11st 10lb |
Steadily progressive since upped in trip, winning 2m3f maiden here before considerably better form in 3m Albert Bartlett last month, only conceding second late on to Fruit De Mer having led at the last; handles this better ground and easier finish could suit. |

11st 7lb |
Pedigree doesn't exactly scream stamina but he did win a 3m point and his trainer believes this race will suit him; all his rules form is at up to 2m3f, over which he beat Doctor Du Mesnil in a small field at Punchestown last time (heavy); doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash; seems able on all ground; respected. |

3-6 in bumpers; promise on hurdles debut behind Thedeviluno and Skylight Hustle at Gowran; stayed on strongly for third in the Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; disappointed upped to Grade 1 company at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; leading claims upped in trip and returned to maiden company. |

10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Looked highly promising when winning a 2m3f bumper by 11l here last year (second won Grade 2 over hurdles); career didn't take off as expected over hurdles last season; beaten easily at 2-5 by the Passing Wife at Punchestown; pulled up at Cheltenham last time in a tongue-tie that's now left off; not a rock-solid contender, but the one to beat. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made light work of Thedeviluno in his only bumper (yielding); very nearly won a big-field maiden at Leopardstown over Christmas but he was left for dead by The Passing Wife when odds of 2-5 in a small field at Punchestown (stepped up to 2m3f, heavy); hopes rest on whether this is more his trip, and pedigree offers mixed messages; first-time tongue-tie. |

2nd 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Looked a smart prospect when beating Thedeviluno by 11l on debut in a Cork bumper in April (2m3f, yielding); beaten a nose when runner up in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle at Christmas (2m, yielding) but would have finished third if El Cairos didn't fall; holds multiple Grade 1 entries and should go well upped in trip if handling this testing ground. |

Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles and was well beaten in sole previous handicap off 3lb higher at Limerick on penultimate; best form has come on heavy ground; others preferred. |
