Of The Sea here (3m2f) two weeks ago; this trip may be too sharp. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Four wins over hurdles; C&D chase winner last month, much too strong for Scalpanagoon; ran well to finish fourth in a higher grade in the Galway Blazers; has improved since finishing behind The Dara Man here in May; Dara McGill's 7lb claim is a help. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 165y |
12st 0lb |
Useful hurdler up to last season ran his best race in three points when third in an open race at Toomebridge last time; ran well enough on sole chase start in 2024 but has to do more. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |

Half-brother to Altior; didn't make the progress that might have been expected for Nicky Henderson season but bettered his underwhelming stable debut when second of 13 at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) in August and may improve again for John McConnell. |

Gained her third win of 2025 at her trainer's local track on latest (20.5f, good); the fourth Shadow Paddy boosted the form at Listowel; stays this far and may be able to defy a 7lb rise. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
11st 4lb |
Has won over fences but a poor run in that discipline last time; only 1-22 as a hurdler but produced three notable efforts in 2m3f-2m6f handicaps during the summer. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Both wins for this yard have come on rain softened ground at around 2m4f; had been in decent form over timber before pulling up at Killarney last time (2m7f, good, jockey reported never travelled); may need softer ground. |
10/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

In fine form, winning over 2m4f at Punchestown festival and good efforts off much higher marks since, chasing home an 8l winner over this trip at Ballinrobe and not quite getting home over 3m1f when third at Kilbeggan last month; trip/ground okay and should go well again. |

11st 9lb |
Two of his three hurdle wins came at this track; some solid runs in defeat in beginners' chases but seemed to do too much in front when well beaten in a C&D handicap last time; can do better with more restraint. |

5th 4 |
30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
133-rated hurdler; already on 139 over fences after an unbeaten start, winning his first two (2m4f/2m1f) comfortably and then game in conceding weight all round in a Grade 3 at Galway (2m2f, good to yielding); faces the same scenario here, but this 6yo has some size about him and he's improving. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 |
30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 5lb |
Smart hurdler won four races in that sphere including in Listed company last year; pulled-up in a Grade 1 Aintree novice on return in April; quickly rebounded with a Limerick novice chase win over Le Coq Hardi and followed up at Killarney; already looks a better chaser and respected despite a double penalty. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 |
17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Top-rated of these over hurdles (133), winning four from ten; trounced his four rivals on chasing debut at Limerick in May (2m4f, good to yielding), jumping fluently and travelling strongly; that was a very promising first run over fences and he can make it back-to-back wins despite dropping back in trip. |

Second runner for yard; has dropped in the handicap a fair bit this year but got back on the scoresheet in winning a Sligo claimer last time; has to be respected again off a low weight. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 |
6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 6lb |
Won a handicap off 111 last year, so has come down a lot in the ratings; has run in several claimers and was second of five in this last year; chased home Rich Belief at Wexford in May, held in handicaps since. |
10/1 |
|
12th 4 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 11lb |
Sole hurdles win came over a year ago at Clonmel (2m4f) off 111; tried several times in claiming hurdles this year, notably C&D second in May, reportedly found to have blood in nostrils last month when just fair fifth in Downpatrick handicap; has to be treated with some caution but down to a nice mark. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Two-time winner over timber, including at this venue last September (16.5f, gd-yld); 0-5 over fences but hasn't run badly the last twice (trip too far on latest) and the handicapper is giving him a chance; likes it here and not dismissed. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |

Five-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-6 in chases, with that win also coming over this C&D (2m6f, gd-yld); clearly likes it here but lacks a run and remains 4lb above her last chase win. |
