10st 0lb |
Improved from his first two runs of the season when finishing well for second over extended 1m2f at Sligo; often placed, but a 2-31 strike-rate is off-putting. |

Won a valuable mares' handicap hurdle in February and some good hurdle runs since in defeat; ran a cracker back in this sphere in a valuable Naas handicap last time but has a bit to find today. |

Flat recruit makes debut over hurdles for powerful yard; 1-11 on the level with a career best RPR of 83; well-beaten in first time tongue tie (retained) after 290 day absence at Galway (25-1); at least will strip fitter for that run and can never discount from this stable. |

Maiden hurdle and three-time Flat winner; found 1m2f inadequate on seasonal debut; extra couple of furlongs here should help. |

Maiden hurdle and three-time Flat winner; two tame efforts hurdling in the winter but ended last season with a fair fifth of 16 at Leopardstown over 1m4f off current mark; handles the mud; respected. |

1m6f/1m4f scorer last term and he wasn't disgraced despite racing freely in a change of headgear when fifth of 11 over C&D nine days ago; reverts to cheekpieces, replacing a visor; considered. |

Regressive maiden for former yards was pulled-up on hurdling debut last time; new yard is going well but will have to work the oracle with this mare; tongue-tie on. |

11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
11st 12lb |
Made almost all to win this race last year (Ballycashin third); ran well off 10lb higher mark at Tramore in August; otherwise has done all his racing on the Flat over the past year; placed on multiple occasions, fair form late; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe last Friday. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
9st 11lb |
All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground. |
9/2 |

14th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 4lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-22 on turf on the Flat; all three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground; has run well over C&D before and fit from the AW but remains 4lb above last win and beaten off lower AW mark on latest. |
10/1 |
Verdict
This looks competitive, despite the small field. Last year’s winner Royal Eagle should give a good account and hat-trick seeker Vischio is another one for the shortlist despite a 7lb rise for her latest success. However, one of these should fall the way of EXPOUND who has been going close of late and now gets first-time cheekpieces which could help him get his head in front; he’s been leniently left on the same mark for his latest narrow defeat.
