17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Won this in 2024 off 1lb higher mark and timely return to form last month under forcing tactics, winning over 2m at Punchestown and only denied by a neck off 5lb higher over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; up another 3lb but likely big player again. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Back to form with third chase win in fine style at Punchestown nine days ago (20.5f, yielding), making all to win by 3.25l; 5lb rise for that, but won this race off this mark last year; obvious chance if in the same form but consistency not a strong suit. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 13lb |
2-30 over fences, both wins coming at Kilbeggan; is 5lb below his latest win but he's been out of sorts for a while and not an ideal preparation for this when falling at the fifth fence at Kilbeggan just six days ago; fourth in this last year but others make more appeal. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Second in a C&D handicap chase last year; very solid efforts in Listed contests at Leopardstown and Punchestown before a disappointing effort in the Mayo National; a definite player if he comes back to his previous form. |
14/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 9lb |
Just 1-17 over fences and that 3m1f victory at Kilbeggan was in 2024; beaten a head at Limerick last year and a neck in Listed contest at Leopardstown in March, and has crept up the ratings as a result; another decent effort at Punchestown last time when Cobden got to know him. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 6lb |
Sole chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024 but career-best on latest when just failing to get up in 2m6f Leopardstown handicap in March (yielding-to-soft), his first run since August; should go well. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but bounced back quickly from a disappointing December run when close second in competitive handicap here (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and will pose a threat if able to transfer that form to fences at the first attempt; first-time tongue-tie. |

11st 2lb |
Won at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) last November when back from a break and has run well in defeat on his four starts since, most recently at Down Royal (3m, yielding) in May; can go well fresh and could be a player. |

Has dipped beneath her winning mark and that Clonmel success in 2022 was also after a break; not discounted. |

5th Feb 2024 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |

Has won on heavy; decent third in a 3m handicap here in December but failed to build on that at Fairyhouse last month; good enough to get involved. |

Maiden in fair form over hurdles and fences lately; long way adrift of Rule Of June and Drimsree Lad when fourth at Clonmel, pulled up at Kilbeggan yesterday. |

15-race maiden; ran okay over fences on chase debut at Clonmel 10 days ago; each-way claims if he builds on that. |

Verdict
Just three count in all likelihood and ITSWHATUNITESUS (nap) can confirm the good impression he created at Cork to repel the challenges of Invictus Machin and Holmes St Georges. [Mark Nunan]
