Dual hurdle winner last season on good-to-yielding; safely held in quality beginners' chases; 3-1 favourite for handicap chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m1f, soft) last time when kept on for third, 11l behind the winner; step up in trip should help, as should this better ground; chance. |

The best of these over hurdles with a mark of 147 but has yet to prove himself as effective over fences, as he was no match for Frankie John at Galway and then faded out disappointingly at Killarney, albeit in a good race; has to raise his game. |

Arguably a shade unlucky when a beaten favourite in the County Hurdle but rider reported that he stopped quickly when soundly beaten at Fairyhouse last time; Townend jumps ship; needs to rediscover best. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; beaten favourite in County Hurdle latest but steady pace and not clear run didn't suit so sixth of 23 was a solid run in the circumstances; Townend's pick. |

Smart novice hurdler last season (placed in Grade 1s) and, although defeated at short odds, produced a career-best RPR when 1l second in 2m Naas Grade 3 (heavy) on return from nine months off; entitled to build on that effort and is of major interest in his first handicap, with Paul Townend seemingly preferring him to Murcia and Absurde. |

2-9 over hurdles and rated 129; shaped well before tiring late on in grade 3 handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.5f, gd-sft) after break on latest; sharper now and makes chase debut with yard in hot form; dam related to chase winners; could go well. |

Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding) in September; even better form in defeat later in the autumn, including fifth of 17 in a notably strong 3m Cheltenham handicap on good; returns from a four-month break as a 6yo who could easily have more to offer. |

Point-to-point and 2m6f Killarney maiden hurdle winner; runner-up in first two chases in May at around 2m4f; third in 3m Killarney beginners' on ground probably on the quick side; below best at Ballinrobe but will take some stopping if running to her rating (120); tongue-tied. |

Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 8lb |
Cork handicap hurdle winner (3m1f, soft) built upon a decent chasing debut to win a Fairyhouse novice chase by 14l next time (2m6f, yielding); looked bred to stay 3m2f trip in a Fairyhouse novice chase last time but weakened into third behind Rokathir and Maxi Mac Gold; based on that, drop to this trip seems the right move, and it's still early day over fences; interesting. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |

Fourth on chasing debut at Cork when 8-1, with Showurappreciation 19.5l behind him that day; sent off favourite in a novice contest here last time (2m5f, yielding) and won easily by 14l; he's closely related to Irish National winner Our Duke so should enjoy this trip and the ground should be no cause for concern either. |

Winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in April (3m, soft) and made a positive start to his chasing career when fourth of 15 on seasonal return back at Cork in November (2m5f, yielding); strong in the market for the original fixture, so positive things are expected of him. |
