In fine form last October under today's rider, winning over C&D off 48 and good second at the Curragh two days later; later same month ran creditably off this mark despite tardy start and absent since; hood now tried on return; draw may not be ideal. |

Ex-Irish gelding who struggled in three runs early in the year for Barry Brennan; well backed for his new yard on Tapeta early last month, when things didn't pan out his way, and is on an attractive mark currently; shortlisted. |

Fair AW form when trained in Ireland, recording an RPR of 69 as recently as November; ran poorly in his three starts for Barry Brennan this year but he has dropped 9lb for his troubles and starts out for a new yard at a low level; tongue-tie added; interesting. |

Thrived since joining this yard, three wins from five at this track, albeit all at 5f, most recently off 77 early this month; speedy type up an aggregate of 32lb this term so rider's claim very valuable here and now tries 6f again. |

Shaped well on yard debut before easy win off 54 over C&D in October; first past the post from 12lb higher mark next time but badly hampered Buddy Batt and was placed second; went up another 3lb but won going away over C&D last month (Dontspoilasale fourth; form boosted); will be hard to beat despite another 8lb hike. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
9st 6lb |
Strong-travelling maiden went close over C&D last October and again 13 days ago at Sligo when a clear second to a course specialist, coming late (hung right) from a wide draw; blinkers now replace visor; should go well, although ideally wants it softer. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |

Strong-travelling maiden went close in 19-runner handicap over 6f at Navan in the autumn, and returned with good effort there in March when just behind Ukiyo (and in front of Polar Bear and Gegenpressing); again found little when let down at Bellewstown latest and head carriage not endearing; might prefer it softer too. |
