4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
One of two for yard; had Kool One 3.5l behind when beaten 11l into second of 11 on chase debut at Wexford 44 days ago, despite not jumping fluently at times; may have needed that and cheekpieces might sharpen up his jumping; preferred by O'Keefe. |

11st 12lb |
119-rated when winning 2m1f Down Royal maiden hurdle at Christmas (yielding); well held in valuable auction series final at Punchestown festival four months later and has had a break since; yard's runners usually expected to improve for the switch fences so greatly respected. |

Consistent form before justifying favouritism in a Down Royal maiden in December; not as well suited by the race conditions as the other two on the same weight. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 12lb |
Flat and hurdles winner; not a bad effort when a 14.5l fourth of nine on chase debut at Wexford (2m3f, good, 3.5l behind Los Blanco); didn't quite see the trip out that day so not sure this longer trip will suit. |

Dual-purpose 5yo gained his third win on the Flat in 1m5f Navan handicap in April, okay run in better-class Curragh contest following month; hurdles win came in 2m1f maiden here last summer, soft ground was probably against him in subsequent handicaps; back on better ground here could go well if taking to chasing. |

Point-to-point winner is 0-7 under Rules and yet to trouble the judge; heavy defeats all three chase starts and rated just 99; hard to fancy. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |

Point winner; ordinary form over hurdles, well below the level of many of these rivals; tailed off on chasing debut at Cork. |

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. |

Placed in a handicap hurdle on testing ground at Punchestown in January but lost way in that sphere since; pulled up at Roscommon on latest and can only be watched on chase debut. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Went closest to scoring when just denied in a Punchestown handicap over 2m in January (well-backed) on soft to heavy ground; raced keenly over 3m on return at the same track last month; 5-2 favourite at Clonmel last time but was a disappointing seventh; cheekpieces go on and Cobden rides for the first time so he must be respected. |

Maiden hurdle winner in 2023; highly tried to no avail at times subsequently; unseated at the third on return from mammoth layoff at Kilbeggan two weeks ago when 125-1; others preferred. |

Sligo maiden hurdle winner rated 109 in that sphere; tailed off on only previous chase start in November 2023 but that was in a Grade 2 novice; hasn't been seen since; can only watch. |
