Henry de Bromhead Stable Tour

Form profile

A 139-rated hurdler, she has won two of her three starts over hurdles including the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Trainer says

She has come back into us in great shape and is training well. We were delighted with how she progressed last season and I’d imagine she’ll stay over hurdles this season. We haven’t had a big think about a target for her yet as she is a little way off being ready to run yet. All options are open.

Form profile

A 146-rated chaser, he finished fourth in the Grand National in April prior to winning the Midlands National at Kilbeggan in July.

Trainer says

We’re going to send him down the cross-country route and will look to get him started in those races at the November meeting at Cheltenham. After that, if all goes well, the Aintree Grand National could be the one for him.

Form profile

A 164-rated hurdler, he returned to his best to win the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025.

Trainer says

He’s in great form. We aren’t in a rush with him and will aim to get him back on the track around Christmas time. He has options at Ascot, Leopardstown and Cheltenham, so we’ll pick our spot closer to the time. He’s getting older, so we’ll pick our spots race to race with him, but if all goes well, I’d imagine it will be one run and then back to the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Form profile

A 162-rated chaser, he gained a first Grade 1 victory in no less than the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in 2024 and acquitted himself well in Grade 1 company without winning last season.

Trainer says

He’s in great form and we have the Fortria Chase at Navan in mind for his starting point. He’s getting older and we’re conscious of that, so we won’t make any long-term plans and will play him based on what we see in each of his runs.

Form profile

A 142-rated chaser, he has won his last three starts in handicap chases including a valuable contest at Killarney in August.

Trainer says

He’s in great form and we’re aiming him at the Paddy Power Gold Cup at the November meeting at Cheltenham. We hope there will be more improvement to come from him.

Form profile

A 162-rated chaser, he has won nine Grade 1 races including the Champion Bumper, the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Trainer says

Envoi Allen is aiming to make his return in the Champion Chase at Down Royal. He has a great record there, but he is getting older of course, so we’ll get him there in the best shape we can and see how he gets on. I’m not really thinking beyond that race with him at the minute, but we’re looking forward to it.

Form profile

Made a winning debut in a bumper at Ballinrobe for Andy Slattery prior to changing hands and making a winning start for de Bromhead in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in October.

Trainer says

We were really happy with him at Punchestown. I’d say we’ll get him into Graded company next time and he’ll have options at Navan and Fairyhouse.

Form profile

A 129-rated hurdler, he made it second-time lucky over hurdles when winning a maiden at Cork in April.

Trainer says

He’s a nice horse and we like him. He had a little issue before Christmas, so that shortened last season for him, and he was a bit late winning his maiden hurdle. He summered very well, and the plan is for him to go novice chasing. He could start off as early as this coming weekend at Galway as long as there is a good ease in it. He’ll be one that should stay three miles.

Form profile

A 150-rated chaser, he has won two of his six starts over fences last season including a Grade 3 novice chase at Cork.

Trainer says

We’re hoping to run him at Wexford on Monday bar the ground doesn’t get too soft. We’ll give him an entry in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury and have a look at that. He needs to keep improving, but we’re hopeful that he can.

Form profile

A 160-rated chaser, he made a winning return to action in the BetVictor Chase at Punchestown in October.

Trainer says

We were very happy with his winning return at Punchestown. The conditions of the race suited him well, but we knew he’d come on a lot for the run, so it was great for him to grind out the win. He’s entered in the Champion Chase at Down Royal, but I don’t think he’ll go there. We’re working backwards from the King George VI Chase at Kempton, and we’ll just have to decide if we run him before then or not.

Form profile

A 158-rated hurdler, he gained his first victory at Grade 1 level in the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree in April.

Trainer says

He seems to be in great order and worked well the other day. We will look to get him started around Christmas time either at Leopardstown or the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot in which he just got touched off in last year. We won’t think too far ahead with him as there is a lot of water to go under the bridge before then, but he has gone very well at Aintree having not run at Cheltenham in each of the last two years.

Form profile

A 129-rated hurdler, he won a maiden hurdle at Punchestown prior to running well in Graded juvenile hurdles last season.

Trainer says

He’s a lovely horse that had a solid campaign in juvenile hurdles last season. He’ll go novice chasing now and I’d say he could start off at Naas or Punchestown in the coming weeks.

Form profile

A 143-rated hurdler, she made a winning Irish debut in a Grade 3 mares’ hurdle at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting. She made a winning seasonal and chasing debut in a mares’ chase at Limerick in October.

Trainer says

She was deadly the other day, we were delighted with her. She jumped brilliant, she really attacked her fences. It makes me wonder if we were running her over the wrong trip last season! I wouldn’t be opposed to dropping her back to two miles based on what she did the other day. She could take on the boys next in the Arkle Trial at the November Meeting at Cheltenham. That will give us a very good guide as to where she is.

