30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 7lb |
Recent novice win was gained at 2m4f at Clonmel; however, worth bearing in mind that he also boasts useful form over this course and trip. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Solid efforts in first three chase starts at Punchestown twice (16.5f, heavy) and last time when a close second at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); the third, fourth and fifth have won over hurdles and fences since; freshened up and big chance upped in trip (has placed form at 19.5f). |

Gowran maiden hurdle win for Tom Mullins was gained over 2m; fair third in 2m3f valuable conditions race at Punchestown festival; third at same venue on chase/stable debut in November; runner-up there last month (form franked); sets a good standard. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Course bumper winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; rated 7lb lower over fences after three chase runs; 7.5l behind Littlefoot at Downpatrick on latest and 10lb better off now so should get closer; place chance. |

11st 12lb |
Won a Clonmel bumper in 2023, and took a 3m2f Sligo maiden hurdle last season; not a betting proposition after a fall and a refusal on his first two runs over fences. |

Won on her second chase start in a mares' beginners' at Naas (2m4f, soft); highly tried to no avail twice since, in a Grade 3 novice back at Naas and a listed mares' chase at Thurles; can't be discounted back in these calmer waters, especially if it rains. |

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. |
9/1 |

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. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

Dual hurdle winner is rated 130 in that sphere but was soundly beaten in two novice chases last October; needs to do a lot better but doesn't have form in this sort of ground. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 8lb |
Hurdle winner who ran a cracker when second off 120 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary in October (2m, good); form tailed off then but relished the switch to fences when scoring at Downpatrick in March, beating Dee's Lady by 4.25l, below that when fifth behind Coral River but will appreciate this sound surface. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Relished the switch to fences when coming from the back to win on chasing debut in a Downpatrick beginners' (19.5f, yielding) just 16 days ago; this is a harder race but he did it nicely the last day and he should go well again. |

Promising bumper horse early in career with form linked to Nick Rockett and Dancing City; 1-14 over hurdles; no chasing experience; up against it. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
11st 5lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles is yet to score from 12 runs over fences; recent form is concerning, tailed off in a Down Royal handicap chase earlier this month and sixth of eight over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest. |
9/1 |

6th 2 |
15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |

Four wins over hurdles including in this race last year off 110 (good); recent form over fences not too encouraging but she's better over timber. |
11/1 |

7th 3 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Four wins over hurdles and some of her early chase runs last autumn were promising; won hurdle over this trip at Ballinrobe and likes good ground, so better expected this time. |
