30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 9lb |
Gowran maiden hurdle winner in October over 2m4f won a Leopardstown handicap over this trip in March and ran a fine third in a Listed Fairyhouse contest last time; up 2lb but should go well again with cheekpieces added. |

3rd 9 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
11st 7lb |
Point winner won a Gowran maiden hurdle last October and most recently relished step up in trip for handicap debut win over 3m at Leopardstown last month, coming off pace to assert from last (soft); progressive staying type but has 8lb rise to contend with. |

Point winner won a Gowran maiden hurdle last October and was then a fine third in a Newbury novice; well below his best at Thurles since but can go well on handicap debut if handling this ground. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden showed plenty of promise in bumpers and has run some fine races over hurdles, the best of which when a close second over 2m7f at Cork; not as good over 2m4f last time but the step back up in trip can help on handicap debut; chance. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Useful bumper form; rated 110 after four spins over hurdles, his best effort coming on latest at Cork (2m7f, yielding) when a neck second of 13; likely to make a bold bid dropped back in trip for his local yard. |
100/30 |

2nd 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Had some very useful bumper form; distant second on hurdling debut (2m4f) in the autumn; bounced back from poor effort when fifth over 2m4f here last month, but was beaten 20l; should come on a bit for that run and this is easier. |

Lightly raced 5yo shaped with some promise on January's handicap debut at Naas, weaking late over 2m3f; not at the same level there on latest; each-way contender if at his best. |
