11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Third in the 3m5f Irish National last April, despite an indifferent round of jumping, and third of 16 with cheekpieces at Leopardstown on latest outing was his best form, despite just the 2m5f; kept jumping out to his right in the latter and although a case can be made for him, it would have to gloss over that he's completed only four of his eight chases. |

Won 2m4f Gowran beginners' chase last season but completion record since has been poor, standout run when good third in 3m5f Irish National, despite indifferent round of jumping; pulled up both outings this term in 3m handicaps, in Troytown at Navan and after a hesitant round of jumping in Thyestes at Gowran in January; hard to be confident in. |

Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell in May 2024 (good to yielding); showed nothing for new yard in four chase starts but kept on well to win a Clonmel claiming hurdle six days ago (2m1f, heavy) by 1.75l; entitled to win that day on the weightings and nice weight here as well given his rating of 113. |

11st 2lb |
Maiden who was below par at Punchestown in May on her final run for Pat Fahy and same story on this month's stable debut at Sligo; however, she may have needed that run and she was second in a Listed mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m5f, soft) in April; one of two for last year's winning Irish yard and she's not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Maiden has put up plenty of decent efforts in defeat over hurdles and fences; just denied in a mares' Listed handicap chase (2m5f) at Fairyhouse but was poor over 3m at Punchestown since; yard debut after a break but can run well if ready enough. |

Enjoyed a standout season, highlighted by landing Grade 3 honours at Naas in January (2m, heavy); has been found out upped to Grade 1 level twice this term, 19l behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana Hurdle (16.5f, soft to heavy) and no chance when unseated at the last in the Hatton's Grace (2m4f, yielding to soft); below his best in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last time; hard to see him being involved. |

Better than ever this season and has contested two Grade 1s; appreciated the drop in class when making all in a Grade 3 at Naas (2m, heavy) and this 7yo is a good bet to give his running (stays this far); very sound jumper. |
