2m maiden hurdle winner at Clonmel last term; generally struggled since and shown nothing in two runs this term; tough ask on chase debut. |

Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle from the front last month (2m4f, soft) but can race keenly and he dropped out to be sixth on his handicap debut at Cork (2m); lightly raced still and could yet have an improved run in him. |

Can race keenly but still won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle from the front last time over 2m4f; has the pace to cope with the drop back to this trip; raised 7lb but looks a big player on handicap debut. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 9lb |
Novice win came at Down Royal last season and pick of this season's handicap form when fourth in 2m4f Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham and held narrow lead when faller two out in 2m4f Tim Duggan Memorial at Limerick over Christmas; didn't stay 3m1f in Thyestes following month and has had time off since; could go well. |

Two good runs at Cheltenham this season, including fourth in the Paddy Power in November, and a creditable second at Limerick on his seasonal debut the previous month; in the lead but beginning to look vulnerable when falling two out in the Tim Duggan at Limerick on latest. |

Improved with each hurdle run in Ireland, winning a Kilbeggan maiden in May; hasn't threatened the winner in his two British novice hurdles but they were good horses ahead of him; ground should be fine for him on handicap debut. |

2nd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Irish hurdler who justified favouritism at Down Royal (2m1f, soft; drew clear run-in) last week, building on his promising reappearance effort (2m4f); has low mileage and looks likely to progress further; leading player even with 7lb penalty. |

11st 4lb |
Gradually progressing over hurdles; outstayed over 2m at Limerick in January and again outpointed by a Mullins-trained horse here earlier this month (seventh home No Fussing won since); unlikely to get a better opportunity than this and very hard to oppose. |

Second in a Naas bumper last winter first time out; absent until a moderate fourth at Sligo in October; fair run as stable's second-string at Thurles on first hurdles outing, taking fifth in a contest won by a subsequent Grade 2 winner; 14l clear of the third when chasing home a well-fancied rival at Limerick last time; strong chance. |
