It was never in much doubt when impressively off the mark in a 1m maiden at Killarney in May; absent since and returns in a tongue-tie, but he's dangerously unexposed; market useful with the stable also running Vega Magnifico. |

Shaped well on debut for Johnny Feane in a 6f maiden at Naas last November, staying on late for fourth after starting slowly; confirmed promise at Sligo on seasonal debut; had plenty to spare when winning a 1m Killarney maiden in May, form boosted by the second with an 8l win at Listowel; unexposed sort, holds a leading chance. |

Lightly raced 4yo was having first run since July (gelded) when staying-on second to an improver at the Curragh last month (7f, yielding-to-soft) in first-time visor; yet to race in testing conditions but good chance he'll handle it and one to consider. |

Late-developing colt; placed at Limerick and this venue (beaten even-money favourite) before hacking up in a maiden at Listowel early last month; interesting in first handicap, though mark is not obviously lenient. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky. |

Won over a mile on the Flat last summer but has yet to transfer that ability to hurdles, last seen pulling up at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in October on handicap hurdle debut; returns from a 184-day break off 3lb lower, but still with a bit to prove. |

Won on the Flat this summer (wore cheeklpieces) and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Stratford maiden hurdle (2m, good; no headgear) last month; well beaten on recent handicap hurdle debut, though, and difficult to enthuse over after that performance; cheekpieces refitted. |

Has has improved significantly since blinkers were added, completing a Dundalk hat-trick (1m-1m4f) in December /January and even better form when second of 12 to Penzance over 1m2f at Lingfield five weeks ago; there's nothing wrong with that form so he's yet another who has to enter the reckoning. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced on AW in Ireland but he has improved significantly since blinkers were added, most recently running away with a 1m handicap at Dundalk in January (taking him to 3-3 in headgear); no issue with the longer trip (won over 1m4f on penultimate start) but a 13lb rise for last time (raised a total of 28lb for the three wins), allied to significantly stronger opposition, could leave him vulnerable; his tendency to hang sharply right won't be an asset here either. |

One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best. |
