28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-purpose; has won three of his last four, two over hurdles and on the Flat at Gowran on latest; raised 11lb for his latest win over timber at Naas (18.5f, heavy) in January; this is harder but he did that easily and he is ground versatile; player. |

9st 6lb |
Dual-purpose winner scored over hurdles at Naas when last seen; won twice on the Flat over 1m2f in 2023; lost his form in this sphere last year but jockey booking takes the eye and considered. |

Two wins on the Flat; caught the eye of the stewards when fifth on his handicap debut at Gowran in October; won narrowly at Limerick before being raised in class off his revised mark at Leopardstown; satisfactory fourth then implies he could be involved here. |

Ex-Henry de Bromhead; fair novice hurdler, but pulled up on only start over fences; fair third in a maiden point in April on stable debut; tongue-tie on; has a much stiffer task here. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |
11st 2lb |
Took a 6l fourth on handicap hurdle debut at this venue (2m, heavy); improved on that when runner-up at Naas (2m3f, heavy); disappointing favourite at the same venue last time and now switched to chasing. |

Took a 6l fourth on handicap debut at Limerick (2m, heavy); improved on that when runner-up at here (2m3f, heavy) last time; stayed on but no match for the winner that day; up 3lb but not much mileage on the clock. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 110y |

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. |

11st 4lb |
Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |
13/2 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |
5/1 |

3rd 17 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Added a second hurdling win at Downpatrick last June off 2lb lower (2m3f, yielding to soft), but recent runs had gotten progressively worse until return to form of sorts at Bellewstown last month when an 8.5l third (2m1f, yielding). |

Third over 2m at Navan in December (2m, soft to heavy) but poor in two subsequent runs on heavy at Naas and Gowran; improved effort at Bellewstown last time when a 9.5l sixth (2m1f, yielding); others make more appeal. |

Only Flat win came over this trip at Galway in 2023 but went close at Navan last month, every chance in a three-way photo when beaten a neck (1m5f, good-to-yielding); 3lb higher but has his chance again. |

Dual-purpose filly is 1-6 on the Flat, the win coming off 58 at Listowel (1m4f, good); narrowly denied off 10lb higher at Killarney (1m3f, heavy) in follow up bid and raised another 5lb; out of form in last two runs over hurdles but return to this sphere could spark a revival. |
