| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y | 11st 10lb | Won the Grade 1 novice here last year, beating stablemate Ballyburn; has experienced a torrid campaign after starting off with a second placing over 2m; remote seventh behind Fact To File in the Irish Gold Cup; not a bad effort in the Grand National; making up the numbers here. | 33/1 |
| 8th 12 | 11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 | 11st 1lb | The furthest he's been is 3m1f in Grade 1 novice at Punchestown Festival (good to yielding) last April which he won in good style, showing improved form; went close over 2m in November and although he slipped up next time and met with heavy defeats twice since, he went well enough to the home turn in Irish Gold Cup on latest; whether he'll stay 4m2f is a big question but he could outrun his odds for a long way. | 25/1 |
| 7th 2 | 2nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 100y | 11st 10lb | Grade 1 novice hurdle winner came back from a long absence last season; won three races as a novice chaser, notably a Grade 1 win at Punchestown over 3m1f; a fine second to the 11lb-receiving Only By Night over 2m at Naas on return; clipped heels and unseated rider early on in the Savills; race may have come too soon when disappointing at Tramore four days later. | 66/1 |
| 5th 1 | 1st Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 170y | 11st 12lb | Grade 1 novice hurdle winner came back from a long absence last season and began a novice chase campaign; ended it with a Grade 1 win at Punchestown over 3m1f; a cracking second on return trying to give the classy Only By Night 11lb over 2m at Naas; turned out quickly after clipping heels early on at Leopardstown four days ago; the pick of Townend from the Mullins four; big chance. | 2/1J |
| 2 | 28th Dec 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 100y | 11st 10lb | Off for 21 months before winning chase debut in January; struggled in DRF Grade 1 won by Ballyburn; readily landed the odds in a 2m Grade 3 event at Navan; jumped to the left when third in 2m4f Grade 1 at Fairyhouse; career-best when beating Ballyburn in 3m1f Grade 1 at Punchestown; did well over an inadequate trip at Naas on return. | 11/1 |
