7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has been mostly over fences without success this season; posted a solid run back to hurdles over this trip at Naas last time; needs more in a stronger race. |

4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 180y |

One of two for trainer; juvenile hurdle winner in 2024; well beaten in beginners' chase starts ; slight improvement in a Tramore novice chase last time when a 12.5l fourth of nine (2m, soft); found to have blood at both nostrils on that occasion; reverts to hurdles now. |

10st 6lb |
Second runner for these connections; course hurdle winner over 2m4f last year, was hit and miss in that sphere after; both chase runs have been here with best run a second over C&D last time; up 2lb and in grade but can be a player. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Maiden hurdle win came here (2m4f, good) last summer; softer ground in recent outings wouldn't have been ideal so potential improver now back on better ground, having not quite got home when fourth in 2m4f novice handicap on chase debut here last month (well-backed); drops in trip. |
7/1 |

4th 11 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 3lb |
Highlight of eight runs over hurdles when winning C&D maiden last July (good); has struggled in handicaps, testing conditions at Leopardstown probably not suiting last twice; straight into handicap company for chase debut and likely best watched. |

Lightly raced since winning his maiden hurdle in 2023; has returned from a long absence with three competitive runs over fences, the last two both handicaps; trip/ground fine; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Tramore maiden hurdle winner in late 2023 and best of two recent runs over fences came at same venue last month when rallying third (In The Trenches fifth) in 2m novice handicap chase; could be capable of better over fences so one to consider. |
11/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in November 2023 but no joy since; not disgraced on chase debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) last month but doesn't look obviously well treated for first handicap chase. |

11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |
9/4 |

Sole win came in 2m Limerick maiden hurdle two years ago; consistent placed form in handicap hurdles last year, well below best last month at Plumpton; straight into handicap company for chase debut and inexperience a concern. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |

Maiden under all codes in 33 races including 14 over hurdles but placed lots of times; some good chase runs lately (not last time) and should go well if back to best hurdles form. |

Won over hurdles at Listowel last time; previously ran well enough on debut over fences here, both over this trip; in form so has to be strongly considered. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Placed in two bumpers for Seamus Fahey and second in 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle in October when with Gavin Cromwell; unfancied on stable debut, and first run of the year, when mid-field in Wexford chase; might prefer farther, but not out of it. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden took her mark to a career-high when coming from well back to chase home a clear winner in 2m1f Killarney handicap hurdle in October (yielding); never recovered from bad blunder at Sligo later same month in first-time cheekpieces; has since left Gavin Cromwell and debuts for new yard on chase debut. |

Dual chase winner but hasn't won since taking a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024; was second to Femme Magnifique at Tramore and the ground was maybe too soft at Roscommon since; could rebound and be a player. |

Two chase wins in 2024 (including a novice over C&D) but it has been slim pickings since then; no joy in 2025 and modest run at Wexford on return from a break on latest; on a dangerous mark but needs a revival. |

Progressive handicap hurdler in March/April; off the mark over 2m5f at Down Royal (yielding) and better again off 11lb higher when clear second to a ready winner over C&D (soft-to-heavy); every chance here if a poor recent chase run is ignored; reservations about good ground. |
