After a layoff and on first start since rejoining stable, was back to winning ways, despite not jumping fluently, in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Killarney (gd-yld); raised 6lb and now steps up in grade; will need a career best to follow up. |

10st 9lb |
Good record at this venue, including C&D win in 2024; 10-1 for Mayo National at Ballinrobe in late May after an encouraging run over hurdles, but was tailed off; chase mark is dropping and capable of going well back here. |

Mixes chasing with hurdling and has run well here over flights; won a couple of handicap chases in 2024 but held in four starts over the larger obstacles since, including on first start of the year at Wexford last month; second over hurdles since and has dropped below latest winning chase mark. |

Dual chase winner with three hurdle wins on the board; beaten 17l over fences on last month's return from a lengthy break but might strip fitter here and Kennedy is booked. |

Six-time winner (four chases, two hurdles) holds a 14lb lower hurdles mark and ran a very encouraging race returning from an absence at Killarney when third; entitled to improve on that; interesting. |

Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles, making all over 2m7f at Clonmel in April and fair fourth here following month (2m4f); return to longer trip to suit and yard going well. |

Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles; won this last year and he returns on the back of a narrow win at Clonmel (2m7f); has to enter the equation. |

Point and maiden hurdle winner; was disappointing in first-time blinkers at Listowel last time when keen; cheekpieces tried today; ran well enough on sole chase start last year; not ruled out. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 2lb |
Good ground Thurles maiden hurdle winner who has been placed off this mark; ran a decent race faced with an unrealistic task at Cork on stable debut and another positive effort at Killarney when fifth back in handicap company (4.25l behind Falco Blitz); blinkers go on and he's lightly-raced for his age. |

6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |

Bumper winner landed a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in February (2m4f, heavy); raised 7lb and has struggled in two starts since, including when 6.5l behind Onlymammycanloveme here (2m4f) on latest; moves up in trip now; more needed off this mark. |

Bumper winner got the breakthrough over hurdles at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) last month off 109; sent off favourite at Gowran 11 days later when well beaten, disputing lead entering the straight but bad mistake two out before folding; not discounted. |

Dual handicap winner and better than ever when third of 23 at Leopardstown over Christmas (good to yielding); slower ground not ideal since then and could be a factor here in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |

Gained second handicap win off 104 at Cork in November (2m, yielding); well beaten at Punchestown next time but improved for step up in trip when staying on third of 23 at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, good to yielding); weakened into a 20l fifth of ten at Thurles (2m7f, heavy); better chance if the ground dries out. |

Gained second handicap win off 10lb lower at Cork in November (2m, yielding); well beaten at Punchestown but improved for step up in trip when staying on third of 23 at Leopardstown last month (20.5f, good to yielding); not certain to back that up on softer but respected. |

Half-brother to Ben Pauling's smart 3m chaser Henry's Friend; two wins over hurdles last year at up to 2m6f; made mistakes in his point-to-points before that and this trip will be too sharp for him on chase debut. |

Limerick maiden winner last year (2m1f, good) and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out here in May in race won by Burru over 2m4f; poor Listowel run later in month and has had a break since (upped in trip). |

Limerick maiden hurdle winner this time last year (2m1f, good); travelling smoothly and looked likely to be involved in the finish when sprawling and unseating at the second last at Limerick last time off this mark (2m4f, good to yielding); lightly raced and dangerous if repeating; good third in the Lartigue (2m, good to yielding) in other run at this track. |
