27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Has failed to distinguish herself since the controversy generated by her rider's unseat at the last in this race; travelled powerfully into the straight then and was well in command; out of her depth in a Listed race at Killarney last time; previously only a moderate third at Tramore, but in front of Oh So Charming and Hasten Slowly, with War Correspondent pulled up. |

Hasn't won since joining this yard last year after unseating with the race at her mercy in a Wexford claimer; decent efforts in opening two runs for this yard, but not at her best recently; needs to bounce back; cheekpieces go on. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Veteran ran a fine race over fences at Ballinrobe (2m4f, yld-sft) in June but didn't back it up at Killarney on latest (2m1f, gd-yld); hasn't won over hurdles since 2021 and would prefer softer ground; new headgear combination tried now. |

Veteran's most recent win came in this race last year off 2lb lower; rediscovered form in the spring in 2m4f veterans' handicaps, finishing fine third at Haydock and good second (having hit last) at Ballinrobe; has to be considered. |

Course winner has been in good form lately, winning a Killarney handicap over this trip and finishing third at Listowel over 2m4f; however, she has a bit to find with some of these but not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Returned from a break with a 28-1 win at Killarney (22.5f, good) and raised 5lb for that; won over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 92; will need a career best off this mark but that's not impossible. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up. |
9/1 |

3rd 22 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today. |

Bumper and dual hurdle winner is rated 121 in that sphere though disappointed when last seen in 2025; makes chasing debut for a new yard and is respected but ran poorly on her only run at this track last year. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won off 113 at Killarney (2m1f, good) last August; showed signs of returning to form when falling when still going well off this mark back at Killarney latest; stays this far and can go well if that fall hasn't left a mark. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Easy winner of this 12 months ago off 9lb lower and just the three starts since, one of those behind Brighterdaysahead; returned with a 10l defeat to Bowensonfire at Bellewstown and ran better at Galway, albeit looking a hard ride at times in the new cheekpieces (soon discarded); should feature. |

Hasn't added to Punchestown maiden win (2m3f, good) of last summer, decent second to Grann's Boy at Listowel but never counting behind Duke Silver over just shy of this trip here at Christmas; questions to answer. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Lightly raced 5yo won a 2m3f Punchestown maiden in June (gd-yld); came up short when last of seven in a listed hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good) on latest; back up in trip for handicap debut and has to be respected for top yard. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |

Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
One of four for trainer; two-time Flat winner and maiden hurdle winner; creditable efforts in his last three handicaps, a 2l runner-up at Navan (2m5f, heavy) before staying on for a modest fourth in a Listed contest at Navan when 3lb wrong (3m1f, soft to heavy); third at Limerick last time when he could offer no more close home (3m, soft to heavy); can go well again but Kennedy chooses another. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Won a Gowran maiden (2m, soft) in March; has failed to fire in four starts since, twice coming up short in handicaps; best efforts have come on soft ground; probably needs rain. |

First reserve; French Flat winner; won a Gowran maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft); beaten 22l on handicap debut at Aintree in April and this trip seemed to stretch him in a rated novice at Clonmel; others preferred. |

Useful five-time winner for Peter Fahey; changed hands for E25,000 in November but unseated at the first on stable debut at Galway eight days ago; tongue-tie and cheekpieces left off now; enjoys nice ground and definite claims. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Signed off for Peter Fahey with an emphatic win over hurdles at Punchestown (16.5f, gd-yld) in October; bought for E25,000 in November and this course winner is worth a market check on debut for shrewd yard with a tongue tie and cheekpieces applied. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 95y |

Won a mares' chase at Thurles (2m2f, good to yielding) in March; nothing in three subsequent starts over fences but ran a good race in the Galway Tribes back over hurdles in August; ultimately finished tailed off when stepped up in trip at Listowel last time (2m4f, good to yielding); drops another 1lb now. |
