Won on the Flat at Leopardstown in August and some good hurdle runs since; the best of them when runner-up in maidens at Tramore and Listowel; a repeat will put him in the mix. |

Flat winner; best of four runs over hurdles on in a maiden at Tramore when beaten 0.75l; no impact on handicap debut here on Thursday but these are calmer waters; chance if turned out quickly. |

Won on the Flat at Leopardstown last month and was just denied by Tatateo in a Tramore maiden hurdle since, third start in this discipline; needs more on handicap bow from 2lb out of the handicap. |

9st 12lb |
Made all to win C&D maiden in November and got his first handicap win off 3lb lower in January; pestered for the lead before fading into sixth last time (race won by Neo Smart); worth another go. |

10st 0lb |
Made all to win in style a C&D maiden in November (form franked); third in a 7f handicap next time before bagging another C&D win last time, with a number of these in behind; 3lb rise for his victory seems fair; big player. |

9st 3lb |
12-race maiden; runner-up in a Roscommon claimer in August and bounced back from two lesser runs when a distant third over 2m at Thurles last week; return to this trip is fine and not out of this back down at his preferred sort of trip. |

Maiden has run well a number of times, notably when second in a Roscommon claimer in August but looks out of his depth here on official figures; new headgear combination tried. |

Maiden has run well a number of times, notably when second in a Roscommon claimer last month; outspeeded late in a 7f Laytown handicap last time but this test will suit better. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Killarney maiden winner (1m, yielding to soft) in July last year; didn't look like gaining a handicap win in two subsequent runs; may need some help from the handicapper. |

Won a maiden at Killarney (1m, yld-sft) in July but well held back in handicap company at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last time; return to softer ground a plus but may be on a tough mark. |

Knocking on the door in recent starts; raised 3lb for short head defeat at Leopardstown on latest (7f, good); has run well on yielding to soft; in the mix again. |

Regressive in Britain; has been consistent in maidens since joining Johnny Murtagh; Irish handicap debut at Naas provides plenty of encouragement; runs from a mark 13lb below her original assessment as a juvenile. |

First reserve; ran okay on handicap debut at Navan last October but well held twice afterwards over 1m4f; best watched on return. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |
9st 8lb |
Shaped like this trip might suit when a 5l sixth of 17 at Navan on handicap debut (1m2f, yielding) in October; never travelled on heavy ground at Galway later that month; this ground more suitable but lacks a recent run. |
