10st 10lb |
Both hurdles wins over 2m, including Listed handicap here in November; has struggled off revised mark since however, twice not looking to stay 2m5f, latest in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; return to 2m in his favour and cheekpieces tried. |

11st 9lb |
Has registered both hurdles wins over 2m, including in Listed handicap at Fairyhouse in November; early faller at the Dublin Racing Festival last time; something to prove back up in distance, having failed to convince with his stamina in three attempts at about 2m4f. |

Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; may show the benefit of a recent outing at Killarney. |

Added second hurdles win when victorious at Fairyhouse in October (2m, yielding) off 7lb lower; not done with when departing at the second last at Cheltenham but unseen since tailed off at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy) in November; ground should suit. |

Five-time winner over hurdles is rated 49lb inferior to Ballyadam in that discipline; belated Flat debut when well held in Bellewstown maiden last month (5.5l off Battling Ski); good bit to find. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |

Consistent form in Ireland this season for Donncha Duggan features three summer wins; absent since finishing second in Listed novice event at Limerick (2m5f, yielding) five months ago; appears to have a stiffer task on debut for new connections but market support should be noted. |

Two chase wins in 2024 (including a novice over C&D) but it has been slim pickings since then; no joy in 2025 and modest run at Wexford on return from a break on latest; on a dangerous mark but needs a revival. |

Four hurdle wins and two over fences, both coming in 2024; however, has not been at his best recently in either sphere; dropping in weights helps. |

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

Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |

Added his third hurdles win at Ballinrobe in July (2m1f, good) off 96; not at the same level in two runs following that off 4lb higher; dropped 1lb now, but his form is erratic. |

Is 3-30 over hurdles with his most recent win coming at Ballinrobe in July off a mark of 96 (2m1f, good); beaten a long way off a 4lb higher mark back at that track last time (2m, good); could bounce back here. |

In good form over hurdles in 2023; comfortable winner of a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (2m, good to yielding) and followed that up with a mares' handicap hurdle win back at that track (2m, good) off 113 under today's rider; returns to hurdling now after losing her form badly in three chase runs. |
