Won on bottomless ground at Fairyhouse in December 2023 off 113 and just 1lb higher now; shaped okay in a Limerick handicap chase after a three month break last month; the forecast rain is a big plus for him; not discounted. |

11st 5lb |
Useful money-spinner, only three wins from 23 starts but placed 13 times, notably when beaten a short head in last season's Cork National; not at his best in the Porterstown but enjoys heavy ground and is leniently treated back over hurdles. |

Tough task over hurdles last time and wasn't pulling up any trees in handicap chases before that; sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud. |

On a long losing run and his fourth here when last seen in April was a remote one; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; his record when fresh suggests he'll need this run. |

2m2f handicap chase win here nearly five years ago was his last success; after lengthy absence yet to hit form this season, last of five behind R'evelyn Pleasure at Limerick on latest; rapidly declining mark but remains opposable. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |
4/5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; he's finished in the first three in two points this year and could be involved returning to rules action. |

Lost form for Noel Meade but signs of life on first two starts in handicap hurdles for Ian Donoghue; brought down on return to chasing at Wexford and remains on what appears a high enough mark. |

Lost form for Noel Meade but signs of life on first two starts in handicap hurdles for Ian Donoghue; reverts to chasing and is on a fair mark on some of his old form; handles most ground and not discounted. |

Hurdle and chase winner was regressive over fences last year for former yard but showed some spark on return back over hurdles when third at Punchestown at 66/1; a chance with improvement likely from that. |

More than three years since his last racecourse win; okay run in a Cork hunters' chase when a 22l fifth but tailed off at Punchestown last time; blinkers go on now but unlikely. |
