Second runner for yard; dual-purpose; 3-26 over hurdles and rated 98; in good form on the AW in recent weeks and ran well on his only previous visit to this track; goes on any ground, notable jockey booking and not without a chance. |

In decent form on the AW earlier this year; signs of a return to form when not beaten that far at Tipperary (9f, gd-fm) after a slow start; this longer trip a plus and cheekpieces go on; not out of this. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |

Had one run over hurdles, finishing tailed off in a maiden in late 2024; multiple Flat winner since December and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract last week (1m; stays 1m4f); should run well if jumping stands the test. |
5/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |
11/2 |

Four-time winner is 2-19 on turf; 1lb lower than when winning at Down Royal last July (1m5f, good); stayed on well for second over 10.5f at Dundalk latest; player back on turf. |

11st 10lb |
AW winner; fifth behind subsequent chase Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); flattered by that detail; pulled up in a Bellewstown maiden hurdle last week; has plenty of weight, hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner is 1-28 under rules (the win coming on AW in 2024) and was disappointing at Dundalk when last seen; 0-5 over hurdles, with his best effort a 14.5l fifth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); probably flattered by that placing, but it's interesting that Jack Kennedy takes the ride (2-5 riding for this trainer). |
9/1 |

Beat Numidia by 2.25l here over 10.5f in his sole win from 27 starts in 2024; generally poor form in 2025; decent 4l fourth here in January (10.5f) but beaten 28l over hurdles last time; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time. |

No wins from 21 races; sent off the 9-2 favourite at Gowran for stable debut under today's rider but weakened inside the final furlong to finish sixth of 16; perhaps capable of more with that run under his belt considering his strength in the market that day. |

Runner-up at Leopardstown in the spring and returned from a break to score at first attempt for new yard, coming from well back over this trip at Bellewstown last month; 7lb rise but could have more to offer and wide draw may not be such a negative under hold-up tactics. |
