Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing behind Aspurofthemoment at Galway; pulled up in Kerry National, Paul Townend aboard now; stamina doubt remains. |

Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing at Galway; those races were over shorter distances; a question mark about her ability to stay effectively. |

Was previously a useful prospect and a Listed bumper winner; returned from two years off the track when pulled-up in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse in April; down in grade here and possesses strong claims if she retains all her ability. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); 2024 County Hurdle winner was well below his best in that race this season back from a break (2m1f, soft); improved display at Cork when 3.25l behind Ndaawi (16.5f, yielding); a good bit to find with Lossiemouth even if running to his rating, which he hasn't done so far this term. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Classy dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); below best after a break in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but should be sharper now and Harry Cobden has won on him before; top rated at 153 and obvious chance. |

Won this in 2024 and third last year, albeit off much lower marks; operated a little below his very best on the Flat last year, including in Australia in the autumn, which perhaps raises a few doubts as to whether he'll be able to find the career-best hurdle performance which will be needed to defy such a lofty mark. |
