5th 8 |
30th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix. |

Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; some more fluent leaps at the final two flights at Limerick (2m6f, soft) last time would have seen him go closer; up 1lb and this trip is probably his minimum, but in the mix. |

Won course maiden hurdle in 2024; got off the mark over fences in Cork beginners' in January in first-time headgear combination; still in with a shout when unseating rider six out in handicap chase here 16 days ago; conditions suitable; chance. |

Point-to-point winner; improved for the step up in trip on handicap debut when a never-nearer third behind Aleish Lass at Limerick three weeks ago; he's 12lb better off with that rival and may well reverse the form. |

Ultra easy victor at Roscommon on chasing debut last time (2m, yielding); somewhat surprising given his moderate hurdling form; the form of that race is perhaps shaky but it was hard not be impressed; here lies a bigger test. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 55y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdler with uneven form; definite player judged on runner-up finishes at Limerick and Punchestown this season; the form of the latter has worked out well as the third Live To Laugh has won twice since; ran below market expectations at Limerick three weeks ago but big player if he takes to fences. |

Maiden with uneven form. second here in November (3m, heavy); next run here not at the same level and then unseated at Thurles; confirmed a liking for a stamina test when second over 3m at Naas last week; can pick up a race at some stage. |

Left his previous maiden hurdle form behind when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month (beaten roughly 1l) and the third went close at Clonmel since; handicapper has revised his mark and may need further progress to win on handicap debut but longer trip may suit. |

Kept on for third at Fairyhouse in December (2m4f, soft), although 16l behind the winner; tailed off there next time on New Year's Day (3m2f, yielding); good effort at Naas last time when a 5.25l fourth behind the winner Let's Go Mans (3m, soft to heavy); can get involved. |

Soundly beaten in three Irish maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) for Edward O'Grady in 2024 and makes stable/handicap debut after a 425-day absence; however, he's hugely unexposed and will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
