29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |

11st 7lb |
With his dam closely related to a Welsh National winner, it was no surprise to see him finishing well when narrowly failing to reel in Broadway Ted in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown; useful but Gordon Elliott has made it clear that the same owner's Keep Him Company is the yard's principal hope. |

11st 10lb |
Hacked up in a Liscarroll point-to-point (3m, yielding) in March and bought for 250,000GBP at the Aintree sales in April; favourite, travelled well but didn't appear to get home in testing conditions on Navan debut (fourth to Charismatic Kid); appreciated better ground when making all in five-runner Fairyhouse contest early this month; ground concerns. |

11st 7lb |
Much too good for Boycetown at Punchestown (soft to heavy; first run in a tongue-tie that's been retained) and, although his bubble was burst to some extent at Leopardstown (heavy), he did get noticeably warm beforehand and probably wasn't seen to best effect held up off modest fractions; can do better, and probably a lot better. |

Cost 160,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to a winning French hurdler; dam useful 2m/2m2f hurdler/chaser; two runs have been at Punchestown, chasing home an all-the-way winner at the festival in early May and handled testing conditions well when tongue-tied in late November, patiently produced against far rail to win going away from a subsequent Down Royal winner; smart prospect who should go well. |

11st 10lb |
Soldier Of Fortune half-brother to 2m2f-3m hurdle/chase winner No Regrets; dam 2m3f hurdle winner, closely related to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Blue Buttons; progressive form in three bumpers, latest two in testing conditions when narrowly beaten at Punchestown and came from off the pace to score over 2m2f at Limerick over Christmas (third has won since) when first two clear; stiffer task now but yard in fine form and top rider booked. |

Soldier Of Fortune gelding; half-brother to 2m2f-3m hurdle/chase winner No Regrets; dam 2m3f hurdle winner, closely related to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Blue Buttons; yard get plenty of bumper winners and market support would be significant. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Won point-to-point for Donnchadh Doyle last March before selling for £250,000; placed in three bumpers before successful hurdles debut in 2m5f Leopardstown maiden last month, making most and going clear from last (soft); no disgrace in chasing home a top-class novice at Fairyhouse (2m4f) last time, but more needed. |

Won point-to-point for Donnchadh Doyle last March before selling for £250,000; placed in three bumpers (including here) before successful hurdles debut last month in 2m5f Leopardstown maiden, making most and going clear from last (soft); type to improve and don't rule out. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Won three-finisher maiden point-to-point for Donnchadh Doyle last March before selling for £250,000; placed in three bumpers, including second to a smart unbeaten stablemate at Fairyhouse, left with plenty to do here at Christmas when third in a steadily-run 2m4f event; kept good company in a Grade 2 event here at the DRF; can win races over jumps. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Showed ability in bumpers last season for Pat Doyle; started this season well with an emphatic bumper win at Limerick in November on heavy; kept good company in two races in winners' bumpers for this stable (last of seven in Grade 2 at DRF); well held by Newbrook Diamond on the form of hurdles debut at Punchestown. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Showed ability last season for Pat Doyle and successful return when making all for runaway win at Limerick in November on heavy; switched yards and again made plenty of use of but came up short over C&D at Christmas on better ground, albeit solid run; return to testing conditions should suit but this looks a tougher task again. |
