Is in the form of his career this year for a new yard; won a Roscommon Listed race on seasonal debut and was an unlucky runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; his new rating of 112 looks debatable but a repeat of his best will make him difficult to beat. |

Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

11 time winner on the Flat; some good runs for Rebecca Menzies, highlighted by a selling handicap hurdle win last December and two placed efforts over 1m4f at Catterick in April; his stable debut 12 days ago at Limerick was okay when seventh of 12 (1m3f, good); declared to run in 7.50 Ballinrobe on Monday. |

Has thrived over hurdles for this yard, winning a 2m3f maiden and a pair of 2m events in his last three starts; successful over 1m6f on the Flat in Ireland last summer and he's a big player off a workable mark back in this sphere. |

7th 12 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |

Dual-purpose type; won on the Flat at Listowel in September; return to hurdles with a fine effort behind The Busy Fool and Park Of Kings at Naas (hampered); is 1lb wrong here but he can go well if repeating his last run and getting a clearer passage. |
