10st 0lb |
Won first four races for this stable at around this trip and ran well again here at Christmas when third to Duke Silver, having made most; blinkers now replace cheekpieces but has it to do from 5lb out of handicap, and ideally may want better ground. |

10st 10lb |
Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |

10st 12lb |
Back-to-back h'cap chase winner in October on good to yielding; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three recent runs over hurdles; probably wouldn't have done better than fourth when faller at Clonmel last time; has his chance again but inability to win over timber to date is worrying. |

Improved for the switch to chasing; survived a mistake four out on his way to winning at Sligo in October (2m5f, good to yielding); not as good next time when fifth from 5lb higher at Thurles; needed the run on return last year. |

Promise without winning over hurdles and rated 96 in that sphere; weakened after the third last fence on sole chase outing at Downpatrick (2m2f) last September; has hinted this sort of trip might suit on occasion but much more needed. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Still a maiden after 11 starts (nine over hurdles); has shown his best form at Downpatrick; took third there in October, perhaps turned out too quickly at Fairyhouse a day later when beaten 29l; wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him feature, but others preferred. |

Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Good effort on stable debut for this yard at Thurles in February over hurdles (2m7f, soft) when third of 17; pulled up next time at Clonmel (3m, heavy); made chasing debut back at that venue last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when ninth of 14 (3m, soft); more needed. |
