10st 10lb |
Won over hurdles and fences within five days in January but was pulled-up over hurdles since; this same mark looks stiff back over fences. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |
10st 9lb |
Came good here when an easy 9l winner over hurdles last month (2m4f, soft); sent chasing at Down Royal (2m4, yielding to soft) to take advantage of lower mark and landed the odds by 0.5l; must now run from 17lb revised mark, which makes things a lot tougher. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 5lb |
Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal in January; pulled up at Thurles on his final start for the now-retired Des McDonogh; 10lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display. |

Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form so far; premature to write off but hard to recommend until he shows some spark again; runs off 12lb lower than current hurdles rating. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Hurdles winner at Naas in December 2024; good effort on his fourth chase start at Down Royal in January (2m5f, yielding to soft) when third of 11 off this mark; tried 3m2f on latest but unseated rider when backpedalling; new headgear. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

Hurdles winner at Naas last season; good effort on his fourth chase start at this track in January (2m5f, yielding to soft) when third of 11; tailed off at Thurles last time; tries this trip for the first time and the jury is out on whether this is what he needs. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 100y |

Won a 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap last time on similar ground; is up 6lb and has questions over this trip as he failed to see out 3m2f at Down Royal two starts back. |
4/1 |

1st 15 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |

Now 0-10 over fences having been an unplaced favourite over a longer trip at Down Royal 12 days ago; this is probably closer to his optimum distance; first reserve. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

Winning hurdler is 0-9 over fences but has run well in defeat; took third here on St Stephen's Day (2m5f, good to yielding) and 11l behind in fourth last time (2m5f, yielding to soft); tries this trip for the first time; place chance. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
12st 1lb |
Dual hurdles winner; gained first chase success at Killarney (20.5f, good to yielding) when keeping on well to score by 0.5l; now 7lb higher but this represents an ease in grade and he's ground versatile. |
5/2 |

1st 11 |
11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
10st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-8 over fences; still made favourite last time at Thurles (2m5f) and might have threatened but for a late mistake; considered, though softer ground is probably his preference. |
7/1 |
|

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 145y |

Wins were gained back-to-back in April 2024; looks interesting off his lower chase mark after a fine second in a 24-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. |

Second runner for yard; hurdle and chase winner has been regressive in both those spheres since last autumn; blinkers replace the visor worn last time; needs to turn a corner. |

Won his beginners' chase here in April 2024 but no joy since and he was pulled up when last seen in a Down Royal handicap chase in February; new headgear combination needs to spark. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles; totally out of form over fences, pulled up on last three starts; blinkers tried now; main positive is that he has often run well at this venue, placed four times from seven visits, including twice last summer. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
