11st 7lb |
C&D winner in September 2022; last success was at Listowel the following year; at the veteran stage now; returned to form when second at Clonmel in April; flopped at Sligo in May, raising a doubt. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 172y |
10st 10lb |
C&D winner; last scored in September 2023 but back to form with a 1.25l second at Clonmel on latest; raised 3lb for that but is still 10lb below his last success; C&D form figures read 41343; leading claims. |

One of two for yard; last of three wins came at Listowel in 2023; fourth on both starts for this stable at this venue over 3m but beaten 31l (on heavy) and 52l (on yielding); on a dangerous mark now, however, and cheekpieces might provide a spark. |

0-12 under rules' but ran one of his best races when a 3.25l third of 15 at Clonmel (2m7f, yielding) last time, running on well from the rear; up 1lb but this is a lower grade and Kennedy now takes the ride. |

3rd 15 |
14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 0y |

One of two for yard; 0-10 but has run well in defeat on a couple of occasions, including when a 5.25l third of 16 here in December (19.5f, heavy), shaping like further would suit; stayed on for an 11l fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, gd-sft) on latest off 10lb higher; interesting. |

11st 12lb |
5lb lower when winning a handicap hurdle in March; enjoys good ground and ran well for a long way on recent chase debut at Kilbeggan (2m3f, yielding); this trip likely suits him better and has possibilities in the new headgear. |
6/1 |

4th 1 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Sole win came in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in March, decent effort off 5lb higher at Clonmel next time before unseating after three out 16 days ago at Punchestown; enjoys good ground and being patiently ridden; chase debut; has the hurdle rating to be on the shortlist. |

Has failed to fire over fences or hurdles this season; latest Cork fifth a remote one; trip and ground fine but needs to rediscover best; maybe the new tongue tie can help. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 45y |

No sign of his best form since two wins and a solid fourth in chases at Navan last season; tailed off when sent back over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January. |

8th 5 |
14th Jan 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Four-time winner under rules split evenly between hurdles and fences; latest win came in a Navan handicap chase off 116 in February (3m, soft to heavy); pulled up and beaten 29 l in two chasing runs this season, so a bit to prove now in first-time cheekpieces. |

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. |

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. |
