5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Off the mark with shock 150-1 success in 2m1f Down Royal maiden in January (second and third both good winners since, rated 129 and 125 respectively); nowhere near that form following month however when third in 2m Ayr novice on soft; upped in trip for handicap debut and on a decent mark if taking that maiden win literally. |

Fourth in two points and held when unseating at last flight on hurdle debut in December, but sprung 125-1 shock in maiden hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding to soft) last month; leading claims if confirming that promise. |

Promising racecourse debut when fourth in valuable Fairyhouse bumper last season; underwhelming odds-on favourite at Thurles in December but ran far better when third at Down Royal when mistake two out proved costly; similar level of form when third again at Punchestown lto; drop in trip not sure to suit but a strong contender nonetheless. |

Shaped with promise on debut in Fairyhouse bumper last April but disappointing odds-on favourite on last month's return in Thurles maiden hurdle, fading tamely after being made plenty of use of; winner Zeus Power has won again since but lots of improvement needed to play a major role here. |

Point winner showed smart form in bumpers; sent off short enough odds for both maiden hurdles but beaten 44l at Down Royal (2m1f, yld-sft) and 21l when fifth of 15 at Killarney when last seen in May; new hood needs to eke out more. |

Form of his debut bumper win has worked out well but disappointing since; beaten favourite in a Cheltenham November bumper when third and weakened tamely at Leopardstown; hurdles didn't spark a return to form at Down Royal last time; big chance if back to form of bumper win, but that's a big if. |

Three flat wins for Michael Bell came at 1m6f on quick ground; ordinary enough hurdles form for current yard but fine run on the flat over this trip at the Curragh on Derby weekend back on decent ground, only losing second late on when 2lb out of handicap; down in grade here and tongue-tie tried; has to be respected. |
