| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th 5 | 7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y | 11st 12lb | 118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. | 5/1 |
| 4th 7 | 29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y | 11st 11lb | Best form has been in conditions races over longer distances than this; needs to find more on the evidence of a recent Wexford second; cheekpieces for the first time. | 11/1 |
| 2nd 1 | 10th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 0y | 11st 13lb | Point winner gained first win under Rules in a Thurles novice (22.5f, yld-sft) in December; 5.5l third under a penalty back there on his next start and unseated when on the retreat on handicap debut at Down Royal on latest; 3m no problem but needs to bounce back. | 6/1 |
| 1 | 17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y | 11st 12lb | Thurles novice winner is now 15lb higher than when third over 3m at Cork on his handicap debut; faces a tough task in the circumstances; rider's claim will help. | 9/1 |
| 3rd 4 | 18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 6f 0y | 11st 5lb | Point-to-point winner; might have got a bit closer but for being hampered at last on handicap debut at Cork (3m); got up late for a C&D win last month; this opposition is likely to prove more challenging | 11/1 |
