25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 9lb |
Smart stayer over hurdles (dual Grade 2 winner); not done much chasing but returned to this discipline to win small-field contest at Clonmel and his Grade 3-fourth at Killarney was perfectly respectable; jumping will be tested here in first handicap; trainer going for four in a row in this. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Best known for his hurdling exploits but made it 2-4 over fences in winning a conditions chase at Clonmel last month (2m4f, soft); this is harder but he's clearly in good heart and likely to run well. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Better known as a hurdler, with seven wins in that sphere up to 3m; was below form at Leopardstown last time in first-time cheekpieces; did win on chasing debut in 2023 but was pulled up on last start in this sphere in 2024; however, is seemingly the choice of Jack Kennedy so commands maximum respect. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 10lb |
Two chase wins including 2m6f handicap here in November (off 142) and at least as good form when staying-on fourth over same trip at the DRF; no match for stablemate Maxxum over 2m4f at Clonmel on latest; Jack Kennedy's pick. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Won for the second time over fences when taking a Punchestown handicap on return last November; fourth in a valuable Leopardstown handicap since but was below form at Cheltenham last time; seems to be the yard's second string on riding arrangements but still respected. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Nearer last than first in the novice handicap chase (extended 2m4f) at the Cheltenham Festival last March but he's a better horse now, having won at Punchestown (about 2m5f, soft to heavy) in November and been close up in a big field at Leopardstown under similar conditions last month; even more needed and he might prefer slower ground than is likely today; yard runs two. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Course winner at 15.5f; seems best on heavy ground and scored twice in those conditions earlier this year, over hurdles at Clonmel (16.5f) and over fences at Gowran (19.5f); capable off this mark and rain would boost his claims. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Won over fences at Gowran and hurdles here in February but was below form over fences at Limerick since; has a lot to find against some of these rivals; due to run in the 6.42 at Limerick on Tuesday. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 200y |

Won over hurdles at Clonmel and fences at Gowran last month but disappointed here over fences last time so has to rebound; claims if he does. |

Maiden over hurdles and fences is out of his depth in this company; handicaps will suit better in time. |

A 107-rated hurdler whose chasing debut at Gowran four months ago suggests he is unlikely to feature. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 11lb |
1-4 over fences and rated 135; she is the class horse in the field but she has fallen on her last two starts so she comes with risks attached; the one to beat if she puts in a clear round of jumping. |

10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner was placed in Grade 3 company in that sphere; got off the mark over fences on second try when winning at Kilbeggan last year; tailed off when fell on return at Fairyhouse; questions to answer in this company. |
