11st 4lb |
Has had a busy time since sent hurdling last August; three wins include two over 2m at this venue, including in a handicap with this rider aboard; form has been uneven; bounced back from a dismal Fairyhouse run when second at Navan, again for this rider. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
1m2f French Flat winner who did well for former Irish connections, in victory and defeat over hurdles; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown (soft) and it was only three days later he finished well held under a penalty (same mark here) in the Fred Winter, though that run was better than it looks on paper; this is his first handicap against older opposition and he's very much in the mix. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f French Flat winner; won a maiden hurdle (yielding) in Ireland in October and continued his progress with seconds this winter in a Listed race and Punchestown handicap; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown on Saturday (soft), picking up the penalty that secured his place here; connections strike while the iron is hot and he merits attention, for all that Harry Cobden was aboard at the weekend but not now. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
French Flat winner who scored on hurdle debut at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in October and has continued to run well, finishing a clear second in a 4yo handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January on final outing for Ross O'Sullivan; could have a part to play on stable debut. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ex-Irish; has shown fair form over hurdles; well beaten over C&D on stable debut last month; likely to fare better when going handicapping. |
50/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed little in a maiden and four spins over hurdles in Ireland; sold to join current yard for 12,000euros in February; makes stable debut and unlikely to be seen to best effect until he runs in handicaps. |
50/1 |

3rd 6 |
26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Huge odds and never sighted in trio of maidens at around 2m including one here on soft to heavy when beaten 23l into fifth of 13; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and likely best watched. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Tailed off on chase debut last time; hasn't had much racing and he was second in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in February (2m, heavy), albeit some 12l off the winner; all his form is in the mud, except when well beaten in a good-ground bumper. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |
6/1 |

2nd 16 |
18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
10st 10lb |
Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |
16/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Ran well when a 1.5l runner up in a 3yo Killarney maiden hurdle in July; 3.5l behind Kibris in a Cork maiden in October (15.5f, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten far here (2m3f, sft-hvy) on handicap debut latest; could go well dropped back in trip off the same mark. |

Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Flat maiden has run with credit several times over hurdles, including twice at this track and is ground-versatile; should be closely involved. |

3rd 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 0lb |
Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat winner at the start of his career but failed to progress in juvenile hurdles last season after a promising start; also well held back on the Flat at the Curragh six weeks ago (final start for Joseph O'Brien); more than capable of making his presence felt in a race like this if putting his best foot forward but starts out for a new yard (same owners) with a point to prove. |
7/2 |

14th 7 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Looked potentially smart when landing C&D maiden in November 2024; didn't reach heights expected in four starts in Group, conditions and handicap company last season but had a couple of good runs over hurdles in recent months; acts on soft and big-field handicap could be right up his street. |
18/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner (yld-sft) has shown promise in all three maiden hurdles at around 2m on varying ground; got to within 2.5l of Wizard Of Odds in a Cork maiden (2m, good) and that horse finished 5.5l ahead of Bibe Mus on his next start; opening mark looks fair and could go well with jockey claiming 5lb. |
