11st 5lb |
Second runner for yard; bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles on seventh try at Limerick last time; that was over this trip on heavy ground but has run well on a sounder surface; looks the main threat to stablemate Timeless Treaty. |

Bumper winner; useful form in six hurdling starts, never out of the first three; third of 21 in Listed DRF handicap in February (3m, heavy); runner-up in 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle 12 days ago; will go well again but is becoming costly to follow. |

Point winner; only second run over hurdles when third behind No Drama This End (runner-up also a class act) in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November (2m5f, soft); defeated at odds-on in very testing conditions in course maiden; pulled up in the Albert Bartlet; rated 130 and one to beat. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
3m point winner kept to shorter trips thus far under rules; only his second run over hurdles when a running-on third behind No Drama This End (runner-up is also a class act) in a 2m5f Grade 2 here in November (soft) and perhaps it's best to forgive his odds-on defeat on desperately tiring ground in a maiden at Limerick last time; remains a maiden but so too was Minella Indo who won this race for the same yard in 2019; makes the shortlist. |

Hasn't really fired since finishing second in Clonmel maiden hurdle in December; too much to find on ratings. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 4lb |
Modest form on testing ground in bumpers and hurdles; much better effort on latest when backed at big odds in a 2m4f Sligo maiden hurdle, his first run on good ground; place chance again stepped up in trip. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
All four starts on testing ground and yet to get closer than 17l to the winner; beaten 48l when fourth at Limerick latest; rating of 94 possibly flatters him; better ground needs to spark major improvement. |

Modest third in Gowran bumper (2m, soft to heavy) in January 2025; tailed off here after absence on hurdles debut in Februray; likely to fall well short. |
