11st 4lb |
Top of the pops last season in bumpers, beating the boys in the big one here (good to soft) before making it 4-4 in that sphere at Punchestown where her customary turbo kicked in when it mattered; her stable was quiet when she was surprisingly floored by Oldschool Outlaw on her hurdling debut and she then made no mistake from the front at Fairyhouse (2m2f, yielding) where her jumping was quick and accurate; tongue-tie is added; only six and she's probably still progressing; proven on the track, she'll take some beating. |

11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; unbeaten in bumpers last season; kicking off at Punchestown before taking a Grade 2 event at the Dublin Racing Festival; completed the Grade 1 Cheltenham/Punchestown double; suffered a surprise defeat first time over hurdles at Naas; jumped adequately and should have no trouble rectifying matters. |

11st 7lb |
Ran in 12 bumpers, winning three and second to Bambino Fever in a Grade 1 at this venue; also 1m4f maiden winner at the Curragh; kept good company in novice hurdles during the winter (last two outings in Grade 1s); might not want the ground too lively but look the part now on her first maiden start since 4l second in a 22-runner contest at Navan last December |

Ran in 12 bumpers, winning three and second to Bambino Fever in a Grade 1; also 1m4f maiden winner at the Curragh; can win races over hurdles, unlikely to make the breakthrough here. |

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. |

11st 7lb |
Made his debut only a month ago but was hugely impressive at Navan (soft to heavy) in comfortably disposing of experienced opposition (who had shown plenty of ability) by a widening 5l, and so strong was he through the line that Patrick Mullins had a job pulling him up; that performance was evidently not unexpected after going off favourite (9-4) and the vibes emanating out of a yard that's farmed this race bode well; given that ten winners of this contest had raced only once, there's no knocking inexperience. |

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. |

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. |

Point winner; won two bumpers last season (one of them at this venue) before found wanting in Grade 1s; clinically abnormal when beaten at 1-5 on hurdling debut at Down Royal; made amends in a 2m4 Grade 3 event here in November; jumping let him down at Cork in December; reported to have been struck into on left fore; |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner who won first two bumpers last season, at Punchestown and Navan; came up short in Grade 1 contests at both Cheltenham and Punchestown afterwards but expected to make his mark hurdling this season and this looks a good starting point. |
