Form & Verdict
Failed to place in six Flat starts; no wins from seven 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 at Limerick over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap when last seen; thereabouts at his best.

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.

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

Form & Verdict
22,000gns 3yo; has run in two academy hurdles; well supported on debut at Fairyhouse, failed to find any extra after pecking on landing over the second last and weakening into third; could manage only third behind stablemate Lynches Knock when favourite for a 2m2f Leopardstown contest; tongue tie may get more from him and Kennedy keeps the faith.

Third in both starts in academy hurdles (beaten favourite both times); same position in 4yo maidens at Navan and Cork, beaten over 20l both times; half-brother to two Flat winners; dam, a Group-placed 1m winner by Galileo, half-sister Giants Causeway; of some interest on Flat debut.

Third in both starts in academy hurdles and filled the same position in a 4yo maiden at Navan (2m, heavy) on latest, though was beaten 25l; best effort came on good to yielding ground so could do better now; rated 116; place chance.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner is rated 75 in that sphere following a host of runner-up finishes for Joseph O'Brien; well beaten on hurdling/stable debut at Thurles (2m, heavy), but improved effort at Hereford when a 6l runner-up, getting tired late on (2m, heavy); that's something to build on.

Won a Galway maiden on second start for Joseph O'Brien in October 2024 but no joy since, although second to Flying Fortress in Listowel handicap; three runs over hurdles since joining Ado McGuinness before tame Curragh effort last time; new headgear combination tried and handicapper giving her a chance.

Won a Galway maiden on second start for Joseph O'Brien in October 2024 but no joy since; has had three runs over hurdles since joining Ado McGuinness so will at least be fit and new visor might provide a spark.
