11st 4lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner in 2024 hasn't really built on that promise; ran a fine race on second chase start at Punchestown in December but not as good since; bled when pulled-up last time at Fairyhouse so questions now. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; best chase effort came over 2m7f on heavy in a Punchestown beginners' on penultimate when 3.75l behind the now 142-rated Kurasso Blue (received 8lb); not as good at Gowran latest (2m4f, heavy) but could be on a nice mark for handicap debut based on that Punchestown run. |

Fair chasing debut when a remote fourth behind potential star novice Final Demand at Navan last month; stepped forward from that when third behind Elliott and Mullins runners over 2m7f at Punchestown; more needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

Course winner has been a good flagbearer for yard; latest hurdling effort was creditable 8l eighth in Martin Pipe in March; fair runs in beginners' chases since, over 3m1f last time; bit to find but mightn't be far away. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
Talented hurdler rated 132 in that sphere; placed in three of four starts over fences, including over C&D (yld-sft) in December when 16.5l third behind Argento Boy; another decent effort when a 9l second behind Butch Cassidy in a Killarney novice four weeks ago; has won here over timber; big chance. |

11st 4lb |
Three hurdle wins and ran a fine race in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, beaten only 8l; unluckily unseated at Punchestown last week; his best chase effort of three came at Gowran in February; gets weight from some of his rivals today and has a solid chance. |

11st 10lb |
Useful sort at his best and has run well in defeat in Grade 1 company over hurdles and fences; finally got off the mark over fences at Down Royal last time over 2m4f; this trip will suit better; a big player. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Promising novice chaser in 2023-2024 season and ran well in Graded hurdles in winter of 2024-2025; fairly moderate form this season but he shaped better than the bare result in the Kim Muir last time when making smooth headway turning in before his effort petered out (3m3f, good); tongue tie goes back on now and this is a good opportunity. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Promising novice chaser in 2023-24 season and ran well in Graded hurdles in winter 2024-25; well handicapped on his peak form but he's failed to produce it over the last 12 months; 0-9 over fences and last hurdle win was in April 2023; a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

12st 0lb |
Point winner easily won a Tipperary hunter chase in May last year; has been hit or miss since, but one of his better efforts came at Downpatrick last month when taking third (3m, good), making a mistake at two out; way below that level over hurdles at Limerick last time; return to fences should help. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |
11st 1lb |
Hunter chase winner at Tipperary last year has been hit or miss since; one of the hits came at Downpatrick last time when beaten 3.75l in third in a handicap chase (3m, good); reverts to hurdles now off 13lb lower mark but is 0-7 in this sphere without troubling judge. |

Standout form in 14 starts came when beaten 1.75l by Je T'ai Porte at Limerick a year ago; not threatened to rediscover that run since and hasn't completed in last three starts; up in trip. |
