30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 10lb |
Failed to win over hurdles, second in three of his six starts; has developed into a better chaser; bolted up at Fairyhouse, form franked by the second Moudan in winning at Ayr; 11lb rise means that he has plenty to find in a renewal of Leopardstown rivalry with Raffles Dolce Vita. |

Maiden ran well in defeat over hurdles and pick of three efforts over fences on latest when chasing home an all-the-way winner in 2m1f Leopardstown beginners last month (yielding); worth a look on handicap debut. |

A maiden over hurdles but has run some fine races in defeat, including here last time; previously ran well facing stiff tasks in two novice chases; can be involved. |

11st 5lb |
Last five races for Gordon Elliott were over fences; has suitable ground for stable debut (won twice on good last summer); cheekpieces now added to the tongue-tie used in chases. |

10st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner is rated 128 in that sphere; hasn't been as good over fences in four starts but best effort came when fourth in a Clonmel novice last time; raced a bit awkwardly then; will need plenty more today. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Rated 130 over hurdles but yet to replicate that level over fences; beaten a cumulative distance of 97l in first three chases at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding), Galway (22.5f, yielding) and Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 153y |
11st 6lb |
Point winner and useful hurdler; very good hurdles run in strong Bellewstown heat in July; had struggled chasing until better effort when third at Downpatrick last time; bit more needed, because this is a better race. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 4lb |
Had a couple of mishaps over fences and didn't run badly in first-time blinkers over hurdles at Bellewstown last month; could do better with that confidence booster under his belt and the headgear is retained. |

11st 7lb |
Hurdles or fences, it's fair to say she failed to fulfill her potential for Willie Mullins, with her fourth in the Mares' Novices Hurdle (2m1f) at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival a highlight; well beaten on her last two starts over fences, she was beaten 36l on her return to hurdles at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month on her stable debut and has it all to prove. |

Hurdles or fences, it's fair to say she failed to fulfill her potential for Willie Mullins, with her fourth in the Mares' Novices Hurdle (2m1f) at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival a highlight; well beaten on her last two starts over fences, so it's back to basics (hurdles) now with Faye Bramley. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 9lb |
One of three for trainer; beaten favourite in all four beginners' chase starts, the latest of which when 33l behind at Wexford after some jumps lacking in fluency; hard to trust and probably wants softer, but she's dangerous if putting it all together. |
11/2 |
