11st 10lb |
Talented chaser on his day who was placed at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025; won a beginners' at Kilbeggan last year but both runs in 2026 have not been his best; pulled up when last seen at Punchestown in May; needs a revival. |

11st 7lb |
Second in last season's Jack Richards Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft, 125-1); won a Kilbeggan beginners' chase in June, 2.25l in front of You Oughta Know; left two disappointing efforts behind when a creditable fourth of seven at Cheltenham in October (3m1f, good); back chasing after moderate hurdles run last time and Kennedy rides for the first time. |

11st 7lb |
Rallied well when 125-1 second in a 2m4f handicap chase at last year's Cheltenham Festival; he's since won a beginners chase in Ireland and ran respectably at Cheltenham last time on his second attempt at about 3m; needs to build on that in today's first hurdle race since August 2024. |

11st 10lb |
Grade 2 winning hurdler had seemingly lost way over fences and hurdles but regained the winning thread back over timber at Kilbeggan six days ago; that was a weak race but it should have boosted his confidence so leading claims now back over fences. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Enjoyed a fine hurdles campaign in 24-25, winning a Grade 3 at Gowran and finishing fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham; winning debut over fences at Galway last September before things went a little pear-shaped; reverts back to hurdles here and at his best he would be very hard to oppose; whether he can produce his best is not so certain. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 2lb |
Fourth in last year's Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham; successful chase debut over 2m2f here last September and two good runs in defeat afterwards, including a Grade 2; after two runs over hurdles he returned to fences in a handicap at Roscommon and excuses came to light afterwards; too talented to dismiss. |

11st 10lb |
3-14 over hurdles; has only managed one win over fences but has often run well in defeat; has the ability to figure here but has never won beyond 19.5f and he's got stamina questions to answer over this far a trip. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner and a winning chaser; 3-13 over hurdles and rated 135; mark left unchanged after an odds-on win at Clonmel; smart sort but has never won a handicap. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 135; bounced back to form when runner-up in a similar race at Ballinrobe last time (2m3f, good), with Farren Glory a neck behind in third; gave Farren Glory 5lb that day and they now race off levels, while claimer also takes off 7lb; big contender. |

10st 12lb |
Has won a bumper here, a maiden hurdle here and a novice hurdle at Carlisle, all at around 2m1f; yet to prove he stays this sort of trip and has jumped left at times in most recent chase starts; off since heavy handicap defeat at Fairyhouse in April. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Standout run from seven attempts over fences when chasing home a stablemate in Grade 3 handicap over C&D in January from 4lb out of handicap proper (yielding); heavy ground probably against him when 10l off Jigoro at Gowran last time, will appreciate any drying. |
12/1 |

Soundly beaten in four starts in beginners' events; found his level on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, despite being 4lb out of the handicap, beating all bar stablemate Western Diego; fell at the sixth when one of the main fancies for a valuable DRF handicap; tongue-tie added. |

0-5 in points and pulled up in four of them; pulled up on hurdles debut at Cork in July 2025 and beaten 50l when completing in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon 10 days ago; visor goes on for chase debut; impossible to fancy. |
