2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 118y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time winner over timber; career highlight a 1.25l win in Red Mills Auction Final at this meeting last year (19.5f, yielding); excellent effort when a 3.5l second behind Champagne Kid on last start over hurdles at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, gd-yld); fit from a spin on the Flat last month but very soft ground would not be ideal; 1lb wrong. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Useful hurdler who won the Red Mills Auction Final over 2m3f at last season's Punchestown festival; only previous Flat attempt was over 1m6f; runs over an inadequate trip here; worth a look with a view to her likely return to hurdling. |

Showed improved form in winning the Red Mills Auction Final over 2m3f at Punchestown; posted a decent Flat comeback run at Listowel recently; needs to find more on the ratings and is up in trip but considered. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 8lb |
Hurdle winner who ran a cracker when second off 120 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary in October (2m, good); form tailed off then but relished the switch to fences when scoring at Downpatrick in March, beating Dee's Lady by 4.25l, below that when fifth behind Coral River but will appreciate this sound surface. |

Relished the switch to fences when coming from the back to win on chasing debut in a Downpatrick beginners' (19.5f, yielding) just 16 days ago; this is a harder race but he did it nicely the last day and he should go well again. |

Solid efforts in first three chase starts at Punchestown twice (16.5f, heavy) and last time when a close second at Fairyhouse (2m, soft); the third, fourth and fifth have won over hurdles and fences since; freshened up and big chance upped in trip (has placed form at 19.5f). |

Irish point winner; has won two of his four chase starts (at 2m/2m1f on good to yielding and heavy) and had no realistic chance in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month, but he could have made a better impression with some of his jumping; this is a new test for him under rules but he should have the scope to do better back in a handicap; yard runs three. |
