9st 13lb |
Has had a gelding operation since his 2.5l C&D fourth behind Ameerat Jumaira 43 days ago from 2lb out of the handicap; that form has been franked by the winner and runner up since and he races off a 5lb lower mark here; has to be considered. |

8st 7lb |
Leopardstown maiden winner; easy to back on handicap debut at the Curragh and from off the pace he lacked the gears to land much of a blow (1m1f, yielding); going up in trip should help although 2lb wrong. |

9st 0lb |
Successful reappearance in Leopardstown maiden last month (1m, good) but too keen and not clear run when over 2l off Soldier's Empire in Gowran conditions event since; still scope for improvement and although seemingly owner's second-choice can't be ruled out on handicap debut. |

9st 8lb |
20-race maiden; in the frame in five of his six course outings including over 1m4f last month; poor run at the Curragh since but respected back here for a yard that get winners in claimers. |

Is frustratingly still a maiden after 19 starts but has run well plenty of times including second over 1m4f at Dundalk last time; this trip suits better; disappointing previous time with cheekpieces; best on good ground. |

Has placed form at this track; won a 1m4f handicap off 75 at Fairyhouse when last sighted in June; off since and has had a gelding operation; got a 6lb hike for that last win and this drop back to 10.5f not certain to suit on the evidence of his last couple of runs. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a C&D maiden last week (Ozark Daze behind); much worse off at the weights with that rival back in handicap company; should go well again at a track he likes but may struggle to uphold form with Ozark Daze. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Easy winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last October and he took a big step back in right direction when seventh of 23 in the County at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft); missed the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month due to heavy ground; still only five and he's 1lb lower than in the County; major player. |

Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time winner, with six on the Flat and two over hurdles; had some struggles during the winter but he showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton (fourth of 12) last month and is now 5lb lower than for his win at Nottingham in the autumn (1m2f); handles most ground and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

Weighed in light when down the field in a claimer last time out; best efforts have come over a fair bit further than this and hard to recommend on recent form. |