Form profile

A 159-rated chaser, he finished fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last season.

Trainer says

He’s come back in looking very well. I came down off the stands at Cheltenham a bit disappointed when he finished fourth in the Gold Cup, but in fairness to him he ran well as plenty went wrong for him. We didn’t get a clear run with him last season as he had a setback at an awkward time and I think there’s more to come from him. We haven’t decided on specific path for him yet, but we’ll give him an entry in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury for a look.

Form profile

A 135-rated chaser, he made it third-time lucky over fences when winning a maiden at the Listowel Harvest Festival.

Trainer says

I thought he was good when winning a maiden chase at Listowel a few weeks ago. He’s a horse we’ve always liked. He’ll probably run again in the next couple of weeks, and we’ll play it run by run with him.

Form profile

A 136-rated chaser, she has won three of her seven starts over fences including a Grade 2 mares’ novice chase at Thurles in January.

Trainer says

Nara won at Clonmel on Thursday and we were delighted with her. She looks like she has grown up a bit, as she was more settled and did it well. She could go back to the Mares’ Chase at Clonmel in a few weeks, but we might give her an entry in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at the November Meeting at Cheltenham. She definitely has a preference for nicer ground. She’s still only five and I think there’s more improvement in her.

Form profile

A 163-rated chaser, he won three of his nine over fences including the Barberstown Castle Chase at Naas in November and was set to be involved in the finish of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival only to fall at the final fence.

Trainer says

He’s in good shape and we’ll look to start him off at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting. He ran a huge race in the Queen Mother Champion Chase last season and that is the race we’re working back from. He’s a very good horse.

Form profile

A winning point-to-pointer, he made a winning racecourse debut in a bumper at Naas in December prior to disappointing in the Aintree bumper.

Trainer says

He was impressive in his bumper last season and he’s a horse we like a lot. He was a bit disappointing at Aintree, but it might just have been a simple case of a race like that coming a bit early in his development. He’ll go novice hurdling now and we’re looking forward to him. His schooling so far has been excellent, and he could start back in early-November. He looks pacey in his work, and we’ll probably start him off at two miles.

Form profile

A 130-rated hurdler, he made a winning hurdling debut in a maiden at Cork in December prior to finishing a close fourth in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Punchestown in January.

Trainer says

He didn’t run his race in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, but he has come back in great form this season and we’re going novice chasing with him. He’s built like a chaser, and he likes a good dig in the ground. We’ll look to get him started in the coming weeks. He works with plenty of pace.

Form profile

A 151-rated hurdler, he won the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2024 and was placed in both his starts over fences last season.

Trainer says

He’s back and in great shape. He’s still a maiden over fences and getting him back to the sort of form he was in during his novice hurdle campaign is the obvious goal. He seems in great order, so hopefully he can make a positive start in a maiden chase and drive on from there.

Form profile

A 130-rated hurdler, she finished a promising second on her chasing debut at Limerick in October.

Trainer says

I thought she made a lovely start over fences at Limerick, and she shouldn’t have any trouble winning her maiden chase. She’s a lovely mare.

Form profile

A 140-rated hurdler, she has won two of her four starts over hurdles including a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Limerick’s Christmas meeting and was second in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Trainer says

She looks great and is training well. She’s going novice chasing and we have our eye on a mares’ maiden chase at Cork in late-November to get her started. She looks the type that will improve for a fence and she’s exciting.

Form profile

A 133-rated chaser, she won a valuable mares’ handicap chase at Cheltenham in April.

Trainer says

She ran a lovely race at Limerick the other day and we’ll enter her for the Paddy Power Gold Cup and a novices’ handicap chase at the November Meeting at Cheltenham. She seemed to really enjoy Cheltenham when winning there last season, so we’re keen to get her back there.

Form profile

A winning point-to-pointer, he made a winning hurdling debut in a maiden at Limerick in October.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Limerick the other day. He jumped well and I’d say he’ll enjoy stepping up in trip. There’s a nice race for him over two-and-a-half miles at Navan in November for him.

Form profile

A 135-rated hurdler, he has shaped well without winning in three starts over fences.

Trainer says

He ran well the other day, and we’ve declared him for Galway on Saturday. He is gaining experience over fences all the time and will hopefully find some progression.

Form profile

A winning point-to-pointer, he made it second-time lucky over hurdles in a maiden at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting prior to disappointing in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Trainer says

He came back sore after his run in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. We’ll bring him along steadily and I’d say he won’t run until January. We might keep him over hurdles for this season given he’s going to have a shortened season.
