Bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles in a Fairyhouse handicap in February; found life tougher off higher marks and was well beaten on chasing debut at Galway; others preferred. |

11st 2lb |
6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

6th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |
10st 3lb |
Has been in good form at a lower level in both codes this winter; in front when falling at the last at Thurles (2m2f); beaten 10l over that trip last time and cheekpieces added. |
9/1 |

4th 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 185y |
11st 7lb |
Stays much further but handled drop back to 2m when landing Naas handicap hurdle in December (soft to heavy); second past the post at Thurles early last month, disqualified after his rider weighed in light; leading and appeared set to win when falling at the last at the same venue three weeks ago; raised 4lb; could be hard to beat. |

Winning chaser; stays much farther but handled drop back to 2m when landing handicap hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) on penultimate start; trip-versatile and relatively unexposed over fences; 8lb higher than when winning over 2m5f here in October.. could be in the mix. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise for Joseph O'Brien; had plenty to spare when winning Limerick novice handicap (15.5f, heavy) off 106 last month; disappointing in Naas novice hurdle 15 days ago; tongue-tied back in handicap company. |
9/1 |

Showed promise for Joseph O'Brien; shaped respectably after a long layoff on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in December; on the retreat when falling two at the same venue on next start; had plenty to spare when winning a novice handicap at Limerick; could hold his own here. |

Showed promise for Joseph O'Brien and shaped nicely enough after a huge layoff on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in December; on the retreat when falling two out back there latest (2m4f, yielding); could do better dropped in trip if that hasn't left a mark. |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 55y |
11st 8lb |
Generally consistent maiden went close in handicap hurdles this term; fell two out here in 2m handicap when still in the mix in February; narrowly beaten by well-backed Charles Byrnes runner in 2m beginners' chase here last week; stamina to prove on handicap chase bow. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Back to something like his maiden hurdle form when second to King Kali in handicap hurdle at Limerick in December; third at same venue after; still in the mix when fell two out here over hurdles lto leaving Mount Frisco clear; unseated on only chase start last year; enjoys soft ground. |
10/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 76y |

Weakened over 2m4f on handicap bow at Cork; much better at Limerick in December when 3.5l runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (2m, heavy) under this rider; third at Limerick on latest; should be right in the mix again. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 188y |
11st 9lb |
Progressive in four runs over C&D last winter, notably runaway win on heavy; solid run after a break here in March and reappeared at Listowel last month, running a bit in snatches, staying on late; that should have him spot on for this and has to be respected. |
11/2 |

6th 4 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Progressive in four runs at Limerick last winter, having earlier finished sixth in this race on his Irish debut; seems significant that Eric McNamara has kept him fresh for this meeting which he is targeting with a lot of runners; definite chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
In fine form for local yard; won off 13lb lower over C&D (heavy) in November; career best off 103 when a 1.75l runner-up in a C&D Listed handicap hurdle in December, although form not working out so well; nudged up another 3lb but clearly loves it here and he's a huge player in this modest grade. |

Now 0-10 hurdling, pick of form when placed in heavy-ground Limerick handicap at Christmas; more recent form leaves him with a lot to find and new headgear combination tried. |

Beaten under 7l in two of his handicaps and off a lower mark now, so if the tongue-tie can trigger a revival, he could run well. |

Bits and bobs of form in a course bumper, a couple of maidens and when okay sixth in 2m3f Cork handicap; this longer trip might help and King in the saddle is always a plus. |

Something amiss when tailed off in a 2m4f chase at Limerick in May; had previously won a 2m handicap hurdle in testing conditions at the same venue. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 3lb |
Goes chasing off the back of a handicap hurdle win here last month off 80 (2m, soft to heavy; fine on good), keeping on well to lead at the death; should make a chaser; interesting contender. |
3/1 |
Verdict
Only beaten 1.75l in a Listed hurdle over C&D last time, LENJOLEUR DE PALMA had previously won here and can defy a further 3lb rise today. Is Charlie Around was also runner-up over C&D last time but the winner has let the form down since. Themanintheanorak is respected. [Tyrone Molloy]
