11st 12lb |
With Gavin Cromwell when tailed off in his previous hurdle race in 2024; plenty of competitive Flat form since then for John McConnell but not overly appealing on this return to jumping action. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Only 1-23, the win coming over 1m6f at Wolverhampton; did go off favourite here two weeks ago and a lack of pace after starting slowly wasn't ideal (behind Desert Friend); had previously hinted at a return to form. |

10st 0lb |
Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |
7/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
12st 0lb |
Stepped up on the form of soft-ground events at Naas and this venue when fourth at Kilbeggan; 50-1 then, likely to be one of the leading fancies now in what looks a weaker contest; better ground was probably the key to his improvement, and the form could be solid with Gavin Cromwell and Willie Mullins responsible for the placed horses |
7/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 0lb |
Okay runs in a couple of maidens and nice bit of improvement on recent handicap debut at Clonmel when good second of 13 (beaten 1l) on soft, only outstayed late; 3lb higher but entitled to be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |
11st 2lb |
Fair fourth in C&D maiden on debut a year ago; out of his depth in Punchestown festival bumper following month; creditable third in Cork maiden in October; should be sharper after a run in a Gowran maiden last month; definite chance in first handicap. |

Jet Away half-brother to 2m4f chase winner Speedalong; dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m/1m4f Flat winner and high-class 2m chaser Lake Kariba; yard does well here and market possibly good guide on debut. |
