11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
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. |
5/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Bumper winner landed a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in February (2m4f, heavy); raised 7lb and has struggled in two starts since, including when 6.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme here (2m4f) on latest; moves up in trip now; more needed off this mark. |

Bumper winner got the breakthrough over hurdles at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) last month off 109; sent off favourite at Gowran 11 days later when well beaten, disputing lead entering the straight but bad mistake two out before folding; not discounted. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

Maiden ran well at Galway and Limerick in final two runs of 2025 but hasn't matched those efforts the last twice; beaten 19l when sixth at Cork latest; new hood needs to eke out more. |

Posted fine efforts at Galway in October (2m, good to yielding) and at Limerick in December (2m, heavy); took a step backwards at Fairyhouse when tailed off; given a break since then; place chance. |

Modest form so far in a bumper and a trio of maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; related to plenty of winners and could improve for handicaps; check the market. |

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. |

1st 15 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
10st 10lb |
Minor promise in first three handicap starts on decent ground at 2m-2m6f in 2024; returned from 535-day absence when (backed) remote fourth in C&D novice handicap in February; better for that but still best watched on this sort of ground. |
10/1 |
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]
