11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Champion Bumper second and Supreme third at last two Cheltenham Festivals; 4-4 over fences, winning three Grade 1s, but raced lazily in Irish Arkle (2m1f, soft) last time which has brought about this hike in trip; possibly the most talented horse in the race, but the trip is a real unknown and the fitting of a hood suggests even his connections have their doubts. |

2nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Course Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last season and better in defeat when placed at Cheltenham and Aintree; bright start over fences at Down Royal and beat three-time chase winner Gold Dancer in the 2m4f Drinmore at Fairyhouse; backed that up with a game C&D display win at Christmas; ideally needs further but also capable of high-class form at this trip; looks the part despite slight doubt about how he will handle very testing ground. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Non-stayer (shaped better than the bare result) in the 3m1f Brown Advisory at Cheltenham having surprisingly swerved the 2m4f Jack Richards option; broadly progressive otherwise and scored by a wide margin at Leopardstown (2m5f, yielding) the time before, recording a very useful RPR; ran well in the Mersey over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago; remains of major interest, back down in distance. |
5/2 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Second to Romeo Coolio and Oscars Brother on first two chase starts before impressing when winning an often-indicative race at Leopardstown over Christmas (extended 2m5f, yielding) by 21l; looked a leading contender for a handicap this week but yard instead opts to tackle this Grade 1. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 192y |
11st 12lb |
French bumper winner much improved on third attempt hurdling last term when readily landing 2m4f Leopardstown maiden in March (yielding); followed that up with good fourth in Grade 1 Aintree novices' at same trip (rated 137); potentially smart novice chaser and likely major player. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is 0-6 over fences; ran well in a beginners' here in November but beaten 21l and pulled up in first two handicap chases at Punchestown and Cheltenham; others have more appealing profiles. |
18/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
7yo who is lightly raced over fences and represents top Irish yard; went close at Fairyhouse in November on second chase start but his form has gone the wrong way since and he was soundly beaten at Punchestown last month in his first handicap chase; ninth in the Pertemps Final here last March. |

15th Feb 2026 3m 3f 60y |
11st 10lb |
Bumper winner; failed to add to a maiden hurdle win; remote third behind top-class stablemate Romeo Coolio on chase debut at Down Royal; went close in less demanding company over 2m4f at Fairyhouse; has failed to build on that in races at Leopardstown and Navan; cheekpieces fitted for handicap debut. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 10lb |
2-4 over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences after nine runs and yet to trouble the judge; well held behind a few of these rivals in the Connacht National last time and a 3lb drop is not enough to tempt; preferred by Townend. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Improved to win a handicap at Thurles ((extended 2m5f, yielding; all wins there) in December; that has worked out but his form is still well off Grade 1 standard and he missed the Dublin Racing Festival due to coughing. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 9lb |
Has hit form with a chase win over 2m4f at Kilbeggan nine days ago and a belting run over hurdles (2m6f) here on Wednesday; every chance. |
5/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark as a chaser five days ago in a 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan; that was a narrow verdict and he's 5lb higher this afternoon, but he's clearly in good nick. |

12st 0lb |
Has won over hurdles but 0-8 in chases and yet to trouble the judge; beaten 33l in 2m Punchestown handicap chase on latest; drops in grade, steps up in trip and cheekpieces go on; needs more for last year's winning stable. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 11lb |
Hurdles winner is 0-7 over fences and yet to trouble the judge; step in the right direction in a mares' chase at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) last time after successive pulled up efforts but more needed down in trip back in handicap company. |
10/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Hurdle winner last year but lost her form in that sphere; has run well at times over fences but pulled-up last two tries and not easy to fancy. |
