27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company. |

Grade 2 bumper winner last year was then third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at this meeting; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse last time; looks a major player. |

Top bumper performer; won Leopardstown Grade 2 (2m, soft) in February last year; good third behind Bambino Fever at the Punchestown festival next time; beaten 9l by Koktail Brut (now rated 139) at Punchestown on hurdling debut when Splendid Fellow was a remote third; has failed to match that form in outings at Navan and Naas. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Finished mid-division in last season's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival but he was useful in that sphere and beat I'll Sort That by 12l when making all at Fairyhouse in April; off to the perfect start over hurdles when comfortably winning a Cork maiden (2m, yielding to soft; first-time hood) in November but found his old rival I'll Sort That too strong when second in a Naas Grade 1 (2m4f, soft) two months ago; likely to run well again. |

Bang there in two bumpers at Leopardstown (the latest a Grade 2) and he ran well to be seventh of 17 in the Champion Bumper, where he appeared to get outpaced when it mattered; has 4l to find with third-placed Shuttle Diplomacy but these conditions can be a great leveller; respected. |

Second runner for yard; bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles on seventh try at Limerick last time; that was over this trip on heavy ground but has run well on a sounder surface; looks the main threat to stablemate Timeless Treaty. |

Bumper winner; useful form in six hurdling starts, never out of the first three; third of 21 in Listed DRF handicap in February (3m, heavy); runner-up in 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle 12 days ago; will go well again but is becoming costly to follow. |

11st 12lb |
One of three for yard; bright start over timber, winning a C&D maiden (heavy) and beating Blake by a head in the Royal Bond; limitations seemingly exposed in Grade 1 company on his next three runs but back on song with a Grade 2 win at Fairyhouse last time (left in lead after Blake fell at the last); wouldn't want the track to dry out too much. |

Has failed to make an effective transition to Grade 1 company in three attempts since in Grade 2 Royal Bond C&D victory over Blake in November; around 2l behind fellow outsider Too Bossy For Us (sixth) when eighth in the Supreme Novices'. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Proved useful in bumpers but is held by a couple of today's rivals on Punchestown festival running; form over hurdles (kept to 2m) features a narrow success in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse and respectable fourth in steadily run Grade 1 at Leopardstown, sandwiching a Christmas flop that is best forgiven (bled from nose); however, may lack the class needed for this assignment. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Won 2m maiden here in January (soft-to-heavy) and excellent run following month when favourite in very competitive 19-runner 2m Leopardstown handicap, going clear with winner from last; took another step forward when third to a top-class novice in 2m4f Grade 2 Fairyhouse novice on latest (Generous Risk second) in first-time cheekpieces, despite slipped saddle; good chance he'll improve again at 3m and don't rule out. |

Won 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle in good style in January (soft-to-heavy) and excellent run following month when favourite in very competitive 19-runner 2m Leopardstown handicap, going clear with winner from last; cheekpieces added and upped in trip on switching to novice company. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Reserve; 13th at 33-1 in the Champion Bumper here last March; progressing well at 2m in the mud as a hurdler, easily winning a maiden at Punchestown and second of 19 when hot favourite for a top handicap at Leopardstown on latest run; the front two drew clear in the latter, after this one travelled best and launched a strong challenge; not crying out for this longer trip on that display but his stable has made many notable strikes. |

Off the mark at the third attempt in point-to-points at Ballindenisk in May but that form hasn't worked out; dam is a half-sister to the high-class bumper winner Mount Benbulben; yard not known for bumper winners and he is best watched. |

Fairyhouse bumper winner; best hurdles run came at that venue last April when a 7l second (2m4f, yielding); well below that level in two runs this term and beaten 26l in C&D novice on latest; others make more appeal. |
