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 |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 4lb |
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. |

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 Tramore); vulnerable in a race of this type at the age of ten. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 11lb |
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. |
9/2 |

2nd 12 |
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. |
16/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
11st 12lb |
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. |
9/4 |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 140y |
10st 5lb |
Won at Kilbeggan in May (20.5f, good) off 117 and far from disgraced off 122 in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good); below best in listed handicap chase at Killarney (2m5f) latest; could rebound returned to a right-handed track, though this trip might be sharp enough. |
11/2 |

9th 14 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 180y |
10st 9lb |
Two-time winning hurdler; improved on two beginners' chase starts to win on handicap bow over fences at Kilbeggan in June off 117 (2m4f, good); solid runs in defeat the last twice following her victory, including a 4.75l sixth in a valuable Galway handicap chase last time (2m6f, good); in good form at the moment. |

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. |

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. |

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

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Maiden under all codes in 33 races including 14 over hurdles but placed lots of times; some good chase runs lately (not last time) and should go well if back to best hurdles form. |

10st 6lb |
Dual chase winner but hasn't won since taking a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024; was second to Femme Magnifique at Tramore and the ground was maybe too soft at Roscommon since; could rebound and be a player. |
20/1 |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |

2nd 8 |
29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 0lb |
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. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

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. |
20/1 |

8th 5 |
21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-38 over fences with last win coming at Kilbeggan in August last year; jumping awry when pulled up in his two most recent starts in December; suited by better ground but others preferred. |
