30th Apr 2026 Yielding 4m 1f 11y |
11st 12lb |
Beat Desertmore House in this event in last year when trained by Joseph O'Brien, for whom he won five chases in all, including the 2022 Kerry National; well below best when fifth behind Desertmore House here in November, tailed off at Cheltenham in November, had a first spin for Enda Bolger over hurdles and an inadequate trip at Cork; not ruled out. |

Five-time chase winner's last two runs for Joseph O'Brien came in Cross Country races at Punchestown and Cheltenham; now with Enda Bolger and faces a tough task on these terms over a trip that looks too sharp. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 2lb |
Breakthrough win over hurdles on latest at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); hit hard with an 11lb hike for that 11l victory and consistency has never been a strong suit, so is no banker to back that up. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |

Winning chaser; weak record (0-18) as a hurdler makes it hard to be confident; not a big price when down the field at Gowran on latest. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 29y |

Maiden hurdler but immediate breakthrough over fences in 2m4f Gowran beginners in November (heavy) under a positive ride; similar tactics employed in 2m6f Fairyhouse rated novice 9 days ago but didn't get home when third; return to this trip should suit but others possibly better handicapped. |

11st 5lb |
Has hit the frame in both handicap hurdle outings in 2025, the latest when runner-up at Cork beaten 2l in April; mixed signals on the strength of that form but fit after respectable Flat outing last month and feasibly treated on old form. |

French soft ground winner won over 2m at Clonmel last year off 76 and later added AW win; restricted campaign this year, never counting at Galway last time over 1m4f and has twice missed engagements since due to yielding ground; remains a bit high in the handicap. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
9st 10lb |
Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability. |

Rewarded for her consistency with a Gowran win in October (1m4f, heavy) before signing off with close-up fourth at Galway; took the Irish Lincoln by the scruff of the neck on return when trying to make all, giving way late to finish fifth; step up in trip will suit. |

Hasn't been at his best on the Flat the last twice (effective in that scene) but he's talented and won a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan in March without much fuss, fulfilling the promise of his initial effort in a good race at Naas; just a worry that those best efforts have been in the mud and this trip represents a new venture. |

Grade 1 winner at four and won valuable handicaps over hurdles and on the level at five; has obviously been terribly hard to keep sound and has only had four outings in five years, showing very little; better for a spin on the Flat at Galway and blinds are back on but very hard to know if the engine is still there. |

Beaten a long way on last two Flat starts, in July 2023 and this February (stable debut); therefore has something to prove but he showed useful form as recent as last May and will be a strong contender if tapping into that ability on today's hurdle debut; the betting may be informative. |
