2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; beaten 3l when runner up behind Salvator Mundi in Grade 2 novice at this track (2m1f, soft) in January 2025; no show in two heavy ground Grade 3s on first two runs this term; fine effort in Martin Pipe off 137 on latest and effectively 6lb lower here with rider's claim; chance but forecast rain a concern. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who had form figures of 112 prior to a stiffer task (well held) in the Turners at this meeting last year; faces a more suitable assignment returned to Cheltenham and may improve sharply on his couple of fifth-place finishes at Grade 3 level (2m) this term; interesting. |

French bumper winner had a light novice hurdle campaign last season, winning Cork maiden on debut before decent second (having been hampered) in Grade 2 Punchestown novice but never sighted in 2m5f Turners at Cheltenham; returns with a bit to prove but remains relatively unexposed. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Comfortably won Worcester maiden (2m, good) on last summer's stable debut but has been some way below that form on all three starts since; will be fine over today's trip but needs to get career back on track. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who justified skinny odds with minimal fuss in Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in August; he's one of the two form picks on that and earlier evidence, but the heavy defeats in his two handicaps since tell a very different story. |
7/2 |

Ex-Irish 6yo who justified skinny odds with minimal fuss in Worcester maiden (2m, good) on stable debut in August; beaten the thick end of 50l on handicap debut in valuable event over 2m4f back there the following month; off since and drops back in trip with drying ground probably in his favour. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Second over hurdles at Auteuil in March 2024; ran only twice last season; shaped well at Leopardstown last December on reappearance; appeared not to stay the near-2m3f trip at Naas in January; got his career back on track when winning a 23-runner maiden hurdle at Navan in March. |

Second to a smart type at Auteuil in March 2024; seems to have had issues, since he has run only three times since his arrival in Ireland; shaped well at Leopardstown last month on first run since last March, left to take third in the maiden in which the exciting El Cairo exited with the race at his mercy; strong contender. |

A long time since he showed his best form; the most recent of his two wins was in 2023; towards the rear in three outings this season; 6lb out of the handicap, can be ruled out. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
100-1 and borderline tailed off in a Cork maiden hurdle in December 2024 but he subsequently turned into a quality bumper performer and has taken it up a notch since resuming career over hurdles, unbeaten in four including Navan Grade 3 (2m, soft to heavy) in November and when repeating forcing tactics in Naas Grade 1 (2m4f, soft; Sortudo second, Saint Baco behind) two months ago; won't find it easy to dominate this field but his gritty attitude was admirable last time and he likely won't go down without a fight. |

26th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 156y |
11st 10lb |
Good form in winning two of his three bumpers, posting an RPR of 121 on the second occasion; surpassed that figure in a maiden hurdle at Listowel (2m, yielding), hammering a subsequent winner in the process; has further to go here but looks a smart prospect. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Sole win came in 2m4f novice handicap hurdle here last season; best of five attempts chasing this term when fair fifth (Mystical Goddess third) in 2m5f mares' handicap here in November; pulled up latest two outings so caution advised; 1lb wrong. |

Made it 0-10 over hurdles when soundly beaten in handicap at Perth (2m, good) last September when last seen; however, prior to that he was third in a maiden hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in August on his stable debut and he'll be firmly in the mix if rediscovering that form. |

A 110-rated hurdler has won his last two starts in that sphere, including a handicap here (2m1f, gd-yld) off 96; this longer trip fine and he's of obvious interest on chase debut. |

Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim. |
