Won bumpers at Killarney and Galway, almost a year apart, making all on latter occasion; beaten 17l by a smart horse at Naas on hurdling debut; took advantage of a mishap to El Cairos to win a maiden at Leopardstown; probably unsuited by soft ground when running poorly at Thurles two months ago.

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard.

Runner-up to Bambino Fever in last year's Champion Bumper; won on hurdle debut at Listowel (2m, good-to-yielding) before 3l second to subsequent Challow Hurdle winner No Drama This End in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft); much too free and jumped untidily in a similar Cheltenham race in January; back to form in winning a four-runner Punchestown event.

Runner-up in the Champion Bumper here (2m, good to soft) last March and won on hurdle debut at Listowel before 3l second in Grade 2 here (2m5f, soft), behind No Drama This End who won the Grade 1 Challow last month; this front-runner is open to improvement if settling better and he's a key player.

J: Mark McDonagh

Only 1-5 in bumpers but finished second in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March and that form sets him apart in this company, for all that he was no doubt flattered after racing prominently off slow fractions; hard to oppose on hurdling debut.

Useful Flat handicapper; finished in mid-field in the 2025 Triumph on hurdling debut; easy winner of a Punchestown maiden in January; second-best of a disappointing Irish contingent when sixth in the Supreme Novices; giving him a slight edge over Koktail Brut.
