11st 10lb |
Bumper winner has taken really well to hurdling, winning first three starts over a trip, notably Grade 2 Navan novice and Grade 1 Leopardstown contest (2m6f) at the DRF (beating Kazansky 8l) on heavy; much too keen and ultimately pulled up when favourite for Grade 1 Albert Bartlett on latest and hood now fitted; encounters much better ground now. |

11st 7lb |
His bumper form was nothing to shout about but he's gone 3-3 over hurdles; it wasn't a strong Grade 1 he won at the Dublin Racing Festival (2m6f, heavy; won on good) but he bombed clear to win it by some 8l despite taking a firm grip, and his previous defeat of Thedeviluno looks all the better now; there's a nagging concern that his keen-going tendencies might come at a cost in this race, but other than that he's solid. |

11st 10lb |
Four bumper runs, the first in 2024; after a year off, third at Clonmel last March; won at Ballinrobe in May; fairly tame effort at the Galway festival; made a bright start over hurdles at the same venue and looked smart when winning a four-runner Grade 2 event at Navan (2m4f, soft to heavy); form well franked by runner-up Thedeviluno at Doncaster. |

11st 10lb |
Leopardstown maiden winner has contested Grade 1 novices all three starts since, notably remote fifth to Doctor Steinberg at same venue and better form on latest at Aintree in 3m1f Sefton Novices' when decent fourth in first-time cheekpieces (good-to-soft); this probably a stronger race so more needed. |

Talented Irish raider but with questions to answer at this level having twice finished well beaten in Grade 1s (2m4f/2m6f) since winning a maiden at Leopardstown over Christmas; the cheekpieces are new. |

11st 5lb |
Second runner for yard; bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles on seventh try at Limerick last time; that was over this trip on heavy ground but has run well on a sounder surface; looks the main threat to stablemate Timeless Treaty. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Bumper winner; useful form in six hurdling starts, never out of the first three; third of 21 in Listed DRF handicap in February (3m, heavy); runner-up in 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle 12 days ago; will go well again but is becoming costly to follow. |

Bumper winner; useful form in five hurdling starts, never out of the first three; ran on well to take third at Navan in January (2m6f, soft to heavy); beaten 15l third in a Leopardstown Listed handicap two months ago (3m, heavy); new headgear combination tried, |

Bumper winner last June; gained first hurdles win in good style at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good) on latest; the third has since won over fences; up 7lb but step up in trip is no problem; should go well. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner last June; 0-6 over hurdles but has shown enough to suggest he can win races; beaten 16l when fifth of 15 over 2m3f at Cork latest; shaped nicely over 3m in Wexford novice previously so longer trip here a plus; chance. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner (good) is 0-5 over hurdles; kept on for a 17l third of 13 at Thurles on handicap debut (2m7f, soft to heavy); respectable enough third in a Wexford rated novice hurdle last time when well backed (3-1); weakened that day, so perhaps this trip can help; not dismissed. |

Didn't show a whole lot in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; assessor relenting, but others have more appealing profiles. |

11st 12lb |
Dual-point winner bagged a first success under rules in May when keeping on well to win over C&D off 7lb lower (soft) and the runner-up won next time; has his chance of following up but this better ground and revised mark is a different test. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Dual point winner is yet to score from nine runs under rules; claims on the basis of his neck runner-up finish at Naas (3m, soft to heavy); below that level when favourite here eight days later; disappointed in cheekpieces (left off) at Kilbeggan; solid chance if he handles the ground. |

10st 11lb |
Left modest form behind upped to 2m4f at Wexford (good to yielding) for second handicap, still in contention when unseating at the final flight; backed into favouritism on that occasion (85-40, previous shortest price was 25-1); well bred and could be the answer. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Modest form in maidens and his fourth on handicap debut at Clonmel (2m, heavy) was a remote one; pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit and it's still early days for this well bred gelding; dropped 1lb and not discounted. |

Modest efforts in maidens over various trip/ground; recent Limerick handicap third was a step in the right direction, may see this out better on this quicker ground; one to consider. |

3rd 13 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 60y |
10st 13lb |
Modest efforts in maiden hurdles at 2m-2m5f on varying ground; needs to step up from handicap debut at Punchestown in January but was beaten only 8.5l and this is a slight ease in grade; could improve. |
