11st 10lb |
Dual Flat winner gained both of his hurdle wins consecutively on better ground at this track last season, including in this race; just 3lb above winning mark and his seasonal return here (2m1f, good to yielding) when an 11l third was encouraging. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Won this race last year and followed up in May; course form is an important asset, so worth considering despite having finished out of the money on his final two starts in 2025; 10lb higher now than when winning snugly 12 months ago on similar ground. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |

First reserve; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner broke his three-year winless streak when successful on the Flat at Sligo 12 days ago (1m3f, yielding to soft); not certain to back it up. |

1st 8 (5) |

No success since a Punchestown maiden hurdle win (2m, heavy) three years ago; Downpatrick third in March was more encouraging but of limited appeal back on the Flat here. |

11st 5lb |
Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 10lb |
Emphatically off the mark over hurdles at the ninth attempt at Ballinrobe in August (2m3f, good); form in behind not worth much; unable to justify favouritism in three Flat runs since then but they were creditable all the same; not discounted. |
6/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Generally dependable dual-purpose mare; stayed on well for a 4l third behind today's rivals Idomything and You Make Me Smile over extended 1m4f at Bellewstown (soft) last October; well fancied when third on seasonal debut at Navan; should be a bit sharper now and can uphold form with Mystic Rose and You Make Me Smile. |

11st 4lb |
0-9 over hurdles; okay run at Punchestown on handicap debut in January (2,4f, soft to heavy) but his run back there next time was a step backwards; good run back in maiden company at Bellewstown last time when runner-up (2m1f, yielding); chance if building on that run. |

Is 0-8 over hurdles; okay run when a 6l sixth of ten in a Cork maiden hurdle in October (2m, good); struggled in Grade 2s at Cheltenham and Leopardstown but not beaten too far on handicap debut at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy); Punchestown run was a step backwards. |
