21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway. |

Got off the mark on his first start for the stable in a first-time tongue-tie when landing a 2m handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; emerged with plenty of credit when a good runner-up to a useful performer on the Flat at Bellewstown since; plenty of weight but should make his presence felt. |

Bumper winner; yet to show much over fences and his second here on latest was an extremely remote one (beaten 70l, just two finished); cheekpieces go on now for handicap chase debut; not easy to make a case for. |

11st 9lb |
Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company. |

Top bumper performer; won Leopardstown Grade 2 (2m, soft) in February last year; good third behind Bambino Fever at the Punchestown festival next time; beaten 9l by Koktail Brut (now rated 139) at Punchestown on hurdling debut when Splendid Fellow was a remote third; has failed to match that form in outings at Navan and Naas. |

One of three for yard; bright start over timber, winning a C&D maiden (heavy) and beating Blake by a head in the Royal Bond; limitations seemingly exposed in Grade 1 company on his next three runs but back on song with a Grade 2 win at Fairyhouse last time (left in lead after Blake fell at the last); wouldn't want the track to dry out too much. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

Proved useful in bumpers but is held by a couple of today's rivals on Punchestown festival running; form over hurdles (kept to 2m) features a narrow success in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse and respectable fourth in steadily run Grade 1 at Leopardstown, sandwiching a Christmas flop that is best forgiven (bled from nose); however, may lack the class needed for this assignment. |

May be flattered by mark of 123, which he got after chasing home a subsequent Grade 2 winner/Grade 1 runner-up at Cork; should come on from latest sixth at Fairyhouse which was his first run for four months; pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit. |

Third in a point-to-point at Dromahane last April; respectable fourth on hurdling/stable debut at Limerick; did best of the remainder in a Punchestown maiden dominated by the subsequent Royal Bond winner Koktail Brut and Colcannon; form of his Cork second to subsequent Grade 2 winner and Grade 1 second Kazanksy suggests he may cope with Colcannon now. |
