French AW winner; fell on debut at Punchestown; non-runner twice on account of good ground since her 13l Cork third in July; ran okay on soft in France so the forecast rain looks a plus for her; chance in a race that lacks depth. |

Second in a maiden hurdle on debut; flopped in his first bumper but won the second at Thurles on soft ground; this race is considerably stronger than that one. |

Attracted market support on debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran (16.5f, soft) in October and ran a blinder to finish a 1.5l second of 19; disappointed the following month in Navan bumper; hard to know what to expect now. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Had plenty of chances before finally coming good in a maiden at Gowran (heavy); that was a weak race for which she went off at odds of 2-9; front-runner who can be keen and making all in this field won't be easy. |

7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Placed on five of seven attempts hurdling, second to a favourite in 2m1f maiden at Clonmel in January (heavy), and traded very short in running when reeled in late by Gordon Elliott's Dunsy Rock at Fairyhouse four weeks ago; front-runner will prove difficult to peg back. |
5/4 |

11st 7lb |
Placed on four of six attempts hurdling, best effort on latest when good second to a favourite in 2m1f maiden at Clonmel last month (heavy), despite mistakes final two flights; should be thereabouts but vulnerable to less-exposed types. |

15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |

Soundly beaten on last month's bumper debut but both subsequent hurdle runs were much more encouraging; ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth of 16 at Downpatrick (2m1f, yielding) on latter occasion and goes on the shortlist here. |

Off the mark in his second handicap start at Fairyhouse in January (2m4f, soft); hit with a 10lb rise for that and pulled up when upped to 2m7f at Thurles (signs of delayed recovery post race); needs to bounce back with a tongue tie added but big contender if he does. |
