Came back to form on AW over winter but below best twice after; a bit better at Dundalk Friday but is unproven in these conditions. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Out of sorts for his handicap hurdling debut at Punchestown in October when last seen over timber but has previously finished runner-up in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); Flat return at Limerick when third was encouraging for his chances here. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |

Having a good time of it of late on the AW, recording a third win there last month off 55; balance of turf form is on decent ground so could struggle in these conditions. |

Dual course winner (1m4f) during the winter; beaten only 1.5l over C&D off 54 last month before runner-up here over 1m4f on latest; looks sure to give his running once again; shortlisted. |

Hard to win with under both codes (1-35) but last two efforts perfectly respectable and new blinkers might give her a lift. |

Only one win from 17 turf starts on the Flat but placed seven times; this year's Flat form provides little encouragement, unplaced three times, though that includes twice at Dundalk where the surface has never brought out the best in her. |

Half-sister to 1m4f winner here Dreams Fled Away; lightly-raced, unexposed mare entering handicaps, having shaped encouragingly on AW debut last time when staying on over 1m; step up in trip to suit and likely more to offer. |

9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish; only win was in a 7f claimer (AW) in December 2023 and she finished a tailed-off last in her final two runs (hurdle/Flat) last year; 2m may have been too far here last month but she needs a major revival back at this trip. |
