29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner at last year's festival on yielding ground; off the mark over hurdles at fourth attempt when dropped back to 2m in a four-runner Leopardstown novice early last month, outpacing odds-on favourite Grey Jude from the last; beat all bar the unconsidered Sept Etoile in a 3m handicap at Fairyhouse; strong chance. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y |
11st 10lb |
Punchestown festival bumper (yielding) winner last term, got off the mark over hurdles at fourth attempt when dropped back to 2m in 4-runner Leopardstown novice last month, outpacing odds-on favourite from last (heavy); type to keep improving, stays at least 2m5f; one to consider on handicap debut. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Punchestown festival bumper (yielding) winner last term has coped with softer conditions on latest two runs in 2m5f maiden hurdles, hampered by winner run-in when clear second at same venue and at Thurles last month only tired late on when third (conceding 8lb to first two); much better suited at the weights here an drops in trip. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 6lb |
Useful placed form in bumpers; never worse than second in four runs over hurdles; quite closely matched with Raise You Up on Naas running; however, no match for Vitorio Piel at Leopardstown. |

2nd 5 |
2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of four attempts hurdling, notably making all then idling in closing stages in 2m Cork maiden and in 2m3f Naas auction novice last month clear with winner when just outstayed late on in testing conditions; prominent racer drops in trip; big player. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 101y |
11st 6lb |
Half-brother to 3m hurdle winner Kinder Kid cost 10,000euros as a 3yo; useful placed form in bumpers and improvement on each of three attempts hurdling, most recently making all then idling and just holding on in closing stages in Cork maiden in late November (yielding-to-soft); should stay this longer trip although first attempt on soft. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner is 1-6 over hurdles and rated 115; not a bad effort over 2m in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest and shaped like further would suit; dam related to a couple of useful chasers and yard coming into form; could go well. |
8/1 |

6th 12 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 8lb |
Winner of an ordinary Thurles maiden hurdle in December (2m, yielding); outpaced on handicap debut at same venue before satisfactory third in a Leopardstown novice hurdle next time (2m, soft to heavy); didn't improve for step up in trip in Down Royal handicap last time (2m5f, yielding); point-to-point win came on good ground. |
12/1 |

8th 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 86y |

Point-to-point winner built on promise in bumpers and maiden hurdles to win ordinary 2m Thurles maiden in December (yielding); outpaced over 2m at Thurles on handicap debut; satisfactory run in a 2m novice event last time; this longer trip could help his cause |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Well held at big odds on Punchestown bumper debut last May but reappeared two months later much improved (well-backed) to land 2m Roscommon maiden hurdle, hitting the line strongly on good ground; tongue-tie fitted here and encounters much different ground conditions. |

Sent off at 66-1 for a Punchestown bumper on debut and finished down the field; now switches to hurdles; others appeal more. |
