21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 8lb |
Cork handicap hurdle winner (3m1f, soft) built upon a decent chasing debut to win a Fairyhouse novice chase by 14l next time (2m6f, yielding); looked bred to stay 3m2f trip in a Fairyhouse novice chase last time but weakened into third behind Rokathir and Maxi Mac Gold; based on that, drop to this trip seems the right move, and it's still early day over fences; interesting. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Fourth on chasing debut at Cork when 8-1, with Showurappreciation 19.5l behind him that day; sent off favourite in a novice contest here last time (2m5f, yielding) and won easily by 14l; he's closely related to Irish National winner Our Duke so should enjoy this trip and the ground should be no cause for concern either. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |

Winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in April (3m, soft) and made a positive start to his chasing career when fourth of 15 on seasonal return back at Cork in November (2m5f, yielding); strong in the market for the original fixture, so positive things are expected of him. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson; remote second in 2m6f Fairyhouse novice his best run over fences for current yard, most recently pulled up after never travelling in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap on Saturday; hard to fancy unless quicker ground brings serious improvement. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Bumper winner and fair 128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson, stayed 2m5f; beaten 14l in second over C&D in January before being pulled up in a 3m event at Navan; suffered the same fate in a Limerick race won by Kings Hill; questions to answer. |

Bumper winner and fair 128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson, stayed 2m5f; ran well up to the point of his fall two out over C&D on his second Irish start; fair second at Fairyhouse before being pulled up in a 3m handicap at Navan; out of his depth in a 2m Grade event on latest. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 2lb |
Breakthrough win over hurdles on latest at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); hit hard with an 11lb hike for that 11l victory and consistency has never been a strong suit, so is no banker to back that up. |
9/2 |

1st 25 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Winning chaser; weak record (0-18) as a hurdler makes it hard to be confident; not a big price when down the field at Gowran on latest. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |
11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdler but immediate breakthrough over fences in 2m4f Gowran beginners in November (heavy) under a positive ride; similar tactics employed in 2m6f Fairyhouse rated novice 9 days ago but didn't get home when third; return to this trip should suit but others possibly better handicapped. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
10st 9lb |
0-28 under rules and 0-8 in chases but has run well in defeat on occasion in this sphere; decent fourth at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March; 8l second at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; modest fifth at Perth latest; needs to find more to get his head in front. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdles winner won on handicap chase debut here in November (3m, soft) off 110; poor in two handicaps after, as well as in a novice contest here (2m5f, yielding) last time when 73l behind Nelson County. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner got off the mark chasing around here at the fifth attempt back from a break on handicap debut over 3m in November (soft); pulled up after a bad mistake at Cork 19 days later but appeared to have few excuses for his 28l seventh at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); capable of getting involved on his best day. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 2lb |
Won three in a row over hurdles in 2023/24 including here; yet to match that form over fences in 10 attempts, decent effort in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares handicap; didn't quite stay under forcing tactics at Punchestown latest behind a strong favourite in same ownership; steadily declining mark and looks nicely treated now. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |

Progressive when winning three consecutive hurdles races in 2023/2024, one of them at this venue; yet to shine over fences, but well supported into 7-2 joint favourite here last time when a 4.5l fourth; all wins over hurdles came at 2m. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |
11st 11lb |
Progressive over hurdles last year, and form went to a new level when a well-backed runner-up on chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding) in October, where he might have won but for a mistake; too keen and didn't get home at Cheltenham later that month; didn't jump so fluently back over hurdles at Cork and was already in trouble when hampered at two out; needs to bounce back. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Progressive over hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) and form went to new level when runner-up on recent chase debut at Killarney (2m7f, yielding), where he might have won but for a bad mistake two out; the handicapper has reacted but this 6yo could have a big shout for his respected Irish trainer. |

Left form for previous yard behind when landing a touch on debut for this yard at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in March; hiked up 17lb and came up short off his revised mark at Tipperary (2m, gd-yld); must improve for this longer trip. |

3-7 over hurdles but not the same level a chaser after eight attempts, okay run in 2m5f Cheltenham mares handicap in December, most recently chased home a ready 9l winner in similar Navan contest in February; 3lb wrong here so improvement needed. |

Has been mostly chasing in the last year, winning a Kilbeggan beginners' over 2m5f; mightn't have lasted 3m2f last time and this trip back off a lower hurdles mark can suit; chance. |
