14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
10st 12lb |
Nine-time point winner won three in a row earlier this year on heavy, claiming hurdles at Limerick and Naas plus a handicap chase at the former track; blowing hard after pulled-up in a Wexford novice last time; might find this trip sharp; blinkers. |

Prolific pointer is on a four-timer after notching up wins in claiming hurdles at Limerick (2m5f, heavy) and Naas (2m6f, sft-hvy) and a handicap chase at Limerick (2m7f, heavy); has to prove his effectiveness on better ground, however. |

Course hurdle winner is 1-12 over fences but that came back in 2021; runner-up over fences at Limerick in March but was disappointing over hurdles at Cork since. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 5lb |
Veteran gained a third win over hurdles over C&D (yielding-soft) in November off 7lb lower, his first win for over four years; went close off 3lb higher chase mark at Limerick 24 days ago; not one to dismiss on ground he'll handle. |

Chase win came in 2m6f Thurles beginners' back in 2021; first success since when landing 3m Cork handicap hurdle in December and good third over C&D at Christmas; two heavy defeats since, latest behind Dancing Jeremy over inadequate 2m2f at Thurles; bit to find. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
10st 4lb |
Hunter chase winner; yet to win a handicap, recent pick being 2m6f Fairyhouse second off 106 in first-time cheekpieces; two uninspiring recent efforts (on heavy) don't inspire confidence and headgear left off here. |
8/1 |

Hunter chase winner; yet to win a handicap and is getting on in years; creditable second at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start; not a bad effort at Punchestown last time over a trip that was probably short of his best. |

11st 11lb |
Four chase wins include the valuable 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick at Christmas 2024; has run only four times since then; fortunate to win a 2m2f Thurles handicap chase in February, after the leader fell at the last; well beaten off revised mark at Limerick. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Four chase wins include 2m4f Tim Duggan here at Christmas 2024 and first success since came last month in 2m2f Thurles handicap, fortunate after likely winner fell last; back up to a career-high mark now so has it to do. |

3-8 over fences; won last chase start in the Listed Tim Duggan handicap at Limerick (19.5f, soft) by 6l off 119 when 1lb wrong and 9lb higher now; was beaten when falling over hurdles at Fairyhouse when last seen in February; best form is on soft ground; needs rain. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |

Won a hurdle at Limerick (fair fourth in corresponding contest latest) before finishing fourth in this race last year; over three years since latest chase win and struggling in this discipline lately, despite declining mark. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
11st 5lb |
Last year's winner off 1lb lower but hasn't won since; below his best chasing this season, albeit set some stiff tasks; not discounted back hurdling but veteran will need to improve significantly. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

Dual hurdle winner ran well enough over fences at Limerick over Christmas; burst a blood vessel when pulled-up on h'cap chase debut last time and has to rebound. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
11st 0lb |
Dual hurdles winner (including here on heavy); three recent runs in beginners chases haven't offered much but does enter handicaps now off 20lb lower than hurdles mark; yard in form and watch market. |
