29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Unbeaten in first three starts, point-to-point last term and this season in Listowel bumper and 2m Cork maiden hurdle in November, making most; contested Leopardstown Grade 1 novices' both starts since, dropping away tamely before the last and then never sighted in first-time tongue-tie at the DRF on heavy; drops in class here and upped in trip. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner.; won 18-runner Listowel bumper on first start for Henry de Bromhead; recovered well from a slight mistake two out to land the odds in Cork maiden hurdle; lost unbeaten record at Christmas, hard to see him matching Talk To Talk based on that; tongue-tie on now. |

Won an incident-packed maiden point (only three of the 11 completed) at Loughanmore in April for the influential Sean Doyle; prominent all the way when winning an 18-runner bumper at Listowel on first start for Henry de Bromhead; the rematch with third-placed Grey Jude is probably the key to this race. |

Useful placed form in bumpers; never worse than second in four runs over hurdles; quite closely matched with Raise You Up on Naas running; however, no match for Vitorio Piel at Leopardstown. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of four attempts hurdling, notably making all then idling in closing stages in 2m Cork maiden and in 2m3f Naas auction novice last month clear with winner when just outstayed late on in testing conditions; prominent racer drops in trip; big player. |

Half-brother to 3m hurdle winner Kinder Kid cost 10,000euros as a 3yo; useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of three attempts hurdling, most recently making all then idling and just holding on in closing stages in Cork maiden in late November (yielding-to-soft); should stay this longer trip although first attempt on soft. |

Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here. |

Maintained his progress with a front-running win on good to yielding at Kilbeggan (2m; 4-11f) but probably needs another step forward to defy his penalty in this stronger race. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Promising third behind an odds-on shot on debut in a Cork maiden hurdle last November; got closer to the runner-up Grey Jude when beaten a head at the same venue later that month; Grey Jude's official rating of 122 implies that he could be hard to beat here. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Promise in his first two maiden hurdle runs but was poor at Fairyhouse last time; still one to consider on handicap debut and the market could clarify matters as one of three for his yard. |

11st 7lb |
Progressive type who showed promise in two runs over hurdles in Ireland and has shaped well on both starts for this stable, making the frame on both occasions; latest was at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in April; enters handicaps with plenty of potential. |

Third in big-field maiden at Leopardstown's Christmas festival (2m4f, good to yielding) and again ran well when second at Huntingdon (2m, good) for new stable last month; back up in trip here and has another big role to play. |

Standout effort came at this venue (2m, yielding) last October when 1 2.25l second to Cousin Kate; hasn't replicated that since and was reluctant at the start at Cork on latest in cheekpieces (discarded); a bit to prove up in trip. |
