11st 0lb |
Wide-margin winner of a Listowel handicap chase last year and confirmed his progression when winning the Killarney National in May; even with his 9lb penalty, he was well below par at Roscommon since; others preferred. |

11st 3lb |
Had been out of sorts on soft ground earlier this year but roared back to top form when bolting up in the Killarney National a month ago (3m2f, gd-yld); 9lb rise for that seems fair but may not get his favoured underfoot conditions for last year's winning yard. |

A record of 1-29 over fences but has been placed lots of times including at Limerick and Wexford the last twice; needs to do more but shouldn't be far away off an unchanged mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Veteran with modest strike rate including 2m6f Tramore chase last summer on good; comes here in decent form though, most recently second to Krabat in 2m4f Limerick handicap last month after a break, having every chance; better ground here could see him turn the tables on that rival (1lb wrong). |

11st 10lb |
Eight wins over hurdles and going for three in a row in this race, landing previous two renewals under this jockey; beat Reverend Hubert by a head last year; after eight months off, comeback third in Killarney chase was a good effort; quiet since but can't rule him out. |

Veteran has notched up nine wins over jumps but is 1-9 on the Flat and hasn't won in this sphere since 2024; however, he was a close third in this last season off 1lb higher on good ground so he's not dismissed; 1lb wrong. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |

Prolific winner over hurdles (rated 144); did okay over fences last year and was fair third over 3m2f on his return to action at Killarney; stays 3m well, so this trip looks too short, plus he was disappointing when favourite for last year's Mayo National. |

Second runner for yard; won five times over hurdles and once over fences when trained in UK; three chase starts for this yard with best run coming when fifth at Limerick; needs a fair bit more. |

Useful performer for Henry Daly, winning six races, including an Ascot handicap chase; modest form in two starts for this stable, albeit trip and testing ground probably not ideal on latest; new cheekpieces need to spark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Veteran gained a third win over hurdles over C&D (yielding-soft) in November off 7lb lower, his first win for over four years; went close off 3lb higher chase mark at Limerick 24 days ago; not one to dismiss on ground he'll handle. |

Chase win came in 2m6f Thurles beginners' back in 2021; first success since when landing 3m Cork handicap hurdle in December and good third over C&D at Christmas; two heavy defeats since, latest behind Dancing Jeremy over inadequate 2m2f at Thurles; bit to find. |

Useful three-time winning hurdler in Britain; yet to show much since joining this yard and extended chase record to 0-8 when beaten 31l in the Killarney National last time; 2lb drop in the weights and new blinkers not enough to tempt. |

11st 6lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in 2023 and is 1-10 over fences; hasn't had much racing in the last two years but ran two fine races in valuable Cheltenham handicaps last winter; not as good after wind surgery in the Ultima handicap last time; player if at best. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't jump well when 16l fifth to Myretown in this race last March (good to soft); solid course record otherwise and he twice made the frame here (3m1f/3m2f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year; has had a wind operation since and he's an each-way candidate if jumping better than 12 months ago. |
20/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Perhaps unfortunate not to win this 12 months ago and returned in March with a highly commendable fifth in the Ultima given that his jumping was a major hindrance (had fallen the time before); simply never gave his running at Punchestown on final start; if he can find any fluency over his fences he'd be a danger to all; stable has won the last two editions of this. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |

Dual hurdles winner and has won a chase; never better than midfield here last month (3m2f, good), but much better at Limerick (2m7f, good) last time when a 2.75l runner-up; could build on that. |

Point and hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but has lots of fine efforts to his name; only beaten 13l in the competitive Topham Chase at Aintree last time; this is a bit easier so has to be on the shortlist even though is unproven over this far. |
5/2 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
0-11 over fences and 14l behind Madara when sixth of 23 in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; however, that was still a respectable run and the fact he represents Willie Mullins, who has won three of the last six runnings and saddles three today, means he's not discounted. |
25/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Winless after ten chase starts but he ran two cracking races at about 2m4f on the New course here (good to soft and good) last spring off much the same mark as today's; has more to prove on this season's form but he has revival potential now back on less testing ground than last time and returned to a course that suits. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 11lb |
Came good over fences in this race last year with 15l win (raised 14lb) on yielding; four runs this term in admittedly hot handicaps have been disappointing, including remote fourth in Leinster National, most recently pulled up after racing prominently for long way in Irish National; handicapper relenting but still 7lb above last year's mark. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

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. |
