3rd 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

10st 1lb |
Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |

0-8 and yet to trouble the judge but has shown glimmers of ability; hinted more than once last season that he needed further than 1m2f but weakened over that trip on return at Navan last month; blinkers now go on, but this trip is a query. |

Nice pedigree and beaten less than a length on handicap debut at Killarney in October (1m3f, soft); has kept on over shorter trips last twice and now steps back up in trip. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |

Maiden placed a couple of times last autumn over longer trips on soft; encouraging recent seasonal return over an inadequate 1m at Limerick should have her ready for this. |

5th 12 (8) |

Filled the third spot in final two starts last year at Killarney (1m3f, soft) and Musselburgh (1m5f, soft); prominent before weakening into a 19.5l tenth of 13 on seasonal return; could improve. |

Dual-purpose; remote finishes in three maiden hurdles, although his best effort was when beaten 29l behind Supreme-bound El Cairos at Thurles on latest; worth a market check on handicap hurdle debut. |

Encouragement in her 6.75l seventh of 19 on debut at Naas (1m, good to yielding); a little below that at Navan last time when sent off 9-2; improvement to win this is not beyond the realms of possibility. |

140,000euros foal; half-sister to five winners including Breton Rock (6f/7f inc 2yo/Group 2; RPR 116), Awaal (Listed-placed; 111), Kharbetation (1m; 95) and Yaakooum (1m2f/1m4f; 95); dam 7f winner (104); 22-1, encouraging enough Naas debut last month to suggest she could improve enough to have a say here. |

8th 3 (6) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Hit the crossbar over an extended 1m2f at Naas (good to yielding) on handicap debut off 2lb higher; reasonable effort back in a maiden at Gowran next time when fourth; the heavy ground was perhaps not to his liking when last seen at Gowran when 23l behind; chance. |
6/1 |

8th 11 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Didn't show much in opening two maidens but getting the hang of things since, finishing fifth of 11 in a 1m Limerick maiden before hitting the crossbar over extended 1m2f at Naas on handicap debut; another reasonable maiden run over C&D last time; tongue-tie on now and he is appealing. |

Failed to fire on the Flat last time but had previously returned to hurdles (dual winner) with a respectable fifth of 21 in a Listed handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding); off the same mark here in a less demanding race. |

8st 13lb |
Just five Flat races, faring easily best when he won a handicap at Bellewstown (1m3f, soft) last month; returned to hurdling for a respectable show at Punchestown festival 19 days ago; his trainer's three runners at Chester last week were all well held, albeit with two in the Chester Cup, but this one should have more to offer in this sphere and goes on the shortlist. |
13/2 |

5th 15 |
28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |

Dual-purpose; 2-8 over hurdles, his last win coming at this meeting last year off 7lb lower; no impact over timber since but won on the Flat at Bellewstown 17 days ago and Sean Bowen was on board for that win here last season; can't discount. |

0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |
