Back from a mid-season break with sound efforts in defeat over 10.5f at Down Royal (good) and Naas (yielding); worth another go at this trip but very testing ground would be a query. |

Dual-purpose; 1-17 over hurdles and rated 117; heavy defeat on debut for this yard in Punchestown handicap hurdle 24 days ago; unproven at this trip; best watched in first chase. |

Flat winner got off the mark immediately over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden hurdle last year (2m, heavy); well beaten in a Naas novice contest next time before some consistent Flat efforts; unseen since tailed off at Naas back over hurdles on final start for Michael O'Callaghan in November; needs to bring his best. |

6-11 over 10.7f-1m4f at Dundalk, including winning his last three under Rory Mulligan; 4lb higher mark and different track pose questions, but not opposed lightly. |

|
1st 1 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Bidding for a hat-trick after wins over the extended 1m2f (beating today's rival Daonethatgotaway) and this trip, accounting for Voice Of Reason, with Benavente back in fourth; capable of making his presence felt despite 12lb aggregate rise. |
6/1 |

Three-time course winner at 1m2f-1m4f, including a week ago over the shorter distance, winning with some authority under today's rider; 7lb rise but has to be respected. |

Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

2nd 5 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Scored his third course win and his first over this trip when a neck too good for today's rival Benavente last month; had reached the first three in six consecutive races before last week's fourth of nine in a race in which Beauparc beat Voice Of Reason |

Sole success came over 6f on heavy ground for former yard in Britain; decent run on similar ground at Gowran last month, trip probably too far both starts since; blinkers now tried and drops back in trip so could improve on recent efforts. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

9st 5lb |
Placed three times; showed little over hurdles during the winter; left an impresssion he would benefit from a return to longer trips when a staying-on ninth of 26 over 1m at the Cuerragh; can do better but needs to reverse form with Satono Chevalier and Lady Mary Heath. |

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. |

In wonderful form here at the moment, gained his first win since 2022 when breaking his AW duck over C&D in February; up 6lb and absolutely bolted up last time, with Storm Eric 5.5l back in second; up 10lb more and entering a higher grade, but decent draw and he's flying. |

1m AW winner saw off Reposado by 2.25l at the Curragh (6f, soft) on latest and the runner up ran with credit off 4lb higher back there last weekend; however, she'll need a big career best off this mark and quick ground is a concern. |

Surprisingly off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a 1m Dundalk handicap in December at 50-1; creditable fifth next time on AW and returned to turf in a C&D fillies' handicap earlier this month with a good third despite being 3lb wrong; player. |

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out. |

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy. |

Won on turf in Ireland last summer and he has form figures of 3143231 on AW since joining his current yard; up another 4lb but he knuckled down well at Wolverhampton last time and he remains well handicapped on his best form; key player in his bid for a double. |
