30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 9lb |
Gowran maiden hurdle winner in October over 2m4f won a Leopardstown handicap over this trip in March and ran a fine third in a Listed Fairyhouse contest last time; up 2lb but should go well again with cheekpieces added. |

1-9 over hurdles, the win coming off 96 over C&D last March by 2.25l and 10lb higher now; sent chasing to no avail since, unseating on latest at Clonmel; return to hurdles and this venue could spark a revival; testing ground fine; can't discount. |

Course hurdle winner has been running well in defeat over hurdles and fences lately; could have a bit more to offer on his eighth chase run; a player. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 154y |
11st 4lb |
In good form under both codes recently; 3lb outside the weights at Leopardstown but took the third spot (3m, soft); backed that up when runner-up in a Clonmel novice handicap chase last month (3m, soft); withdrawn due to unsuitable good ground at Down Royal last time, so conditions a question. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 6lb |
Stays a lot farther and needs good ground; some good runs in defeat around Cheltenham and when second to Perceval Legallois in 2024 Paddy Power at Leopardstown; second off much lower hurdles mark in November, but moderate form since; reckon this track will be plenty sharp for him. |
20/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

Rated 19lb higher over fences but lost his form in that sphere; has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on last two runs over timber and may need quicker ground than this. |

Showed some ability in maiden hurdles without winning; made a solid handicap debut when second to Pebble Bleu at Thurles last time over 2m6f; up 4lb but could have more to offer and a player. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won the 3m4f Cork National in November and a good third over 3m6f at Fairyhouse since; below form in a Naas Grade 3 novice last time; just three hurdle runs, the last was in November 2021 but handles this ground so not ruled out. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 125y |
11st 0lb |
Seasoned chaser got off the mark at the ninth attempt when making all in 3m4f Cork National in November (good-to-yielding); solid third off 9lb higher in 3m6f Porterstown Handicap at Fairyhouse later in month (winner just edged out in Thursday's Thyestes Chase); upped in grade here so career-best required, but could go well. |

Lightly-raced for his age; bumper winner has run well at times in defeat over hurdles; poor in two chase starts in November but can do better back in this sphere with blinkers added. |

6th 5 |
4th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 82y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner is 0-4 over hurdles and rated 114; tongue tie worn for placed efforts at Punchestown and Navan returns and also wears cheekpieces; from the family of Master Minded so should make a chaser but might need this first run since April. |

Hit form over hurdles this season, winning three times since November, going up 20lb in the weights; was poor in a Grade 3 last time and has to rebound even dropping in grade. |
4/1 |

1st 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Won handicaps at Tramore (2m5f) and Thurles (2m6f) lately, with a poor run at the former track in between; has been raised 8lb but gets in with a 7lb penalty so should go close with a repeat performance. |
11/4 |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 126y |

Chase winner gained first hurdle win when landing a late gamble at Tramore off 90 in November (2m5f, soft; form boosted); disappointed in follow-up bid but raced on the deepest ground by the rail which proved costly; worth another chance with Mikey Kenneally taking off a valuable 7lb. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

Best of three maiden hurdle runs was a 27l fifth at Punchestown in January (2m, soft to heavy); pulled up on handicap debut at Leopardstown 18 days ago (3m, soft); others more appealing. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |

Well beaten at big prices in three maiden hurdles but the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with his mark; has to do much better even dropping to handicaps but worth a market check. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner was rewarded for his consistency over hurdles when scoring decisively at Fairyhouse in November (24.5f, heavy); the second and third have won since; 8lb higher but has to be in the shake-up again. |
11/4 |

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

Point-to-point winner was narrowly denied here in February (2m4f, heavy) off 6lb lower; solid runs in defeat the last twice at Galway over 22.5f; stamina to prove for this trip, big chance if he stays (positive signals in pedigree). |
