16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Point winner was a smart maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but hasn't really built on that; the best of three runs last season was when second in a Gowran Grade 3 in February; was then outclassed in the Champion Hurdle; yard does well with chasers so can run a big race. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; dropped away from the top of the hill in the Supreme on this card 12 months ago, having raced freely and done too much up front; achieved best RPRs when scoring impressively at Leopardstown (strong maiden form) in December 2024 and good second in Grade 3 at Gowran Park (again over 2m; heavy) last time; faces a stiffer assignment and competition for the lead. |

11st 12lb |
Consistent hurdler who was in good form for the most part of last year, winning a 2m handicap at Wexford in October; there are successful chasers in the family. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 6lb |
Getting the hang of things in handicaps and was a good second at Gowran (16.5f, soft) earlier this month, despite putting in a slow jump at the last; effective on better ground and should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Won a 2m3f maiden hurdle on good to yielding at Kilbeggan in May 2024, accounting for the subsequent three-time Grade 3 winner Gaucher; ignored in the market (80-1) when making his comeback in a beginners' chase at Gowran in January; ran accordingly; needs to show he retains ability. |

11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-17 over hurdles and rated 117; heavy defeat on debut for this yard in Punchestown handicap hurdle 24 days ago; unproven at this trip; best watched in first chase. |

Flat winner got off the mark immediately over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden hurdle last year (2m, heavy); well beaten in a Naas novice contest next time before some consistent Flat efforts; unseen since tailed off at Naas back over hurdles on final start for Michael O'Callaghan in November; needs to bring his best. |

11st 6lb |
Bumper winner took a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle last autumn but was then poor twice after; his yard is in better form now but he has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these rivals. |

Ran well in defeat in multiple maidens and novices for Philip Rothwell; best efforts have come over 3m-3m1f so not sure this trip will suit but he's top rated at 112 and he should still go well on stable debut. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
2-7 over hurdles and rated 122 in that sphere; promise in two of three chase starts and rated 120 over fences; beaten 7l over 19.5f (good) at Down Royal latest when a mistake two out proved costly; ground fine here and shorter trip a plus; big player. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 150y |

Second runner for yard; a 122-rated hurdler won twice over hurdles last year before losing his form badly; ran well enough behind a subsequent Punchestown winner at Cork on second chase start; can go well. |

11st 8lb |
Dual hurdles winner is now 0-8 chasing but some good runs in defeat, including 2m6f Listowel handicap; no match for 15l winner The Enabler in Fairyhouse novice on latest but remains of interest back in handicap with cheekpieces now tried. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Best of four runs in beginners' chases when second at the Galway festival; creditable third over 2m6f at Listowel on handicap debut; could not be guaranteed to uphold form with Weveallbeencaught who may have needed the run. |
