31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 7lb |
Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in a valuable event in Killarney; highly tried later in the year; made mistakes and finished in rear over C&D on return. |

11st 4lb |
Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C&D in June before finishing a nose second in valuable event in Killarney; too much on his plate backend of last year and returns on an okay mark. |

Dual hurdle winner is 2-25 over fences but placed many times; lost his form over the summer but a bit better at Cork last time; needs a fair bit more. |

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. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
10st 2lb |
Solee chase win came in 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap in 2024, absent since second in same race last August off 11lb higher; lack of a recent run a concern, so too the ground. |

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. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 6f 97y |

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. |

19th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 100y |

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]
