3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Useful hurdler rated 125 but has been higher in the past; he was out of form but put that right with a narrow defeat of the classy Hiddenvalley Lake on his chase debut at Wexford in May (2m7f, good to yielding); taken seriously on the back of that effort. |

125-rated hurdler was in good form 2024/25 season, winning twice and running well in 3m Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; well below that level in light campaign last season however and now tries fences. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler rated (154) some way superior to these, career highlight when winning 3m Grade 1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree just over a year ago; only fifth when attempting repeat win there last month but looks a class apart from these rivals if anyway fluent in his jumping (wasn't that on sole previous chase start back in December 2023); interesting jockey booking. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Well beaten at Punchestown last May and at Navan in February on sole start since; however, this race has brought out the best in him in the last two seasons, as he finished third in 2024 (good to soft) and first last year (good); could bounce back and play another leading role. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 145y |
12st 0lb |
Lost his way with Willie Mullins after a hurdles win over 2m5f at Navan just over a year ago; pulled up in a chase at Kilbeggan on stable debut; unlikely to defy a big burden here. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
Failed to build on promising start over fences at Wexford in May in two runs since; beaten 18l back at Wexford on penultimate and same distance behind the winner at Galway on latest; has since left Willie Mullins; wouldn't want to see much rain. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for yard; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 121; promising start over fences when a 2.75l third at Wexford (2m7f,gd-yld); soundly beaten over 19.5f (good) back there on latest, overlooked by Townend and this trip may be on the sharp side. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 11lb |
Best form has been in conditions races over longer distances than this; needs to find more on the evidence of a recent Wexford second; cheekpieces for the first time. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |

Point winner gained first win under Rules in a Thurles novice (22.5f, yld-sft) in December; 5.5l third under a penalty back there on his next start and unseated when on the retreat on handicap debut at Down Royal on latest; 3m no problem but needs to bounce back. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Half-brother to 145-rated chaser American Mike; placed in 2m4f bumper and off the mark hurdling when making virtually all for runaway win in ordinary 2m6f Tramore maiden last season (soft); safely held twice afterwards in handicaps and returns from a break for chase debut. |

18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 6f 0y |

Best of three bumper runs when second in 2m4f event at Leopardstown; stepped up considerably from hurdling debut when making almost to win a 2m5f maiden at Tramore; addition of cheekpieces a factor then; Danny Gilligan aboard again, with Jack Kennedy on Sept Etoile. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences. |
