7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; continues to show plenty of zest, in front of Piccolo Player when third at Naas 13 days ago. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |
10st 5lb |
Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; weakened into a 19.5l third here last time (2m3f, heavy); 13l behind Peaceinthevalley on that occasion; hit the front early that day, so perhaps can get closer more patiently ridden. |

Veteran six-time winner; produced several good displays off his much higher chase mark during 2025; hard to be sure how effectively he will cope on his return to hurdling at the age of 13 |

10st 5lb |
Latest of three wins over fences was in 2024, but ran well on the flat a couple of times this summer and chasing second at Killarney was encouraging too; Danny Mullins on board for just the second time. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Much better chaser than hurdler, three wins include handicaps at Punchestown and Cork in 2024; long losing run since, but has shown himself in good heart on the Flat of late. |

3rd 3 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Bumper winner in 2020; best known as a three-time chase scorer, runner-up five times on the Flat (three times at Killarney, twice at this venue); probably ran close to his handicap mark when third in a 1m7f maiden at Leopardstown last month. |

Won this in 2024 off 1lb higher mark and timely return to form last month under forcing tactics, winning over 2m at Punchestown and only denied by a neck off 5lb higher over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; up another 3lb but likely big player again. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Back to form with third chase win in fine style at Punchestown nine days ago (20.5f, yielding), making all to win by 3.25l; 5lb rise for that, but won this race off this mark last year; obvious chance if in the same form but consistency not a strong suit. |
4/1 |

1st 5 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 13lb |
2-30 over fences, both wins coming at Kilbeggan; is 5lb below his latest win but he's been out of sorts for a while and not an ideal preparation for this when falling at the fifth fence at Kilbeggan just six days ago; fourth in this last year but others make more appeal. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 6lb |
Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |

Dual bumper and hurdles winner for Peter Fahey but not as good a chaser last season; changed yards and reverts to hurdles off reduced mark and goes well fresh. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 4lb |
Went up 9lb for a decisive success in quite a valuable 2m handicap chase at Cork in October; won a Downpatrick handicap hurdle after six months off in June before fading rapidly at Galway; first run off her new chase mark here and interesting to see if she is as effective back up in trip; definite chance if she is. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Had 50 days off before winning over fences in October and returning from 245 days away when narrowly following up in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2m3f, good; 6lb lower); a likeable type who should give this a good shot. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

Best right-handed and on good ground; both hurdle wins have been after a layoff; two wins over fences last year, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and when easily landing Cork handicap over 2m1f in October; chase mark is now 130. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 8lb |
Six-time winner over hurdles and fences; somewhat in and out this year but was very much on a going day when narrowly beaten in a 1m7f handicap chase at Tramore last time; stable does well here and a clear chance if he can reproduce that; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |

Six-time winner, including over C&D in a novice chase two years ago; form has been in and out over the last 12 months but best effort in that time came over C&D when 4.25l second off 4lb higher in May; below form last twice, pulled up at Wexford 47 days ago; on a good mark if return to this track sparks him up again. |

Modest strike-rate of 3-41 over fences, although one of wins was gained at this venue in August 2024 at Kilbeggan; finished in front of Charlie Luciano when third here in May; lying second when falling three out at Killarney; 19lb below his last winning mark. |

Modest strike-rate of 3-40 over fences, although one of his wins came here; latest success was in August 2024 at Kilbeggan; showed more promise returned to there last time (2m5f, yielding) when a distant third of 11; he's now 19lb below his last winning mark, but must build on his last run. |

3rd 11 |
31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago. |
