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 |

4th 2 |
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. |

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. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
10st 13lb |
No win since scoring at Sligo (20.5f, good) in August 2023; rated 12lb higher over fences but failed to exploit lower hurdles mark on last four starts in 2025 and has now joined a new yard; lacks a run and best watched unless market speaks. |

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. |

11st 5lb |
Has suffered mishaps over fences lately, equipment failure at Tramore, hampered and unseated at Punchestown; second in this race in 2025; could be interesting in first-time blinkers; however, Fiver Friday appeals as the stable's main hope. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 10lb |
2-12 over hurdles and rated 8lb higher in that sphere; hasn't looked like exploiting lower chase mark in recent starts; valid excuse at Tramore latest (mistake at third, pulled up after stirrup broke); capable of better than that and can't discount, especially if the rain misses. |
14/1 |

Two-time hurdles winner is 0-5 in chases; out of form in 2026 but has yet to get his favoured good ground; could go well in first-time cheekpieces with conditions to suit. |

Four-time winner over hurdles and has performed respectably over fences without winning; not a bad run in a 2m4f handicap here last time after seven months off and can go well. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 114; pulled up at Fairyhouse on final 2025 start, and badly out of form over hurdles before that. |

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. |

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. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 5lb |
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. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |

In fine form; won by 11l off 12lb lower at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); creditable 8l second of 16 off revised mark at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good), staying on well; step up in trip looks a good move on that evidence and should go well again off 1lb higher. |
100/30 |

2nd 8 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 2lb |
Breakthrough win over hurdles on latest at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); hit hard with an 11lb hike for that 11l victory and consistency has never been a strong suit, so is no banker to back that up. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |

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. |
5/4 |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary in May last year; secured fourth hurdles win at Listed level here in October (2m5f, yielding); Grade 1 level proved a bridge too far at Aintree last month; top-rated of these over hurdles; definite chance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |

Has made rapid progress since winning a low-grade handicap at Tipperary last May, last time securing a fourth career win at Listed level at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) in October; has earned his right to a crack at something better but this might be a step too far, especially with stamina to prove. |

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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

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. |
