28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard. |

Maiden over hurdles but some decent runs including here in March; however, was poor in a Fairyhouse handicap last time; a fair bit to find on chase bow. |

11st 7lb |
By a Derby winner and there's lots of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree; unraced beyond 2m2f under rules (did win a 3m point); maiden winner who was turned over at 8-11 last time, but in a messy race won by the classy Sober; he wouldn't be the first horse representing these connections to deliver a clear career best in this race. |

Half-brother to winners Classic Theatre (bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdler/chaser) and Miss Sassie (2m hurdle/2m4f chase); dam bumper winner, half-sister to high-class 2m4f-3m chaser Joncol; point-to-point winner last season for Cormac Doyle and having been touched off on bumper debut at Limerick in December went one better following month in similar contest (heavy); obvious appeal now sent hurdling. |

Top-class bumper performer in 2022-23 season; encouraging enough hurdles debut at Fairyhouse a year ago but let down by jumping on more testing ground at Naas subsequently; switched to Flat this year, notably winning Leopardstown amateur maiden (good), most recently never sighted in Naas premier handicap; back hurdling here with concerns over jumping remaining. |

Brother to French Grade 1-winning hurdler Sain D'Esprit; placed in both bumpers in Britain for Ewan Whillans last term and best run yet on latest of two starts for current yard when second at Kilbeggan in June; likely make up into a better hurdler but may need this following a break. |

Had been going the wrong way since his Downpatrick second (2m2f, good) in June, but he was still keeping on at the end of this month's Killarney stable debut despite needing to switch; eye-catching booking of Sean Bowen. |
