8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 8lb |
Won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (2m4f, yielding to soft) in early 2025 but only one effort of note in the past 12 months, when third in first-time cheekpieces at Cork in March; tailed off in both his beginners' chases. |

1-17 over timber and rated 109; always behind when beaten 77l on sole chase start at Leopardstown in March (21.5f, yielding); mid-field in Punchestown handicap hurdle latest; others make more appeal. |

Won off 6lb lower at Ballinrobe on stable debut in May; beaten off revised rating on last start in this sphere at Galway and just an okay run on the Flat at Killarney on latest; needs more off this mark. |

Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics had transformative effect when seeing him score back-to-back wide-margin wins at Clonmel and Fairyhouse on heavy ground at start of the year; pulled up at Clonmel in February but bounced back when third at Clonmel last month (2m, soft); better ground is a concern. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
12st 3lb |
Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 here (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) off 12lb higher; handicapper possibly caught up when pulled up at Fairyhouse (2m4f) but drop in trip should help. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 50y |

Adoption of front-running tactics have had a transformative effect; 23l all the way win off 91 at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy) followed by another dominant win here over 2m (heavy) off 12lb higher; raised another 13lb and steps up in trip and grade; clearly in fine fettle but may not get an easy lead here. |

1-18 over hurdles, second six times, including over 2m4f here last season; may step up a place following recent Downpatrick second when clear of the remainder in ten-runner contest over 2m2f; 2lb rise looks fair. |

Scored on second handicap hurdle start over 2m3f at Clonmel in March (soft) off 99 when dropped in grade; moderate on the Flat at Roscommon 12 days ago; this is a tougher task than his win but can't be dismissed. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 188y |
10st 13lb |
Ordinary form for his previous trainer but much improved on yard debut when justifying market support at Punchestown on Tuesday, drawing right away from the last (good); quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty and major respect. |

First reserve; veteran is a four-time winner; consistent efforts over hurdles at Limerick and Tramore; 3m1f at Cork last time likely stretched him and this trip may do so again. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |

Veteran is a four-time winner; last win came here over 2m (yld-sft) in November;has mixed hurdling and chasing to no avail since and never won beyond 2m4f; others preferred. |

Veteran won in fine style over hurdles at Cork (2m, yld-sft) in November; however, he has a strike rate of 1-30 in chases and his last three runs in this sphere have not been encouraging. |

The most experienced filly in the field; not beaten far when third of 16 off 97 in a Cork handicap hurdle last time out; should run her race but probably vulnerable back in a maiden. |

3rd 13 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Has performed okay in modest 1m5f handicaps this year; runner-up in a maiden hurdle and heavy ground was against her in two handicaps; not dismissed. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Best effort yet on the Flat when a 3.75l sixth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) on return from 139 days off, denied a clear run (1.5l behind Eastern Wind); sharper for that, same mark here and should be thereabouts with smoother passage. |

Regressive maiden over hurdles did show some spark in points early in career but still isn't easy to fancy on chasing debut. |
33/1 |

6th 10 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |
10st 8lb |
Showed a bit in bumpers last year; never on terms when keeping on for sixth of 12 finishers at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); down 1lb and he's well treated based on his early form. |
10/1 |
Verdict
A little hard to get a handle on with many making their handicap debut, but OUR UNCLE JACK was impressive at Clonmel last time when making all on this ground, and he may cope with a 12lb rise. Dairy Force makes his stable debut for Gordon Elliott following positive recent efforts and may get involved. [Denis Harney]
