2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

Second for this rider when favourite for this race last season and a C&D winner for her last November; kept ticking over with a cross-country run and a hurdles outing in February; strong chance. |

Won a handicap chase here (21.5f, yld-sft) off 107 in November; well beaten off revised mark in a Leopardstown handicap chase (24.5f, yielding) and midfield over the banks at Punchestown (3m1f, sft-hvy) last time; testing ground a concern on return to hurdling and 1lb wrong. |

Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |

Irish challenger who could be in the picture judged on his good form at Killarney last summer, and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts and has to get back on track. |

12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |
4/5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Gained back-to-back wins at Down Royal and at this course last January, latterly off 104; huge improvement needed judged on first two runs of the season but tends to come alive around this time of the season; monitor the betting. |

Followed up a 2m4f win at Down Royal in January with a 2m1f success at this venue four days later, beating subsequent 8l Gowran winner Champagne Mahler; should be better for a run at Limerick earlier in the month; has 3-8 record at this track. |
