5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 99y |
11st 2lb |
Smart bumper form including a defeat of Monday's Grade 1 winner Doctor Steinberg at Clonmel last March; not yet as good over hurdles, beaten twice since winning a Cork maiden on good ground last summer. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |
12st 0lb |
Above-average bumper winner; successful at Clonmel and Tipperary on either side of a satisfactory run in Grade 1 at Punchestown; should be ready for this sterner test after a Cork maiden hurdle win achieved readily, despite clear signs of inexperience. |

Bumper winner has taken really well to hurdling, winning first three starts over a trip, notably Grade 2 Navan novice and Grade 1 Leopardstown contest (2m6f) at the DRF (beating Kazansky 8l) on heavy; much too keen and ultimately pulled up when favourite for Grade 1 Albert Bartlett on latest and hood now fitted; encounters much better ground now. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His bumper form was nothing to shout about but he's gone 3-3 over hurdles; it wasn't a strong Grade 1 he won at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m6f, heavy; won on good) but he bombed clear to win it by some 8l despite taking a firm grip, and his previous defeat of Thedeviluno looks all the better now; there's a nagging concern that his keen-going tendencies might come at a cost in this race, but other than that he's solid. |
4/1 |

1st 1 |
2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 53y |
11st 10lb |
Four bumper runs, the first in 2024; after a year off, third at Clonmel last March; won at Ballinrobe in May; fairly tame effort at the Galway festival; made a bright start over hurdles at the same venue and looked smart when winning a four-runner Grade 2 event at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy); form well franked by runner-up Thedeviluno at Doncaster. |

12st 0lb |
Built on mild promise of Clonmel debut fifth in March when a solid second of 14 at Kilbeggan in April (fourth has won a maiden hurdle since); should be hard to beat if ready after three months off. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Decent runs in defeat over autumn/winter, finishing fourth here (3m1f, good to yielding) and third at Punchestown (3m, heavy); less than fluent jumping at Musselburgh when fifth in February (3m, good to soft); stayed on for a distant third at Clonmel last time (3m, heavy); not out of it and this better ground may help. |

Irish maiden who has shown positive signs since wearing cheekpieces, making the frame over 3m at Down Royal and Punchestown; may take another step forward in the retained headgear; interesting. |

Couple of decent runs in bumpers last summer, two maiden hurdle runs not so good, soft ground may not have suited second occasion; seasonal return and ground more in her favour in what looks a modest maiden. |

Point-to-point winner who readily won 2m2f Sligo bumper in May (good); weakened quickly before last on hurdling debut over 2m5f (good to yielding) at Tipperary last month; has missed four intended engagements since (twice due to ground); back in trip here and major chance if reproducing his bumper form. |
