11st 12lb |
Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown last June on good ground; placed in novice events at Bellewstown and Galway; failed to sustain that form in two outings before being left off in the autumn; Flat win over 1m4f came after a lengthy break, so could go well here. |

Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown in June (16.5f, good); made a race of it with the hugely promising Davy Crockett on penultimate at Galway; disappointing run on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (18.5f) on latest; not sure this step up in trip will suit. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time hurdles winner (rated 113); unseated early on stable and chase debut at Downpatrick; ran a fine race from the front at 80-1 when second to the useful Royal Hollow at Clonmel last month; should be able to pick up a race over fences on that evidence but this looks like a more competitive race. |

130-rated hurdler; fair efforts on first two chase runs, though was beaten by longer-priced stablemate Port Joulain at Fairyhouse in January; beaten falling at the last in a Leopardstown event that has been well advertised by the 8l runner-up Come Walk With Me in landing handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown. |

Smart hurdler is rated 130 in that sphere and has won in heavy ground; solid efforts on both chase runs, though was beaten by a longer-priced stablemate last time; comes out a clear best at these weights, though, and has a good opportunity to go one better. |

One of three for trainer; useful hurdler was fourth in the Grade 2 Mares' Novice at Cheltenham but was below that in final two runs last season; made a positive course debut over fences last month (2m, soft) when taking the runner-up spot and jumping well in the main; should be able to get off the mark over fences here. |

Back-to-back winner of handicap hurdle at Roscommon and Galway last summer, both at around 2m on good ground; testing conditions were against him at Navan in February; harder to excuse a poor Downpatrick run; unplaced at Kilbeggan last time; could make a summer chaser but will probably need to gain experience. |
